It is now common to use LEDs for lightning, especially in mains operated circuits. The challenge has long been to reduce the DC bus capacitor value and to propose new circuits to interface a high voltage AC source with low voltage DC load (LEDs). In this paper a novel structure, Rectifier Bridge Free, using a single AC power stage, is proposed. It implements newly developed GaN AC switches to get the most of the circuit structure.
