Abstract
A lighting assembly and a lamp for a motor vehicle are described. A leadframe 14 out of a metal sheet material comprises a first part 14c and a second part 14b not directly electrically connected. An LED element 16 is fixed to the leadframe 14. A first contact part 24a is connected to the first leadframe part 14c and a second contact part 24b is connected to the second leadframe part 14b. The LED element 16 is disposed to emit light when operated. In order to achieve a desired directed emission of light in a simple way, the leadframe 14 comprises a light direction section 20a,20b including a reflective surface 30a,30b arrange to reflect the light emitted from the LED element 16.
