Silicone Solutions for LED Lighting Systems
Silicone rubber can be used in a number of lighting applications due to its unmoving and flexible properties. With many lighting systems switching to LED for energy saving benefits, designers need to consider the high heat that is often generated from the diodes.
With silicone able to withstand high temperatures up to 230°C, the switch to silicone as a sealing material has increased in demand. Below details just some of the more ordinary uses for Silicone Engineering’s grades in the LED Lighting sector.
Failing to pick the appropriate securing product typically causes failing in application. This is generally brought on by water, wetness or dirt access within electric units triggering downtime and also fixing prices. Consequently, it is important to evaluate as well as picked the proper products to make sure failing is cured.
Why Use Silicone Rubber?
Silicone rubber excels at high temperatures and provides excellent sealing properties for LED lighting systems and electrical enclosure that are out to outdoor situation. Due to silicone’s extreme temperature resistance, chemical stability and low density set, it is the material of choice in many LED lighting applications as it performs contentedly with high heat generated from the diodes.
Silicone also has excellent environmental resistance allowing for use in outdoor applications where protection from weathering is critical for performance.
When to Select Silicone Rubber?
Silicone rubber succeeds at heats and also offers superb securing residential or commercial properties for LED lights systems and also electric units that are subjected to outside problems.
As a result of silicones severe temperature level resistance, chemical security and also reduced compression collection, it is the product of selection in several LED illumination applications as it executes easily with high warmth produced from the diodes. Silicone likewise has outstanding ecological resistance enabling usage in outside applications where defense from weather is important for efficiency.
