Polycarbonate (PC) – The Ideal Material for LED Lighting Applications

Polycarbonate (PC) is a high-performance thermoplastic widely used in LED lighting applications. Amid growing environmental concerns and increasing demand for energy efficiency, PC has emerged as an attractive choice for designers and manufacturers seeking durability, performance, and aesthetics.

With its exceptional properties, PC provides an ideal solution for those looking for longevity, efficiency, and design flexibility. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using PC in LED lighting applications and highlight notable projects that utilize this material.

 

What is a Polycarbonate Light Diffuser?

EXEET SHINELUX – With its ability to evenly diffuse light and a UV-protective coating, this material ensures that signboards, lightboxes, and other illuminated displays function optimally under various weather conditions. It enhances advertising structures and lighting applications by providing consistent brightness and durability.

Additionally, EXEET SHINELUX is manufactured according to international fire resistance standards, such as UL94V, meaning it does not sustain combustion. This significantly reduces the risk of fire hazards caused by electrical faults and other potential ignition sources.
