1. A method of maintaining the mechanical and electrical integrity of a light emitting diode (LED) lamp, the method comprising:
- providing an LED lamp with at least one LED and associated exposed energizable electrical components contained within an optically transmissive, frangible enclosure;
applying a liquid visible light transparent dielectric coating directly on at least a portion of the exposed energizable components, wherein the visible light transparent dielectric coating extends onto a surface of the optically transmissive enclosure;
curing the visible light transparent dielectric coating deposited on the exposed energizable components; and
maintaining the mechanical and electrical integrity of the LED lamp upon breach of the frangible enclosure.
