Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for molding light emitting diode (LED) lamps. A mold frame is provided around each LED chip in an array. A first mold insert is placed in the mold frame and light converting material comprising a carrier and light converting particles is injected into the first mold insert to form a light converting molding around each LED chip. The first mold insert is removed. A second mold insert is placed in the mold frame and lens material is injected into the first mold insert to form a lens molding around the light converting molding for each LED chip.
