LED circuit

Using white LEDs for illuminating our homes is becoming popular nowadays, due to the high power
efficiency involved with these devices. The diagram shows a straightforward configuration involving
many LEDs, arranged in series and parallel.
Refrring to the shown LED tube light circuit using transformer we see the LEDs are driven by a
general purpose 24 V power supply for illuminating the LED bank very brightly. The
power supply incorporates standard bridge and capacitor network for the required rectification
and filtration of the supply voltage to the LEDs.
The arrangement of the LEDs is done in the following way:
The supply voltage being 24, dividing it by the forward voltage of a white LED which is around 3 volts
gives 24/3 = 6, meaning the supply voltage will be able to support at the most 6 LEDs in series.
However since we are interested to include many LEDs (132 here), we need to connect many of
these series connected strings of LED through parallel connections.
That's exactly what we do here.
Total 22 strings of LEDs having 6 in each are connected in parallel, as shown in the figure.
Since current limiting becomes an important issue with the white LEDs, a limiting resistor is added in
series with each of the strings. The value of the resistor may be optimized by the user
for adjusting the overall illumination of the LED tube light.
The proposed design will provide enough light for illuminating a small 10 by 10 room brightly, and
will consume not more than 0.02 * 22 = 0.44 Amps or 0.44 * 24 = 10.56 watts of power.
