1. A light emitting diode comprising:

  • at least one LED assembly having;

    a) an enclosure having first and second opposing faces and a light focusing portion formed on the first opposing face, the enclosure being made from a light emitting material;

    b) a support member having a bowl formed at a first end and a single flat heat dissipation plate without fins formed at a second end, the bowl being positioned within the enclosure with the support member extending outwardly through the second opposing face, the heat dissipation plate being spaced apart from the enclosure by the support member, the support member and the heat dissipation plate being perpendicular to the second opposing face;

    c) a first terminal and a second terminal extending through and being perpendicular to the second opposing face for connecting to a power supply, the support member, the heat dissipation plate, the first terminal and the second terminal extend from the second opposing face of the enclosure in a common direction, each terminal being made of conductive material; and

    d) a chip connected to the bowl, the chip being electrically connected to the first terminal and the second terminal.
