Abstract

A light emitting diode has a base made of electrically conductive material and having a receiving recess defined in a top of the base and at least one step formed on a peripheral edge thereof, a lighting chip received in the receiving recess of the base, a heat dissipating element made of electrical insulation material and having at least two supports extending out of the heat dissipating element to electrically connect to the lighting chip. The heat dissipating element is mounted on top of the base and is so configured to mate with the at least one step of the base. A translucent cover is mounted on top of the heat dissipating element.
