## Abstract

A light emitting diode assembly and method of manufacturing the same. The light emitting diode assembly has a heat sink. The assembly additionally has a platform assembly with a substrate having driving elements including a plurality of light emitting diode elements disposed thereon. The driving elements and light emitting diode elements are in electric communication with an AC input to produce an initial light output. The plurality of light emitting diodes emit an initial light output that is a first predetermined amount of lumens in a first lumen range and emit an initial light output that is a second predetermined amount of lumens in a second lumen range current is changed without the need to change the manufacturing process.
