1. A light emitting assembly comprising:
a light emitting diode having first and second electrical contacts disposed along a bottom surface of the light emitting diode;
a lens disposed over a top surface and one or more side surfaces of the light emitting diode, wherein the lens extends along the bottom surface between the first and second electrical contacts; and
first and second electrical terminals connected with respective first and second electrical contacts along a portion of a top surface of each respective first and second electrical terminal, wherein the lens is interposed between and in contact with a portion of the top surface of the first and second electrical terminals and the bottom surface of the light emitting diode, wherein each of the first and second electrical terminals comprises a side surface that extends downwardly from the electrical terminal top surface to a bottom most surface of the electrical terminal, and wherein the side surfaces are entirely exposed.
