Abstract

Reflectors for a semiconductor light emitting device include a lower sidewall portion defining a reflective cavity. A substantially horizontal shoulder portion extends outwardly from the sloped lower sidewall portion. The horizontal shoulder portion has a circumferentially extending moat formed therein. An upper sidewall portion extends upwardly from the horizontal shoulder portion.
