Each LED includes a base, a chip mounted on the base, a pair of leads fixed to the base and electrically connected to the chip and an encapsulant sealing the chip. The base includes a main body and a pair of steps. The leads each have two opposite ends protruding from two opposite ends of the main body and located below/above a corresponding step. The protruding ends of the leads of each LED are connected to those of adjacent LEDs to electrically connect the LEDs in series or in parallel.
