Abstract
A light shaping assembly comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) and a two-dimensional (2D) array formed of a plurality of rows, each row comprising a plurality of light sources mounted on the PCB, each light source comprising a pair of supporting pins for mounting the light source on the PCB. The supporting pins of each light source are bent at an angle that is increasing as a function of a distance between each light source and a selected point on the PCB so that light beams emitted by the light sources are collectively directed toward a common target.
