Self-supporting filament light emitting diode light engine lamp assembly

A lamp comprising:

• a housing including a light projecting end and a base having an electrical connector for connection with a lamp fixture;
• and
• a light engine positioned within the housing to project light through the light projecting end, the light engine comprising an anode supporting base contact, a cathode supporting base contact, and a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filament structures, wherein the plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filament structures include a substrate supporting light emitting diodes (LEDs) positioned between an anode portion and a cathode portion, the anode and cathode portions being provided by a frame assembly portion for the plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filaments structures, the frame assembly portion having an opening therethrough for at least one of the plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filaments structures and the frame assembly portion having a width greater than the substrate supporting LEDs, wherein the plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filament structures are each directly connected to one another through their respective frame assembly portion at a common apex interface in a fixed position at a first end of the light emitting diode (LED) light engine, the anode portion of at least one of the plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filaments structures being connected to the anode supporting base contact at a second end of the light emitting diode (LED) light engine, and the cathode portion of at least one of the plurality of light emitting diode (LED) filaments structures being connected to the cathode supporting base contact at the second end of the light emitting diode (LED) light engine.
