LED means Light Emitting Diode A diode only lets current through in one direction - that's what they do.

AC means Alternating Current - the current goes from plus to minus and back again 50 or 60 times a second (depending on the standard)

Can led works as ac sources?

No. An LED (light emitting diode) allows current to flow in one direction, thus it cannot alternate as is implied by "an AC source". ANSWER: YES they can. Any diode can work with AC They can work from AC line directly. My overhead light in my kitchen are across 120 AC now for 8 years. But then again I know what I am doing

How does an led light bulb work?

LED's (Light Emitting Diodes) work on DC current, not AC, so the AC needs to be stepped down to an appropriate voltage via a transformer (probably only a few volts), converted to DC via a rectifier and filter (to smooth out the ripple current). there are a constant driver in side the 120V AC led light bulb , this driver transfer the AC to DC, so the led could work with DC.
