The materials of the LED light

1. Aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloy is the most commonly used material in LED lighting manufacturing. The aluminum alloy just bought back is in the form of aluminum ingots, and the objects that are pressed out after putting it into the die-casting machine are some common lamp structures, such as the radiator lamp body at the back of the lamp, the dough ring, and the lamp body directly cast out of the aluminum alloy. It has the advantages of light material, high strength and convenient processing, So many LED lighting and lanterns will be made of aluminum alloy.

2. Zinc alloy

However, the cost of aluminum alloy is relatively high, and some LED lighting with not so high demanding on material, they can be used by zinc alloys and its quality is slightly heavier, but the cost is relatively cheap. Therefore, products that are generally not particularly high grade (used in mid-range lamps) may be made of zinc alloy as raw materials, especially some small spare parts.

3. Steel plate

Steel is also a very commonly used material in lamps, its application range is wide, much cheaper than aluminum, plasticity is also very strong, so many need high-strength but do not need high-precision die casting, generally will use steel plate.

4. Plastic

Plastic is just a general term, it includes a lot of types, like the usual very common PC, PMMA, etc., it is a type of polymer, the prototype is rice-like particles, as a raw material into the injection molding machine, and then injection molded into the corresponding mold to press out a variety of colors of the surface, cover, shell.

The black plastic is often used to do some spare parts, covers, plates, etc. in the lamp, and even the overall LED lighting is made of plastic (colored plastic is used less in the LED lighting).

5. Mirror aluminum

Mirror aluminum materials are unique to the luminaire industry and are rarely used in other products.

The surface of this aluminum plate is as smooth and reflective as the mirror, so it is used to make reflectors, such as the reflector of the lamp plate, the reflective surface of the LED headlight, etc. are made of mirror aluminum.

6. Sand surface aluminum

In addition to the smooth mirror aluminum plate, there is also a type of rougher sand aluminum plate that is also used in lamps and lanterns. The roughness of this kind of sand aluminum plate can be light sand, can also be heavy sand, but also used as a reflector, its control of light is not as precise as mirror aluminum. The characteristics of sand surface aluminum are: the light is diffuse reflection to the surface in all directions; Sand-faced aluminum is used in many cases where only astigmatism is needed and no need for great precision.
