Abstract
A LED package (10) for use in a lamp as well as a method for manufacturing such kind of a LED package (10) are disclosed, wherein the LED package (10) comprises at least one LED (16), an optical element (18) for guiding light emitted by the LED (16), and a cover (26) for covering, at least partially, electrical components (20, 22, 24) connectable to the LED (16). The cover (26) includes three protrusions (38) that form the highest points on the package. The protrusions (38) abut a surface in a housing for accurately positioning the LED package relative to a lens (52) in the housing. The LED package (10) may be spring-loaded. Side protrusions (28) of the cover (26) additionally help to position the package within the housing.
