A collimator (20) for use as part of a LED package (10) is provided, comprising a collimator body (28) adapted to collect and/or reflect and/or focus light, an upper plane (30) provided by the collimator body (28), wherein the upper plane (30) defines a mainly horizontal plane (32), at least one reflection surface (36) provided by the collimator body (28), wherein the reflection surface (36) is at least partially angled to the horizontal plane (32) by an angleα, which is 70°≰α≰110°, particularly 75°≰α≰100°, preferably 78°≰α≰92°, most preferred 79°≰α≰85°, wherein the collimator body (28) comprises a recess (34) for receiving a lighting element (14) comprising a light emitting front face (22) illuminated by a LED (40), wherein the lighting element (24) is received such by the recess (34) that the reflection surface (36) extends at least partially below the level of the front face (22) in assembled state. Due to the specific angleαof the reflection surface (36) with respect to the horizontal plane (32) of the collimator body (28) a small light source and a high luminous flux at the same time are provided so that the luminance and the brightness of the LED package (10) are increased.
