Light emitter array
First Claim
1. A light emitting diode (LED) component, comprising:
- an array of LEDs comprising groups of first, second, and third LEDs, wherein no two of the first group LEDs are directly next to one another in said array;
wherein less than fifty percent (50%) of the LEDs in said first group of LEDs are on the perimeter of said array; and
a lens over at least a portion of said array, said lens at least partially surrounding said array on at least two sides;
wherein each of said first, second, and third groups of LEDs are connected in respective serial strings.

Abstract
Lamps, luminaries or solid state lighting components are disclosed having multiple discrete light sources whose light combines to provide the desired emission characteristics. The discrete light sources are arranged in an array pursuant to certain guidelines to promote mixing of light from light sources emitting different colors of light. One embodiment solid state lighting component comprises a light emitting diode (LED) component having an array of LED chips having a first group of LED chips and one or more additional groups of LED chips. The array is arranged so that no two LED chips from said first group are directly next to one another in the array, that less than fifty percent (50%) of the LED chips in the first group of LEDs is on the perimeter of the array, and at least three LED chips from the one or more additional groups is adjacent each of the LED chips in the first group.
