Vehicle signalling lamp has LEDs mounted obliquely to base of unit

摘要

Light emitting diodes are arranged on a mounting plate 2 to form the light unit 1 for a vehicle lamp. The base 3 of each diode is arranged perpendicularly to the direction of radiation 6 from the diode and obliquely inclined to the base level 21 of the mounting plate. Preferably the base of each diode protrudes into a cut-out 14 in the mounting plate with one contact leg 10 of the diode fixed in a hole in the mounting plate and the other leg 12 bent to mechanically hold the base of the diode against the mounting plate.
