Claim 18:
19. A method of fabricating a lighting engine, the method comprising:
mounting a flexible printed circuit board on a core such that a body of the flexible printed circuit board at least partially encircles the core, the body having a plurality of segments that each contain a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), each segment disposed at substantially a same distance from a center of the core as each other segment;
routing flexible legs extending from the body along the core such that the flexible legs, flexible body, and core pass through a plane substantially perpendicular to a direction of extension of the flexible legs from the flexible body; and
connecting the flexible legs to a control circuit board external to the core by bending a terminal portion of the flexible legs to contact different contacts of the control circuit board.
