A light-emitting device, electrically connected to an external variable voltage source, includes a plurality of light-emitting modules sequentially electrically connected in series and electrically connected to the external variable voltage source. Each light-emitting module has at least one light-emitting unit, a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal. At least one of the light-emitting modules has a control unit and a bypass unit electrically connected to the light-emitting unit. The second connection terminal of the light-emitting module having the bypass unit and the control unit is electrically connected to the first connection terminal of the other light-emitting module and serves as a detection terminal. The control unit detects a voltage of the detection terminal and accordingly controls the bypass unit to adjust a current flowing through the light-emitting unit.
