Abstract
A circuit board () for carrying at least one light source () of a lighting device and a method of manufacturing such a circuit board are provided. The circuit board comprises a substrate (), wherein the substrate comprises at least one fold () forming a projecting portion and extending from a periphery () of the substrate up to an inner portion () of the substrate, whereby the substrate has a polygonal funnel shape. The present aspects use the concept of folding the substrate in order to obtain a polygonal funnel shape of the circuit board, whereby shaping of the substrate without requiring removal of material of the substrate is allowed.
