But LEDs aren't AC driven.


No **** Sherlock?

I take it you have DC mains at home? Might explain a few things.


No you ****ing idiot each bulbs has it's own SWPS otherwise the LED will only be ON for each half cycle, LEDs are DC components NOT AC.
You don;t know that TV, radios, amnd a lot of teh smaller home appliances run on DC even if you do plug them into the mains AC.
