Abstract
A receptacle for light emitting diodes includes a housing defining an opening at one end and having a bottom at another end; a first positioning device being a disk adapted to be received in substantially a middle inner periphery of the housing, defining a plurality of holes each of which receives a corresponding light emitting diode; and a second positioning device being a disk including a plurality of holes each of which encloses a head portion of a corresponding one of the light emitting diodes, thereby retaining an axis of each light emitting diode in a same direction.
