Patent attributes
The present invention is a through-hole LED light source with capability of emitting a beam angle of less than 75 degrees. The light source presents a three-dimensional lead frame with a well, into which at least one LED is mounted, and an optical housing which serves as a directional lens. Through adjustment of the housing and lead well properties, beam angle is adjusted to any angle. The frame is three-dimensional, preferably cylindrical, with both inner and outer portions, electrically isolated. The inner portion serves as the mounting area for the LEDs (and contains the well) and the LED serves as the electrical conduit between the portions, completing a circuit an illuminating the LED.
