Patent ID: 7661852

Claim:
An integrated LED lamp that replaces C-type incandescent lamps comprising: a hollow lens having air disposed in a hollow interior portion of said hollow lens; a printed circuit board comprising: conductor leads that are connected to electrical conductors that connect to an alternating current electrical source; a full wave rectifier that rectifies said alternating current electrical source to generate a full wave rectified output signal; an integrating capacitor that integrates said full wave rectified output signal to generate an integrated direct current signal; a zener diode that controls the voltage level of said integrated direct current signal to produce a substantially constant output voltage; at least one light emitting diode disposed in said hollow lens that transmits light through said air disposed in said hollow lens with low attenuations, said light emitting diode connected in parallel with said zener diode, which generates a substantially constant optical output in response to said substantially constant output voltage produced by said zener diode, said light emitting diode having pin leads that are soldered directly to said printed circuit board; a lamp base having connectors that connect said integrated LED bulb to C-type bulb sockets, said lamp base forming an over-molded base that fits inside of said C-type lamp socket and is over-molded around said printed circuit board, said conductors, and said pin leads that are connected to said conductor leads on said printed circuit boards to form a secure, stable lamp base that does not cover said light emitting diode but protects said printed circuit board, said pin leads and said conductor leads, and which has a standard format for connection to C-type bulbs, so that said lamp base fits into an interior portion of said C-type bulb sockets that are attached to said alternating current electrical source, said lamp base being molded to said hollow lens to secure said hollow lens to said lamp base.
