Illumination Device Including Collimating Optics

A structure comprising:

• a light source emitting light having a first wavelength range;
• a wavelength converting element that receives the emitted light from the light source, the wavelength converting element at least partially converting the emitted light having a first wavelength range into light having a second wavelength range;
• and
• a plurality of members disposed proximate the wavelength converting member, such that the wavelength converting element is disposed between the members and the light source, wherein each of the plurality of members comprises a reflective sidewall configured to direct at least a portion of light exiting the wavelength converting element in a direction substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the wavelength converting element.

A structure comprising:

• a light source configured to emit light having a first peak wavelength;
• a wavelength converting element positioned in a path of light emitted from the light source, the wavelength converting element configured to absorb at least a portion of the light having a first peak wavelength and emit light having a second peak wavelength;
• and
• a plurality of collimating optics positioned such that the wavelength converting element is disposed between the plurality of collimating optics and the light source, wherein a bottom of each of the plurality of collimating optics comprises an opening and a reflective portion.
