A lamp assembly with an integrated Light Emitting Diode support frame is described.
An electrically conductive lead frame is encapsulated in between the interior and
exterior surfaces of a lamp housing. Surface mounted LED light sources and associated
drive components are attached to the lead frame, and thus to the housing. A positive
terminal and a negative terminal are formed from the lead frame on the inside to
the outside of the housing, so that electricity may be transmitted from an external
source to the LED light sources on the inside of the housing. The LED light sources
are energized by the conductive lead frame formed into or onto the housing, thus
eliminating the need for a separate printed circuit board with a conductive lead frame.
