Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the operating parameters of LED chips from traditional low-voltage high-current mode to high-voltage low-current mode. Specifically, it uses series connection of multiple LED chips to increase operating voltage and reduce operating current, thereby reducing heat generation while maintaining required luminous intensity. This parameter transformation directly resolves the contradiction between illumination intensity and heat dissipation.
