Patent attributes
A light emitting component can include a substrate, a light emitting device supported by the substrate, wherein the light-emitting device has first and second terminals, and a switching element supported by the substrate and having first and second terminals electrically connected to the first and second terminals of the light-emitting device, respectively. The switching element is configured to, at least in part, divert at least some current away from the light emitting device when the switching element is in a closed state. An electrical connection between the first terminal of the switching element and the first terminal of the light emitting device can have a length of less than 5 cm (e.g., less than 2 cm, less than 1 cm, less than 5 mm, less than 1 mm). A current regulator may be supported by a second substrate and can supply current to the light emitting device.
