A linear drive circuit and an LED light including the same. The linear drive circuit includes an AC-DC module, an LED module, a CCT and brightness control module, and a drive control module. The AC-DC module is connected to the LED module through a first unidirectional conductive element, and is configured to obtain an AC input voltage control signal, and convert the AC input voltage control signal into a corresponding DC voltage control signal. The CCT and brightness control module is connected to the LED module, and is configured to obtain a corresponding CCT control signal or a brightness control signal according to the DC voltage control signal, so as to adjust the CCT of each LED string in the LED module. The drive control module is configured to receive the brightness control signal, thereby adjusting the brightness of the LED module.
