Aluminum Lighting Fixtures

Lighting fixtures used to be manufactured by welding numerous pieces together. This process is costly, time consuming, and labor intensive. It also limits the production of creative and innovative lighting fixtures with different shapes. The introduction of aluminum die casting paved the way to a less costly and faster way of manufacturing lighting fixtures in numerous sizes and shapes.

Aluminum lighting fixtures have been around for many years. They can be produced net shape, meaning there are no welding or drilling methods required after. Thus, lighting fixtures with different sizes and shapes can be manufactured easily. They have good thermal properties. Since aluminum is lighter than steel, the shipping of these products would cost less.

Another advantage of aluminum lighting fixtures is the fact that plastic lighting fixtures do not last as long as those die cast in aluminum, which are electrically conductive. Aluminum lighting fixtures can also be powder coated easily to make them more attractive.

Die casting is a die casting process wherein molten metal is forced into mold cavities. This process is applicable and beneficial if you are producing large quantities of small to medium sized parts with good details. Aluminum parts made by a die casting company are produced in a faster rate with less labor, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand small parts daily. They also weigh less than steel fabricated products.

Aluminum lighting fixtures are used as housings for parking garage lights, bullet light fixtures, outdoor lights, parking garage lights, high temperature lightings, parking lights and many more. The ends of light fixtures are also made with aluminum.
