    One advantage is that when driving from AC there is less flicker and better load distribution. It also means you don't need to worry about reverse breakdown - only current limiting.

    That is really interesting. I knew of bipolar LEDs that were red and green, but those same colour one's seem to be made for string lights in particular.
