A light emitting device (1), and a method for manufacturing it are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of, in the order mentioned: providing at least one substrate (3) and at least one solid state light source (21, 22, 23), arranging the at least one solid state light source on the at least one substrate, providing a light guide (4) comprising a light input surface (41) and a light exit surface (42) extending in an angle different from zero to one another, shaping the light guide (4) to provide at least one cavity (91, 92, 93) in the light input surface (41) which is shaped such that it can accommodate the at least one solid state light source (21, 22, 23), mounting the at least one substrate with the at least one solid state light source arranged thereon onto the light guide and accommodating the at least one solid state light source (21, 22, 23) in the at least one cavity (91, 92, 93) such that the at least one solid state light source is at least partly embedded in the light guide to form a light emitting device body (501), and encapsulating the light emitting device body (501) partially in an envelope (85) such that the light emitting device body and the envelope are in physical contact to form a light emitting device (1) and such that the light exit surface of the light guide forms part of an outer surface of the light emitting device. |
