1. An AC/DC lamp comprising:
- an integrated array of series connected micro-LEDs having a direction of current flow and presenting positive and negative terminals, each of said micro-LEDs having an active region between a p-type semiconductor and a n-type semiconductor,said array of series connected micro-LEDs grown on a substrate,said terminals adapted to be connected across a power source to energize said array of series connected micro-LEDs, andsaid array being included in a package formerly designed for use for a standard-sized LED thus enabling said array to function as an indicator lamp.

Abstract
An AC/DC indicator lamp based on an array of micro-LEDs may be powered by a standard high voltage AC or DC power source. The indicator lamp has a low power consumption. The micro-LEDs are serially connected on a substrate with the total device area and power consumption compatible with a standard DC low voltage LED. A plurality of indicator lamps may be connected together in parallel to present a string of indicator lamps.

23. An indicating lamp operable on a source of AC power, said lamp comprising:
-
a first serially-connected array of micro-LEDs grown on a substrate; a second serially-connected array of micro-LEDs grown on said a substrate; said first array being connected in parallel with said second array; said second array being arranged such that it has a reversed current flow direction relative to said first array so that when said lamp is operated using said source of AC power illumination is sustained regardless of current cycle; and said indicator lamp being fittable into a package formerly designed for use for a standard-sized LED.

24. An AC lamp comprising:
-
an integrated array of series connected micro-LEDs; said micro-LEDs being multiple times smaller than a conventional 300 micron by 300 micron LED and thus causing said array to have a size which enables a substitution of said array in a conventional use of said conventional 300 micron by 300 micron LED; and said array fitted into a standard-sized LED indicator lamp package.
