Top 5 Ways LED Lighting is Revolutionised with Tape Solutions
LED (light-emitting diode) lighting offers energy efficiency, durability and an extended service life. With urban modernisation on the rise, it is no surprise that LEDs are transforming the world of illumination, lighting up building interiors and exteriors, motorways, parks and other public spaces. Behind the scenes, foams and tapes play a vital role in advancing LED lighting solutions.
Let’s explore the indispensable ways tape solutions revolutionise modern-day LED lighting.
“Our premium Norseal® Silicone Gasketing is developed and produced using a highly efficient process, offering an extended shelf life, the ability to endure extreme temperatures, with a focus on a more sustainable world.”
— Diana Buckley, Senior Product Manager, Silicones/CHR®
As the heroes working behind the scenes, Norseal® SNS Tapes ensure a secure bond between LED components and surfaces. Our Norseal SNS Tapes and silicone gasketing materials are an excellent go-to product for this type of application. Whether for adhesion to metals, plastic or curved surfaces, these tapes have a strong grip, allowing LED fixtures to remain firmly in place and provide long-lasting, reliable illumination.
Products such as our Norseal Silicone Gaskets provide superior sealing and dampening functionality even in the harshest environmental conditions. Within LED lighting, our gaskets are often used between the bulbs and the casing to provide cushioning and protection. They act as a barrier against common environmental stressors, including rain, snow, dust, and sunlight.
Sponges are a sound choice for “always-on” applications, such as petrol station lighting due to their thermal stability. Thermally conductive sponges such as our ThermaCool® R10404 are key to overcoming the challenge of heat dissipation in LED lighting. These sponges can transfer heat away from LEDs and prevent overheating to maintain the best performance, allowing the LEDs to shine brighter and last longer.
Our SNS tapes provide the flexibility to conform to irregular surfaces and shapes. These tapes can mount diffusers, lenses and optical films onto LED modules, enabling even light dispersion and creating visually appealing lighting effects. SNS tapes can also reduce overall lighting structure costs when used in place of expensive die-cut parts.
SNS tapes such as SNS 512AF or 520AF are easy to apply. In comparison to more traditional mounting methods such as screws or clips, these tapes are user-friendly, flexible solutions that allow for hassle-free application and removal during maintenance or upgrades, leaving behind no unsightly marks. This reduces both labour time and replacement costs of damaged parts.
Our Norseal Silicone Gasketing Products deserve a great deal of credit for their behind-the-scenes contributions to the success of LED lighting technology. With weather-resistant properties, the ability to provide secure bonding, efficient heat management, simplified installation and seamless aesthetics, Norseal Silicone Gaskets play a crucial role in revolutionising how we experience LED lighting.
