Abstract:
1. A light source comprising: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface located opposite the first surface; at least one first electrically conductive layer affixed to the first surface of the substrate and partially covering the first surface of the substrate, the at least one first electrically conductive layer being substantially more electrically conductive than the substrate; at least one second electrically conductive layer affixed to the first surface of the substrate and partially covering the first surface of the substrate, the at least one second electrically conductive layer being substantially more electrically conductive than the substrate; at least one third electrically conductive layer affixed to the second surface of the substrate and partially covering the second surface of the substrate, the at least one third electrically conductive layer being substantially more electrically conductive than the substrate; a light emitter affixed to the first surface of the substrate in an area not covered by either of the at least one first electrically conductive layer or the at least one second electrically conductive layer, the light emitter comprising a first terminal and a second terminal; a heat sink affixed to a portion of the second side of the substrate in an area not covered by the at least third electrically conductive layer approximating the location of the light emitter on the opposite side of the substrate; a first conductor connected to first terminal and the at least one first electrically conductive layer; and a second conductor connected to the second terminal and the at least one second electrically conductive layer.
