Abstract
A method for making an LED lighting fixture includes the steps of: a) cutting a flat blank to form a flat plate including a central piece having a central region and a circumferential region, and a plurality of peripheral extensions; b) forming on the flat plate a patterned circuit which includes a plurality of electrical contact pairs that are formed on the central piece or the peripheral extensions; c) bringing a plurality of LED dies into electrical contact with the electrical contact pairs, respectively; and d) bending the peripheral extensions rearwardly relative to the central piece and toward the central axis to form a shell.
