Abstract
A light projector including a light source coupled to a base and a lens assembly. A sheath can be overmolded over the base and can form a locator sleeve. An aperture can be overmolded over the light source. The locator sleeve can fix the spatial relationship between the light source and the lens assembly. The lens assembly can include a spacer to fix the spatial relationship between two or more lenses in the lens assembly. A thermal management system can be coupled to the sheath to help reduce the temperature of the light projector.
