Advantages of a naturally anodised luminaire housing?

What is natural anodized?

anodizingAlso Anodizing process or anodic oxidation known, refers to a widespread process for the surface treatment of aluminum.

How does the anodizing process work?

1. 1. Pretreatment: Before the actual anodizing, the aluminum profile is pretreated with mechanical or chemical processes and carefully cleaned.
   2. Anodic oxidation/anodizing: An electrochemical process is then used to form a natural oxidation layer of 5 to 25 microns on the aluminum profile. The aluminum is immersed in an acid bath and electrified. The special feature of the anodizing process is that, in contrast to other manufacturing processes, no layer is applied or removed from the workpiece, but the natural oxidation layer is built up on the aluminum.
   3. Sealing: In the last step of the anodizing process, the surface of the aluminum is usually sealed using hot water or steam.
   4. (Optional) Coloring: If a special color is required, the still porous oxidation layer is electrolytically colored or varnished.

What are the advantages of anodizing aluminium?

In addition to improved aluminum durability and durability and a more refined appearance, anodic oxidation brings a number of other benefits, including:

• • Low maintenance
  • No electrical conductivity
  • Hard and scratch-resistant surface
  • Corrosion and weather resistant
  • No color chipping

Why do we use naturally anodized aluminum for our lights?

The aim is to offer our customers visually appealing and above all of high quality shine with long lifespan to offer. But LED modules with a service life of more than 50.000 hours alone are not enough if they are not sufficiently protected by the luminaire housing and fail prematurely. That's why we mainly use naturally anodized aluminum for the housing of our lights. Just at Umgang with sharpen or sharp objects protects the hardened and scratch-resistant surface the naturally anodised luminaire housing reliably protects the LED modules from damage. In addition, the improved surface protection and the low maintenance to ensure the longevity of our lights.
