1. A light emitting diode (“
- LED”
) module comprising;
a first LED tap and a second LED tap, the first LED tap being powered on for a longer amount of time than the second LED tap, based on an alternating current voltage;
a first LED package on which a first LED associated with the first LED tap and a second LED associated with the second LED tap are disposed, each of the LEDs in the first LED package being associated with a different tap; and
a second LED package on which a third LED associated with the first LED tap and a fourth LED associated with the second LED tap are disposed, each of the LEDs in the second LED package being associated with a different tap,wherein each of the first LED tap and the second LED tap is associated with a same number of LEDs and the second LED package is disposed a distance along a housing from the first LED package such that the LEDs of the first LED package appear approximately as a point light source and the LEDs of the second LED package appear approximately as a point light source, to average out lighting variations provided to the first LED tap and the second LED tap.
