The invention discloses a low-power LED illuminating lamp, comprising a current-limiting capacitor, a rectifier bridge, a parallel capacitor and an LED lamp, wherein the current-limiting capacitor is connected between the electric supply and a bridge type rectifier in series, the output end of the bridge type rectifier is connected with the LED lamp, and a non-polarity and non-electrolyte capacitor is connected to the output end of the bridge type rectifier in parallel. In the invention, the rectified pulse direct current is used for directly driving the beads of the small-power LED lamp to illuminate by the function of high-internal resistance and self-current limitation function of the small-capacity non-electrolyte capacitor, and both ends of the bead string of the LED lamp are connected with a small-capacity non-electrolyte capacitor and the current-limiting capacitor in parallel for branching voltage to prevent overvoltage instantly generated during switching on a power supply from damaging the beads of the LED lamp. The invention greatly prolongs the service life of the LED lamp, has the advantages of high reliability, low cost, high efficiency, minor power consumption and long service life, and can also be used as a backlight source of a television, a display screen, a notebook computer and the like for illumination.
