  • Patent number: 7249877
    Abstract: A reflector lamp assembly may be formed with a reflector housing having a reflector with a prescribed reflective surface; the reflector formed with a wall defining a through passage. A lamp bulb assembly having an axially extending stem supports a head extending transverse to the axis, the head having a first generally linearly extending region, a first set of LEDs mounted generally in a row along the region oriented to face in one plane towards a reflector. Electrical connections for the LEDs extend through the head, and stem to the exterior of the assembly for electrical connection. A base extends in the through passage and is mechanically mounted to the optical housing with the LED assembly oriented to face the reflective surface.

  • Patent number: 7111971
    Abstract: An LED lamp and a method of making an LED lamp in which the lamp includes a heat conductive post with a base and a top, an insulative body within the post that includes plural wireways and plural electrical leads that each extend through a different one of the wireways and whose ends emerge from the top and the base of the post, a head with plural LED assemblies on the top of the post, and a circuit board for the LED assemblies at the base of the post, the leads being connected to respective LED assemblies and to the circuit board. During manufacture, the leads are mounted in the wireways of the insulative body and the assembled body is inserted into the post.

  • Patent number: 6955451
    Abstract: An LED lamp and a method of making an LED lamp in which the lamp includes a heat conductive post with slots in an exterior of the post, and in which a separate LED assembly is inserted into each of the slots, where each of the LED assemblies has a substrate with an LED at a first end thereof, which is inserted into the slot first, and an electrical conductor that extends from the LED to a second end of the substrate. The electrical conductor is connected to a circuit board that is inside a hollow bottom of the post. A reflector and heat sink are attached to the bottom of the post.
