The LED lamp includes an antenna on the lens of the LED lamp and is embedded in a raised section of lens material. Locating the antenna in the raised section of lens material allows the LED lamp to be controlled by a stronger control signal from the LED lighting control device at greater distances (e.g., typically greater than ten feet) and does not detract from the aesthetic appeal of the LED lamp. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A light emitting diode (LED) lamp comprising: a lamp housing including a body portion and a lens; at least one LED emitter secured within the lamp housing; electrical circuitry secured within the lamp housing and electrically coupled to the at least one LED emitter; and an antenna that is electrically coupled to the electrical circuitry, wherein at least a portion of the antenna is positioned adjacent the lens. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in the lens. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lens includes a rib that extends at least partly across the lens and wherein at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in the rib. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rib substantially bisects the lens. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the antenna traverses most of the lens. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lens and the body portion are separate elements and the lens is attached to the body portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lens and the body portion are separate elements and the lens is attached to the body portion with a fastener-free snap-fit. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lens and the body portion are separate elements and the lens is secured to the body portion with a barbed tab formed on either the lens or the body portion. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the antenna comprises a Bluetooth antenna. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 1 wherein the antenna comprises a dipole antenna. ### Claim 11 A light emitting diode (LED) lamp comprising: a housing comprising a lens; an LED disposed inside of the housing; electrical circuitry electrically coupled to the LED; and an antenna that is electrically coupled to the electrical circuitry, wherein at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in the lens. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The LED lamp of claim 11, wherein said at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in a raised portion of the lens. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 11 wherein the lens and the body portion are separate elements and the lens is attached to the body portion. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 11 wherein the lens and the body portion are separate elements and the lens is attached to the body portion with a fastener-free snap-fit. ### Claim 15 An LED lighting system comprising: a plurality of LED lamps, the LED lamps comprising a housing having a lens, an LED emitter, electrical circuitry, and an antenna coupled to the circuitry and positioned adjacent the lens; and a wireless controller comprising a controller housing, controller circuitry including a Bluetooth wireless transmitter, and a user interface, and wherein the controller circuitry is operative for sending Bluetooth signals from the wireless controller to the antennas in the LED lamps to effect remote, wireless control of the LED lamps from the wireless controller. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) An LED lighting system as claimed in claim 15 wherein at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in the lens. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) An LED lighting system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the lens includes a rib that extends at least partly across the lens and wherein at least a portion of the antenna is embedded in the rib. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) An LED lighting system as claimed in claim 15 wherein the antenna traverses most of the lens. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 15 wherein housing includes a body portion and the lens and the body portion are separate elements and the lens is attached to the body portion. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) An LED lamp as claimed in claim 19 wherein the lens is attached to the body portion with a fastener-free snap-fit.
