Hi ... and if you take a hammer to one, they have a cheap little switcher built right into the base of the bulb.

If you all check, they are using LEDs in traffic signals now by the thousands. These are variations of multiple LEDs used in these signals and they are all powered by 115vac thru the traffic controllers. Joe k3wry In a message dated 9/18/2012 1:28:18 A.M.

If enough LEDs are wired in series such that the peak DC voltage from the rectified 110 AC line does not exceed the max current rating of the LEDs this should eliminate any excess current from flowing. Obviously, this does not provide for any safety isolation from the line. Hmmmmm.... Maybe if an 1:1 isolation transformer is used except that it would be too heavy and large....
