Abstract
A light source having a rigid substrate, a first LED, and a flexible reflector housing is disclosed. The rigid substrate has a first surface having a plurality of electrical traces formed thereon, the first LED die being disposed on the first surface and connected to two of the electrical traces. The rigid substrate also includes a plurality of external electrical connections for accessing the electrical traces. The reflector housing includes a layer of flexible material having at least one cavity extending through the layer of flexible material. The layer of flexible material is bonded to the first surface such that the cavity overlies the first LED die. The cavity has walls that reflect light generated in the first LED die. The first die can be encapsulated in a layer of silicone encapsulant. The reflector can likewise be constructed from silicone.
