1. A light source (10) comprising:
- a light engine (16) for generating light of one of a plurality of wavelengths, the light engine (16) including;
a platform (14), and at least one LED (12) disposed on the platform (14);
an enclosure (22) surrounding a light generating area of the light engine (16);
a base (24) including a heat sink (26) for conducting thermal energy away from the at least one LED (12), into which heat sink (26) the light engine (16) is mounted; and
a conversion circuit (30) for supplying electric power to the light engine (16).

Abstract
A light source (10) comprises a light engine (16), a base (24), a power conversion circuit (30) and an enclosure (22). The light engine (16) comprises at least one LED (12) disposed on a platform (14). The platform (14) is adapted to directly mate with the base (24) which a standard incandescent bulb light base. Phosphor (44) receives the light generated by the at least one LED (12) and converts it to visible light. The enclosure (22) has a shape of a standard incandescent lamp.

23. A modular adaptable LED lighting system (10) comprising:
-
a screw base module (24);
at least two light modules (16) having different light emission characteristics, each light module (16) including;
a platform (14) which is adapted for mating with the base module (24), and at least one LED (12) disposed on the platform (14) for generating light in a range from ultraviolet to infrared wavelenthgs;
an enclosure (22), which surrounds the light produced by the light module (16) such that at least a portion of the light is transmitted through the enclosure (22); and
a power module (30) for energizing the at least one LED (12).
