Patent ID: 7067848

Claim:
A High Intensity light emitting diode (LED) comprising: a metal base, said metal base having a top surface, a bottom surface, a through hole extending from said top surface to said bottom surface, and a first electrode formed integral with and downwardly extending from said bottom surface; a second electrode inserted through said through hole, said second electrode having a top end suspending above the top surface of said metal base and a bottom end suspending below the bottom surface of said metal base; an electrically insulative sleeve sleeved onto said second electrode and mounted in said through hole to isolate said second electrode from said metal base; at least one light emitting diode (LED) chip mounted on the top surface of said metal base and electrically contacting with said top surface of said metal base, said at least one LED chip electrically connected to the top end of said second electrode by at least one gold wire; and an electrically insulative packaging shell surrounding said metal base and said at least one LED chip, excluding a bottom end of said first electrode and the bottom end of said second electrode.
