Patent ID: 8637880

Claim:
An LED lighting assembly comprising: i. a flexible top conductive layer comprising a first conductive metal, the flexible top conductive layer having a thickness from 4 to 100 microns; ii. a flexible bottom heat sink layer comprising a second conductive metal and the flexible bottom heat sink layer having a thickness of at least 50 microns; iii. a flexible dielectric middle layer comprising a polymer, the flexible dielectric middle layer having a thickness from 4 to 100 microns and providing electrical insulation between the flexible top conductive layer and the flexible bottom heat sink layer; the first conductive metal of the flexible top conductive layer being the same or different from the second conductive metal of the flexible bottom heat sink layer; said LED lighting assembly having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of defined positions spaced along the longitudinal axis, and being bent at least degrees proximate at least one of the plurality of defined positions spaced along the longitudinal axis or being twisted relative to the longitudinal axis; and wherein at least a portion of the plurality of defined positions comprise an LED and wherein the LED is in electrical communication with a circuit.
