Abstract:
1. A lighting device package comprising: a substrate; one or more light-emitting elements operatively coupled to the substrate; a retaining structure coupled to the substrate and circumscribing the one or more light-emitting elements; an optically transmissive element coupled to the substrate and positioned to intersect a path of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the one or more light-emitting elements; a light transmissive encapsulation material positioned within a volume defined by the substrate, the optically transmissive element and the retaining structure, the encapsulation material thereby at least partially encapsulating the one or more light-emitting elements therein; and two or more supports extending at least partially between the optically transmissive element and the substrate, the two or more supports configured to support the optically transmissive element; wherein the two or more supports are disposed to provide two or more openings for the volume for movement of fluid therethrough.
