Lamp with a truncated reflector cup

A lamp assembly comprising:

• first and second truncated reflector cups, the first truncated reflector cup having a first reflector cup side surface intersecting first and second associated end surfaces, and the second truncated reflector cup having a second truncated reflector cup side surface intersecting first and second associated end surfaces;
• a first base plate and a second base plate, each disposed between the first truncated reflector cup side surface and the second truncated reflector cup side surface, wherein each base plate comprises a top surface and a rear surface, wherein the top surface of at least one base plate is reflective and is configured to reflect light incident thereon, and wherein the rear surface of the first base plate and the rear surface of the second base plate are positioned in contact with each other;
• and
• at least one light engine disposed on the top surface of at least one base plate, the light engine comprising at least one light emitting diode having an emitting surface positioned to emit light toward the first truncated reflector cup, the first reflector cup side surface being in a plane positioned closer to the emitting surface than the top surface of the at least one base plate.

A method of assembling a lamp comprising:

• providing first and second truncated reflector cups;
• positioning a first base plate and a second base plate between the first and second truncated reflector cups, wherein each base plate comprises a top surface and a rear surface, such that the rear surface of the first base plate and the rear surface of the second base plate are positioned in contact with each other;
• and
• providing a light engine on the top surface of at least one base plate, the light engine configured to emit light to be reflected by one of the first and second truncated reflector cups.
