Abstract
A lamp () has a cup-shaped body () with a planar bottom () with an up-standing, peripheral sidewall () defining a top (). The body () is thermally conductive and preferably is a metal such as aluminum. A reflective coating () is provided on the inside surface of the planar bottom () and side wall () for reflecting light generated by a single, side emitting LED () that is mounted on a thermally conductive, electrically insulating coupling () and is positioned substantially in the center of the planar bottom (). A lens () for directing a beam of light emitted from the LED () in a desired direction is provided and preferably is a Fresnel optic. The lens () can close the opening () as shown in FIG.or it can be formed as an integral part of bottom () or it can be added to the bottom (), as shown in FIG.. Alternatively, the lens () can be solid with the lens elements either external (FIG.) or internal (FIG.). Electrical connections () to the LED extend through the cup-shaped body ().
