Claim of US Patent No. 10,551,011
1. A method for manufacturing a lighting assembly, comprising:soldering a light emitting diode element to top surfaces of a first portion and a second portion of a leadframe, forming solder joints therebetween; and
embedding at least a portion of the leadframe in an optically reflective and electrically insulating material such that the optically reflective and electrically insulating material covers all exposed portions of at least the top surfaces of both the first portion and the second portion of the lead frame, contacts the bottom surface of the first portion and the second portion of the leadframe, and fills a space between the first portion and the second portion of the leadframe.
