Abstract

A light-emitting diode (1) has a lens body (3) that is fabricated from an inorganic solid. Fastened on the lens body (3) are semiconductor chips (2) that emit light beams (18). Furthermore, the light-emitting diode (1) is provided with a housing (20) that can be screwed into a conventional lamp holder via a thread (21).
