Claim:
1. A method of forming a lighting element, comprising: forming a first substrate; applying a first conductive element over the first substrate; forming a first transparent conductive layer at least partially adjacent to the first conductive element, applying a second conductive element over the first substrate; installing a light-emitting element over the first substrate such that a first contact of the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the first conductive element and such that a second contact of the light-emitting element is electrically connected to the second conductive element, the first and second contacts both being on a first surface of the light-emitting element; forming an affixing layer over the first substrate; and forming a transparent layer over the light-emitting element and the affixing layer such that the affixing layer affixes the transparent layer to the first substrate, wherein the light-emitting element is configured to emit light having a first narrow range of wavelengths between 10 nm and 100,000 nm from the second surface, in the operation of installing the light-emitting element, the first contact is formed to be at least partially adjacent to the first transparent conductive layer, the first transparent conductive layer is configured to electrically connect the first contact and the first conductive element, the first and second conductive elements are both at least partially transparent to visible light, and the transparent layer, the affixing layer, and first transparent conductive layer are all sufficiently transparent to visible light such that they will not decrease light transmittance below 70%.
