Abstract
Light emitter components, systems, and related methods having improved optical efficiency and a lower manufacturing cost are disclosed. In one aspect, a light emitter component can include a substrate having an elongated body and first and second ends. At least a first trace and a second trace can be provided on the substrate. In some aspects, the first trace can be disposed proximate the first end of the substrate and the second trace can be disposed proximate the second end of the substrate, with no other portion of the first trace or second trace being disposed between the first and second ends of the substrate. In some aspects, a string of LED chips can be provided on the substrate. The string of LED chips can be disposed between the first and second ends of the substrate. Angled traces, gaps and light emitter components can also be provided in some aspects.
