Claim:
1. A light emitting assembly, comprising: a light source configured to emit light substantially about a the plane, the light having a first spectral profile; and a material configured to shift light incident from the light source from the first spectral profile to a second spectral profile and emit light as shifted, wherein the material is or includes a phosphor, the material forms a layer that substantially encircles the light source about the plane, and the material is a spectrum-shifting material; wherein the light, as shifted, is emitted from the assembly generally along an axis orthogonal to the plane; wherein the light source comprises a light emitter configured to emit the light and a reflector configured to re-direct the light as emitted by the light emitter substantially about the plane, a reflective surface in substantial contact with and distal to the spectrum-shifting material relative to the light source, wherein the reflective surface is configured to reflect the light as shifted by the spectrum-shifting material along the axis, and a housing formed from a housing material having a thermal conductivity greater than that of the spectrum-shifting material and configured to conduct heat energy from the spectrum-shifting material, and wherein the housing material is a filled silicone and the reflective surface is a part of the housing.
