FLEXIBLE LIGHTING ELEMENT CIRCUIT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

An apparatus and method for forming a conical or domed ring light (20) having a plurality of light sources (36) arranged at a desired angle with respect to the optical axis. The light sources are installed at desired locations on a first surface of the flexible circuit board (22) and are each coupled to a common electrical connector (37), having one or a plurality of power sources, to facilitate supplying electrical power to each one of the light sources. The circuit board is then folded into a conical or domed configuration (39), with the light sources facing inward, and each abutted end and lateral surfaces of the folded circuit board is suitably secured or fastened to one another to permanently retain the flexible circuit board in its folded state.
