Abstract
An LED lighting system includes an LED assembly for emitting light when energized through an electrical path. An optic element in the enclosure receives the light emitted by the LED assembly and disperses the light from the enclosure. The optic element comprises a light guide for transmitting light from the LED assembly to a light emitting portion where the light emitting portion is configured to visually appear like a filament in a traditional bulb.
