Patent ID: 7909482

Claim:
A light assembly, comprising: a sheet metal circuit including at least two electrically conductive circuit elements, each circuit element defining opposite side surfaces; at least one LED electrically connected to the circuit elements; at least one electrical component electrically connected to the circuit elements, wherein the one electrical component is selected from the group consisting of a resistor, a diode, a zener diode, a transistor, an integrated circuit, a capacitor, an inductor, a transient voltage suppressor, and a metal oxide varister; and wherein the electrical component is capable of affecting at least one of the voltage and electrical current supplied to the LED; a one-piece body comprising thermoplastic polymer material encasing the LED, the one electrical component, and at least a portion of the opposite side surfaces of the circuit elements; the metal circuit includes at least two cantilevered prongs formed integrally with the electrically conductive circuit elements, the prongs having exposed metal protruding from the thermoplastic polymer material forming the one-piece body, and wherein the thermoplastic polymer material forming the one-piece body includes a cavity having an open end to thereby form a receptacle around the exposed metal of the prongs.
