Abstract
An LED light bulb system that has a socket base and a contactor arranged in the socket base. The light bulb system also has a support circuit board secured to the socket base and a plurality of circuit boards connected to the support circuit board in a vertical direction. The light bulb also uses at least one resistor on each of the plurality of circuit boards to operate the LED.
