AC - use a step-down transformer. DC - simplest but most wasteful, use a dropping resistor (in series). Otherwise it is costly.

Why must an LED always have a resistor connected in series with it?

An LED usually has a resistor connected in series with it because an LED (light emitting diode) is not linear in current to voltage (like a resistor) and has to be operated within specified current and voltage conditions. In most circuits the supply voltage is higher than the forward voltage of the LED so the LED would burn up from too much current without a current limiting resistor in series. The resistor sets the voltage and current to a good operating point (voltage and current) for the LED by dropping some voltage across it. The operating point varies depending on the size, type and manufacturer of an LED so the LED's data is used to select the right resistor size for a given voltage source.
