A lighting arrangement and a method of coupling light into a light guide are described. A light source is embedded within a light guide. The light guide includes first and second outer surfaces arranged on opposite sides. A forward direction extends from the light source parallel to the first outer surface. A collimator is embedded within the light guide.

A method for manufacturing a solid state light-emitting device (LED) lighting apparatus includes forming a leadframe assembly with a group of leadframes connected in series by folded interconnects, mounting LEDs on the leadframes, disposing optical elements about the LEDs, and stretching the leadframe assembly so the interconnects unfold to space apart the LEDs.

Application of a wavelength conversion element is substantially independent of the fabrication of a side-emitting light emitting device. In an example embodiment, the wavelength conversion element is situated around the periphery of a non-wavelength converting lightguide that is situated above the light emitting surface. One or more specular and/or diffusing reflectors are used to direct the light in the lightguide toward the wavelength conversion element at the periphery. In another embodiment, an interference filter may be used to provide predominantly side-emitted light at interfaces between the elements of the light emitting device.
