Led based pedestal-type lighting structure

A light emitting diode (LED) based bulb, comprising:

• an elongated pedestal with multiple surfaces;
• a plurality of LEDs, each of which can be mounted to one of said surfaces, said pedestal comprising a thermally conductive path to conduct heat away from said LEDs;
• and
• a diffuser arranged in relation to said LEDs so that light from said LEDs passes through said diffuser, with said diffuser modifying the emission pattern of said LEDs producing the desired bulb emission pattern.

A solid state lamp, comprising:

• a pedestal having a plurality of solid state light sources, wherein said pedestal at least partially comprises a thermally conductive material;
• a heat sink structure, said pedestal thermally coupled to said heat sink structure with heat from said solid state light sources conducting to said heat sink structure through said pedestal;
• and
• a remote phosphor thermally coupled to said heat sink structure with heat from said remote phosphor conducting into said heat sink structure.

A light emitting diode (LED) based bulb, comprising:

• a pedestal having a plurality of LEDs, wherein said pedestal at least partially comprises a thermally conductive material;
• a heat sink structure, said pedestal thermally coupled to said heat sink structure;
• and
• a remote phosphor arranged in relation to said LEDs so that at least some light from said LEDs pass through said remote phosphor and is converted to a different wavelength of light, wherein said bulb emits a white light combination of light from said LEDs and said remote phosphor.
