Abstract
The present invention relates to a lens for use with a lamp having at least one LED light source. The lens preferably includes a plurality of projections each having a substantially flat top surface and a plurality of sloping side surfaces, preferably suitable for dispersing the emitted light. Such a variance in light emission may enhance the light being viewed from different angles and positions therefrom.

A lens mountable to a light source having one or more LEDs, the lens comprising a base that is positioned at an angle that is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of each LED and one or more projections aligned with the optical axis of each LED and facing away from the LED, wherein each projection has a flat top surface that is substantially parallel to the base, and a plurality of sloping side surfaces which are arranged at an angle to the base to form a substantially trapezoidal cross section and can disperse light emitted from the one or more LEDs, to permit the light to be seen at various angles from the light source in addition to being viewed along the optical axis of the LED.
