Abstract
A surface mount LED is installed in an incandescent lamp housing. A printed circuit board is used to support the surface mount LED. The printed circuit board has a first conductive path having one end connected to a first terminal and a second conductive path having one end connected to a second terminal. The surface mount LED is installed on the printed circuit board with the anode mounted on the first conductive path and the cathode mounted on the second conductive path. A lamp housing with electrical contacts is used to deliver power to the surface mount LED through the terminals on the printed circuit board. Variations in optical performance can be achieved by combining surface mount LEDs with non-surface mount LEDs.
