1. A method of fabricating a light source, the method comprising:

  • providing a predetermined number of sealed light engine modules (SLEMs), each SLEM comprising;

    a) a lamp including a lens and a body shell where the body shell is seated on a distal end of a base member and a socket cup is fitted to a proximal end of the base member and the lamp is sealed with a sealing ring that mates with the lens and body shell to substantially resist the ingress of contaminants;

    b) a light emitting diode (LED) module housed within the light chamber, wherein the LED module receives electrical excitation to convert the electrical excitation into light output;

    mounting the SLEMs to a support plate of a light assembly;

    slidably installing the light assembly into a base; and

    installing end caps onto the base to substantially contain an electrical interface of each of the mounted SLEMs.
