Abstract
An outdoor luminaire comprises a housing adapted to be mounted on an outdoor structure, an input disposed in the housing that receives AC power, and at least one rectification element coupled to the input and which produces rectified AC electrical power comprising a plurality of cycles. At least one LED driver circuit is coupled to the at least one rectification element and a plurality of LEDs is coupled to the at least one LED driver circuit. The LEDs are turned on at different points during each of the plurality of cycles and together develop an output level of at least about 2000 lumens.
