Abstract
The present invention discloses a side illumination LED lighting device which includes at least one semiconductor light emitter mounted on a thermally conductive substrate and positioned within a reflective cavity such that the forward light path of the LED is directed towards a reflective member. The reflective member is effective in re-directing the light from the semiconductor light emitter such that the light is extracted from the side of the lighting device through a substantially transparent output window, thereby provide a side illumination solid-state semiconductor lighting device. The lighting device may further include a wavelength conversion element to facilitate the production of a white light that can be extracted from the side of the lighting device.
