Abstract
A lamp finding particular application in boat trailers and other vehicular applications is provided with a generally unbreakable lens structure. The lamp preferably is provided with a plurality of LEDS arranged with rows and columns on a circuit card or board. The lamp is constructed by encapsulating the board and LED arrangement in a moldable lens material, which after removal from a suitable mold at least partially defines the lamp housing.
