Abstract:
An LED module receives current supplied from a variable current source. The LED module includes a first LED that is connected to a variable current source, a bipolar transistor that is series-connected to the first LED and has a resistance that varies depending on magnitude of the current It supplied from the variable current source, and a second LED that is parallel-connected to a series circuit that is composed of the first LED and the bipolar transistor and differs in luminescent color from the first LED.
