Patent ID: 7784993

Claim:
A watertight, light emitting diode lamp comprising: a lens cover having an annular neck that forms a lens cover opening; a light emitting diode having at least two light emitting diode leads, said leads having a crimp formed therein so as to create contact surfaces on said light emitting diode leads; a lamp holder comprising: at least two light emitting diode sockets that have conductive socket contact surfaces that are releasably engaged by said contact surfaces on said light emitting diode leads, so that said light emitting diode can be replaced; at least two wire connectors that are conductively connected to said light emitting diode socket conductors and to at least two power leads; a housing comprising a plastic insulating material that surrounds and encloses said light emitting diode sockets, said light emitting diode socket conductors and said wire connectors to seal said light emitting diode sockets, said light emitting diode socket conductors and said wire connectors from moisture and provide electrical isolation between said light emitting diode sockets, said light emitting diode socket conductors and said wire connectors, said plastic insulating material formed to provide an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall that create a ring cavity between said inner and outer annular walls having a size that substantially matches said annular neck of said lens cover to form a watertight seal between said lens cover and said lamp holder.
