ABSTRACT:
An integrated lighting assembly (10) includes an injection molded housing that has a base (12) with first fastening elements (22) molded thereon, a cover (18) with second fastening elements (24) molded thereon, and a substrate (16) intermediate the base and cover. An electrical circuit (30) is formed on the substrate and a lighting element (32) is attached to the electrical circuit. A reflective cone (34, 36) surrounds the lighting element to intensify its light and direct light through a diffuser lens (28) formed on the base. A reflective wall (26) on the base reflects light emanating from the diffuser lens in a predetermined pattern. Metal for the reflective surface and electrical circuit is deposited in a single operation. The base and cover are connected to the substrate by living hinges. When the cover is folded onto the base, the first and second fastening elements snap together to form a three dimensional lighting assembly.
