1. A device, comprising:
- a housing having a base;
at least one planar substrate, each of said at least one planar substrate adapted to engage with said housing;
a first plurality of light sources mounted on and supported by one of said at least one planar substrate;
a second plurality of light sources mounted on and supported by one of said at least one planar substrate;
a lens, said lens positioned adjacent to said first plurality of light sources and said second plurality of light sources; and
a light directing member operatively secured to said housing and substantially under said lens, said light directing member directing light substantially in one direction along a longitudinal axis of said lamp, said light directing member comprised of a plurality of substantially vertical reflective elements, each corresponding to one of said first plurality of light sources and arranged within said lamp to reflect light emitted from said first plurality of light sources outward from said device and a plurality of substantially horizontal reflective elements, each also corresponding to one of said first plurality of light sources, said plurality of substantially vertical reflective elements arranged at an angle less than or substantially equal to ninety degrees relative to said plurality of substantially horizontal reflective elements.

Abstract
A lamp comprising a housing, at least one planar substrate supporting a plurality of light sources, and a light directing member comprising a plurality of reflective surfaces. Each of the reflective surfaces is generally parabolic and reflects light emitted from the plurality of light sources. A lamp comprising a housing, at least one planar substrate, a plurality of light sources supported by each planar substrate, a lens, and a light directing member that reflects light emitted from the plurality of light sources. The light directing member produces a light distribution pattern spanning substantially five degrees to substantially ninety degrees in one direction along the longitudinal axis of said lamp.

12. A lamp, comprising:
-
a housing, said housing comprised of a base; a first plurality of light sources; a first substantially planar substrate adapted to engage with said housing and disposed substantially parallel to said base, said first planar substrate supporting said first plurality of light sources; a second plurality of light sources; a second substantially planar substrate adapted to engage with said housing and disposed substantially parallel to said base, said second planar substrate supporting said second plurality of light sources; a light directing member secured to said base, said light directing member directing light emitted from said first plurality of light sources outward from said lamp in a light distribution pattern spanning approximately five degrees to approximately ninety degrees substantially in a rearward direction along a longitudinal axis of said lamp, said light directing member comprised of a plurality of substantially vertical reflective elements, each of said plurality of substantially vertical reflective elements corresponding to one of said first plurality of light sources and arranged within said lamp, and a plurality of substantially horizontal reflective elements, each of said plurality of substantially horizontal reflective elements also corresponding to one of said first plurality of light sources, said plurality of substantially vertical reflective elements arranged at an angle less than or substantially equal to ninety degrees relative to said plurality of substantially horizontal reflective elements; and a lens, said lens positioned adjacent to and substantially covering said first plurality of light sources, said second plurality of light sources, said first planar substrate, said second planar substrate, and said light directing member. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A combined side turn/marker lamp, comprising:
-
a housing, said housing having a base; a first planar substrate, said first planar substrate adapted to engage with said housing; a second planar substrate, said first planar substrate adapted to engage with said housing; a first plurality of LEDs disposed on said first planar substrate; a second plurality of LEDs disposed on said second planar substrate; a light directing member operatively secured to said housing and substantially under a lens, said light directing member comprised of a first plurality reflective elements and a second plurality of reflective elements, wherein said first plurality of reflective elements are disposed substantially vertical relative to said base, each of said first plurality of reflective elements corresponding to one of said first plurality of LEDS, and arranged within said lamp to reflect light emitted from said first plurality of light sources, and wherein each of said second plurality of reflective surfaces corresponds to one of said first plurality of light sources and extending substantially parallel to said base, and also arranged within said lamp to reflect light emitted from said first plurality of light sources, wherein said light directing member produces a light distribution pattern spanning approximately five degrees to approximately ninety degrees in a rearward direction along a longitudinal axis of said lamp; and said lens positioned adjacent to said plurality of light sources and having a plurality of Fresnel rings and a plurality of wedge optics, each of said plurality of Fresnel rings corresponding to one of said first plurality of LEDs, and said plurality of wedge optics to direct light in both said rearward direction and in a forward direction. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
