Patent ID: 7267466

Claim:
A cargo lamp assembly for vehicles, the assembly comprising: a white light emitting diode (LED) having an aperture for emitting a light beam in an arc of about 120° in horizontal and vertical planes; and a lens for receiving the beam and reducing the beam in a horizontal plane to about 60° and reducing the beam in a vertical plane to about 60°, the LED aperture includes a horizontal aperture component adapted for emitting the light beam extending 60° to the left and 60° to the right of a beam axis in the horizontal plane and a vertical aperture component for emitting the light beam extending 60° above the beam axis and 60° below the beam axis in the vertical plane; and wherein said lens is adapted to configure the light beam to an upper boundary in the vertical plane deflected about 10° downwardly relative to the horizontal plane and a lower boundary in the vertical plane extending downwardly about 70° relative to the horizontal plane.
