Lights made of anodized aluminum generally require very little maintenance, even when used daily. However, after a while it can happen that the lamp housing fades due to dust and dirt - the lamp needs to be cleaned.
In order not to damage the natural protective layer and the aluminum during cleaning and to restore the elegant look, we have put together some cleaning tips for LED lights for you:
DOS
- Care interval 1-2 times a year – To ensure that your RMD workstation lamp still looks like new even after years, we recommend cleaning and maintaining the lamp 1-2 times a year.
- Unplugging - Be sure to unplug the light before cleaning, whether dry or wet, to avoid electric shock.
- Soft Cloth or Sponge – Use a soft cloth or sponge for wet and dry cleaning.
- Clear water for light dirt – For light dirt and dust, in most cases simply cleaning the LED light with clear water is sufficient.
- PH-neutral cleaning agent without chlorine - For more stubborn dirt, you should use pH-neutral, chlorine-free soaps with a pH value between 5 and 8. It is important to rinse with clear water after cleaning.
- Special cleaner for very heavy soiling – Special cleaners for anodized aluminum profiles help with particularly stubborn dirt such as oil, grease or plastic residue. When using, however, be sure to pay attention to the exposure time of the products and don't forget to rinse with clear water. Modern & Innovative Design
- Final care – Finally, care sprays or beeswax can be used to achieve a particularly silky matt look.
DONT'S
- Chemical cleaning agents and acids – Chemical cleaning agents or acids can attack the surface of the aluminum, causing unwanted and unsightly stains.
- Scratching sponges or abrasive substances – Even if the surface of our lights is particularly hard and scratch-resistant, you should definitely avoid scratching sponges or abrasive substances. You can damage the protective layer of the case.
- Exceed the maximum exposure time – When using special cleaners, the recommended exposure time should be observed. In principle, the cleaner should never last longer than an hour.
Follow these simple cleaning tips for LED lights and your light will shine for a long time 😉
