1. A light emitting diode (LED) package comprising:
- a first LED sub-assembly comprising a first LED die, a first reflector having a first principal axis, and a first lens;
a second LED sub-assembly comprising a second LED die, a second reflector having a second principal axis, and a second lens; and
a common lead frame;
wherein the first LED sub-assembly and the second LED sub-assembly are mounted to the common lead frame; and
wherein the first LED sub-assembly is adapted to emit a first beam centered in a first direction, and the second LED sub-assembly is adapted to emit a second beam centered in a second direction that is different from the first direction, wherein the second direction is non-parallel to the first direction.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a single light emitting diode lamp package includes at least two light emitting devices that can be switched independently of one another and thus may be useful in vehicular lighting applications, for example low and high beam headlights. In another embodiment, a LED device includes a first LED die and at least one additional LED die disposed at different positions within a common reflector cup. Multiple LED sub-assemblies may be mounted to a common lead frame along non-coincident principal axes. Methods for varying intensity or color from multi-LED lamps are further provided.
