Publication number: 20110006703Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) illumination device utilizes a power transmission line to electrically connect a driving module and at least one LED lamp body. The driving module outputs a high frequency alternating power having above 30 voltages and above 72 Hz frequencies through frequency modulation. Each LED lamp body has at least one LED element and a rectification module. The high frequency alternating power generated from the driving module is modulated by the rectification module into a direct power to drive the LED element.
