Low profile lighting module

A light emitting device module, comprising:

• a mount surface;
• at plurality of light emitting diode (LED) packages on said mount surface configured to emit a portion of light in a lateral direction;
• a diffuser over said at least one LED packages;
• wherein the ratio of the distance between each of said LED packages to the distance from said mount surface to said diffuser is 2:1 or greater.

A light emitting device module, comprising:

• a housing comprising a reflective back surface and an open end;
• a plurality of LEDs on said back surface;
• a primary optic on each of said LEDs, said primary optic shaped to spread a portion of the light emitted from said at least one LED in a lateral direction;
• and
• a secondary optic at said housing open end such that substantially all the light emitted from said LEDs interacts with said secondary optic before exiting said light emitting device module.

A light emitting device, comprising:

• an elongated housing having a length and comprising a reflective back surface;
• a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) on said back surface;
• a primary optic on each of said LEDs, said primary optics shaped to spread a portion of the light emitted from said LEDs along the length of said housing;
• and
• diffuser element arranged to interact with light emitted from said LEDs and said primary optics.
