Abstract:
1. An LED lighting assembly comprising: a bendable thermally conductive member having a first surface and including a substantially central portion and a plurality of projecting bendable portions; a layer of dielectric material positioned on said first surface of said thermally conductive member, including on said substantially central portion and said plurality of projecting portions, but not being present beneath LEDs; a circuit formed on said layer of dielectric material, said circuit adapted for being electrically coupled to a power source for providing electrical power to said LED lighting assembly; a plurality of individually aligned LEDs, each of said LEDs including a body, a lens and a plurality of projecting conductive leads, selected ones of said LEDs being positioned directly on one of said bendable projecting portions of said thermally conductive member and electrically coupled to said circuit formed on said layer of dielectric material and adapted for receiving said electrical power from said power source, said layer of dielectric material including a plurality of openings therein, each of said LEDs being positioned within a respective one of said openings so as to be thermally coupled to said first surface of said thermally conductive member; and a focusing lens having a removable lens member disposed proximate each of said LEDs for concentrating light beams generated thereby in a predetermined direction, whereby said LED light beams are converged to a predetermined area.
