Patent ID: 8501509

Claim:
A method, comprising: attaching a plurality of solid state emitters (SSEs) to a first side of a flexible interface member while the interface member is at least generally planar; connecting electrical leads of the SSEs to contacts on the interface member while the interface member is at least generally planar; contacting a second side of the flexible interface member to a pillar, the pillar having a first facet oriented in a first direction and at least a second facet sloping at an acute angle relative to the first facet and oriented in a second direction; mounting the flexible interface member to the pillar with a first section of the flexible interface member contacting the first facet and a second section of the flexible interface member contacting the second facet of the pillar such that at least one of the SSEs emits light generally in the first direction and another one of the SSEs emits light generally in the second direction; and electrically connecting the SSEs to the pillar through the contacts.
