No... more like a MOV.Like an SCR?

Ok, like in a power strip. Diodes for D/C and MOVs for A/C.No... more like a MOV.
The doctor won’t know either.Looking further, I have found the plug has two small fuses. I'll check those when I get back from the doctor.

Oh heck, I bet I just answered my own question in the diode vs MOV post.
They are bridge rectifiers to change A/C to D/C because LED's run on D/C. DUH! Probably half wave.
I guess I am smarter!
MOVs are in power strips with surge protection, but diodes and MOVs perform totally different functions.Ok, like in a power strip. Diodes for D/C and MOVs for A/C.
I will split the prize with you. Lol.Full wave rectifier would have 4 wires
Half wave uses the leds
MOV would only be 1 unit line to neutral
Fuses are typically in the plug (1 per ckt)
its a current limiting resistor
what do I win?
Because the leds have a forward voltage of 2-3v. each When you have 35 in series they have that same characteristic.Looks like neons to me. They make a good break-over voltage device, as they won't light up and conduct until they hit 70V-110V (90V is common). They do require series resistance, or you'll have a flash bulb.
No idea why they'd be in a string of LEDs though.
I realize that, but what function do the neons perform in this scenario?Because the leds have a forward voltage of 2-3v. each When you have 35 in series they have that same characteristic.
