Short answer: LED lighting uses aluminium 6063 heatsinks and housings for light weight and heat removal, die-cast aluminium and steel brackets for rigid mounting, anodised aluminium or stainless reflectors for clean reflection, and copper or brass connectors for conductivity, all chosen for thermal performance, weight and corrosion resistance in indoor and outdoor luminaires.
At a Glance
What LED Lighting Needs
Heat removal and weight lead the choice, with the basis in our Metal Strength Comparison and expansion notes in our Thermal Expansion Guide; electronics context is in our Electronics Guide.
Housings and Heatsinks
Housings use aluminium and die-cast alloy and sinks use 6063 for conduction, with the aluminium basis in our Aluminium Supplier and copper basis in our Copper Supplier; data-center context is in our Data Center Guide.
Finish and Coating
Reflectors are anodised and housings coated for weather, with methods in our Anodizing vs Powder Coating Guide and surface care in our Surface Treatment Guide; corrosion care is in our Corrosion Protection Guide.
Quality and Sourcing
Luminaire metal is checked by inspection, with methods in our Quality Inspection Guide; buyers confirm grade via our Mill Test Certificate Guide and pack per our Export Packing Guide.
