Abstract:
1. A method for forming a light source comprising: providing an LED package assembly having a plurality of LEDs disposed on a silicon substrate electrically coupled to a first flexible printed circuit; bonding the LED package assembly directly to a heat-sink having heat dissipating fins with a thermally conductive adhesive; providing an LED driver module having an LED driver circuit on a second flexible printed circuit, the LED driver circuit and the second flexible printed circuit being disposed within a thermally conductive base; applying an operating voltage to the LED driver module; measuring an output voltage of the LED driver module in response to the operating voltage; determining whether the output voltage of the LED driver module meets a desired voltage value; and rejecting the LED driver module in response to a determination that the output voltage does not meet the desired voltage value, or performing the following in response to a determination that the output voltage meets the desired voltage value:
