1. A lamp assembly including a housing, comprising:
- a support circuit board;
a plurality of light emitting diodes mounted to said circuit board;
an electrical connection attached to said circuit board and extending outwardly of said lamp assembly;
a mold in place lens formed from material flowable about and encapsulating the circuit board and light emitting diodes to provide a one piece solid body about said circuit board and light emitting diodes;
said solid body being formed into a predetermined shape defining said lamp assembly and lens, at least electrical leads of said electrical connection extending outwardly of said solid body to provide electrical connections for said lamp assembly, the housing and the lens being formed from the same material, the material defining the predetermined shape of the of the housing for the lamp assembly.

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.
