1. A method of providing power to a plurality of light emitting diodes couplable to receive an AC voltage, the plurality of light emitting diodes coupled in series to form a plurality of segments of light emitting diodes each comprising at least one light emitting diode, the plurality of segments of light emitting diodes coupled to a plurality of current regulators, the method comprising:

  • monitoring and regulating a current level through a series light emitting diode current path;

    providing for a first segment of light emitting diodes to be in or out of the series light emitting diode current path at about a first predetermined current level or until the current level has reached about the first predetermined current level; and

    providing for a second segment of light emitting diodes to be in or out of the series light emitting diode current path at about a second predetermined current level or until the current level has reached about the second predetermined current level.
