💡 Lightning

In LED lighting, aluminum is a superior material for several components, including:

  • Heat sinks: LED lights generate heat that must be dissipated to maintain performance and extend the lifespan of the LED components. Aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, and heat sinks made from aluminum alloy are widely used in LED bulbs and fixtures to manage thermal stress.
  • Profiles and channels: Extruded aluminum profiles are used to house and protect LED strip lights, concealing wiring and providing a clean, aesthetic finish. These profiles also feature diffusers that help spread the light evenly.
  • Housings: Because it is lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion, aluminum is used for the bodies and frames of many high-performance lighting fixtures, including outdoor streetlights.
  • Reflectors: Aluminum’s reflective properties are utilized to produce shades and reflectors that direct and distribute light.
