Abstract
A modular LED light unit for mounting to an object to illuminate distally located objects comprises a circuit board supporting a plurality of LED lights and a light permeable front cover. The circuit board includes a plurality of apertures with the LED lights being reverse mounted to the circuit board such that each LED light is located by and extends into a separate one of the apertures. The front cover includes an outer surface and an inner surface and at least one optical structure located on the outer surface or inner surface. At least one of the LED lights is axially aligned with the optical structure whereby light emitted from the aligned LED lights is directed into the optical structure.
