LOW PROFILE FLEXIBLE CABLE LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of making a cable lighting assembly, said method comprising providing a flexible electrical cable (47) comprising an electrical conductor (45) insulated by electrical insulation; providing a light emitting diode (43) comprising a light emitting die mounted on a heat slug (53) and electrically connected to an anode lead (55) and a cathode lead (57); said method further comprising removing a portion of the electrical insulation to expose at least one surface mounting area on the surface of the electrical conductor (45) of the flexible electrical cable (47), soldering the heat slug (53) of the light emitting diode (3) to the mounting area of the conductor (45) on which either the anode lead (55) or the cathode lead (57) is soldered.
