Abstract: A process for producing a lamp (100), including forming one or more electrical connectors (1702, 1704) having a predetermined shape for making electrical connections to one or more light source assemblies (1200) mounted at predetermined locations on a non-planar support (1506). The light source assemblies are formed by forming an electrical insulator (1302) on a peripheral region of an electrically conductive receptacle (602), forming an electrically conductive contact (902) adapted to fit the peripheral region, attaching the electrically conductive contact to the electrical insulator, mounting a light source (1202) in the receptacle, and making a first electrical connection (1204) between the a first electrically conductive contact of the receptacle and a first contact of the light source, and a second electrical connection (1206) between a second electrically conductive contact of the receptacle and a second contact of the light source.

Abstract: A method of producing a lamp, including: mounting light emitting junctions in respective receptacles; mounting the receptacles on a curved support structure so as to form a three-dimensional array; and placing the light emitting junctions in electrical connection with the support structure.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a lamp including a plurality of semi-conductor light emitting junctions with a common layer of fluorescent material arranged thereover, wherein the junctions are provided in a three-dimensional array.
