Light source having liquid encapsulant

A light-emitting device, comprising:

• a base;
• a die disposed on base;
• a liquid encapsulant encapsulating the die;
• a resilient cover configured to hold the liquid encapsulant, the resilient cover having a substantially dome shaped portion and a substantially flat portion;
• and
• an attachment member configured to secure the substantially flat portion of the resilient cover onto the base,
• wherein at least a portion of the resilient cover is stretchable so as to absorb size increment of the liquid encapsulant due to thermal expansion.

A lighting apparatus, comprising:

• a base, the base having a component side;
• a die disposed on the component side of the base;
• a resilient cover disposed on the component side of the base;
• a cavity defined therein between the resilient cover and the component side of the base;
• a liquid encapsulant disposed within the cavity encapsulating the die;
• and
• an attachment member configured to seal the resilient cover onto the component side of the base such that the liquid encapsulant is retained within cavity,
• wherein at least a portion of the resilient cover is stretchable so as to absorb size increment of the liquid encapsulant due to thermal expansion.
