Abstract:
1. A light emitting diode (LED) lighting apparatus, comprising: a printed circuit board having an array of light emitting diode (LED) chips mounted thereto, the printed circuit board including a segmented conductor pathway configured to electrically couple at least a portion of the array of LED chips and provide an electrical contact configured to electrically couple the segmented conductor pathway to a power source; an array of first optic elements overlying the array of LED chips, wherein each of the LED chips is configured to emit light of a first wavelength range through a light emitting surface of a different associated one of the first optic elements; an array of second optic elements overlying the array of first optic elements, wherein each of the second optic elements is configured to convert light of the first wavelength range to light of a second wavelength range different from the first wavelength range; and a cover which overlies the printed circuit board, wherein the array of second optic elements forms a portion of the cover, the cover including a carrier including a plurality of apertures formed therein, wherein each of the apertures contains one of the second optic elements.
