  • Patent number: 9196584
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a substrate, first LEDs and second LEDs mounted on the substrate, multiple wirings separately formed on the substrate, and a conductive member for connecting adjacent two wirings in multiple wirings for establishing series connection, parallel connection, or a combination of series and parallel connections of the first LEDs and the second LEDs. This achieves the light-emitting device that can support multiple different specifications, using a single type of substrate.
