Die Cast – ADC12
We use ADC12 aluminum alloy for all of our die-cast housings. This alloy offers the best combination of casting, mechanical, and thermal properties. It is highly fluid, resistant to pressure and hot cracking, and easy to machine. In some cases, we may need to apply additional machining processes for custom orders or features that cannot be produced through the die-casting process.
Sheet Metal -AL1060
Our canopy products are made from AL 1060 sheet metal, which is an aluminum alloy with a low copper content. We are one of the few manufacturers who use aluminum sheet metal for housings because of its unique thermal properties and corrosion resistance. While die-cast aluminum may be cheaper, it does not have the same thermal conductivity or corrosion resistance as aluminum sheet metal. The flatness of AL 1060 sheet metal, which is less than 10 microns, also helps our LED light engines transfer heat efficiently. With a corrosion resistance of only 0.05% copper, AL 1060 sheet metal is highly resistant to corrosion.

eLuminaire eCote and SeaGard finishing
Harsh conditions for lighting fixtures can be as common as industrial plants applications, parking garages with fumes and residue from automobile fuel, to marine and aviation environments. eLuminaire has combined several process and techniques coupled with dogged Quality Control to insure long lasting reliability and architectural appearance.
Our ground-up technology starts with copper free alloys to minimize any opportunity for corrosion. A 10 stage substrate Hard Anodizing of its aluminum products provides complete interior and exterior protection followed by an application of a thermoset TGIC (triglycidyl isocyanurate) for adhesion and color fast protection for many years in any application. Frequent and independent batch testing are an integral and necessary part of our eCote and SeaGard Finishes.
