Abstract
A lamp base that fits into an incandescent lamp holder and accepts an LED support structure onto which LEDs can be mounted. A driver preferably in the lamp base provides power through a connector to the LEDs. Different LED support structures can be inserted and removed from the lamp base to customize the LED lamp. In some embodiments, customized lamp covers can be installed over the LEDs. In some embodiments, the LEDs are pre-mounted on the LED support structures. In some embodiments, the LED support structure can be cut to a desired length. In some embodiments, the pre-mounted LEDs are on a chain that is configured to be terminated when the LED support structure is cut to the desired length. In other embodiments, the LED chain is cut to length and then mounted on the LED support structure that is cut to length.
