First Claim
Patent Images
1. A lamp comprising:
- a heat conductive post having a base and a top and plural wireways extending axially through said post from the base to the top;
a head on the top of said post, said head having plural light-emitting diode (LED) assemblies mounted thereon;
a circuit board for said LED assemblies at the base of said post; and
plural electrical leads that are insulated from each other and that each extend through a different one of said wireways and whose ends emerge from the base and the top, said leads being connected to respective ones of said LED assemblies and to said circuit board.

Abstract
An LED lamp and a method of making an LED lamp in which the lamp includes a heat conductive post with a base and a top, an insulative body within the post that includes plural wireways and plural electrical leads that each extend through a different one of the wireways and whose ends emerge from the top and the base of the post, a head with plural LED assemblies on the top of the post, and a circuit board for the LED assemblies at the base of the post, the leads being connected to respective LED assemblies and to the circuit board. During manufacture, the leads are mounted in the wireways of the insulative body and the assembled body is inserted into the post.
