Top 5 Ways LED Lighting is Revolutionized with Tape Solutions
LED (light emitting diode) lighting offers energy efficiency, durability and extended service life. With urban modernization on the rise, it is no surprise that LEDs are transforming the world of illumination, lighting up building interiors and exteriors, highways, 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 revolutionize modern-day LED lighting.
“Our premium Norseal® Silicone Gasketing are developed and produced using a very efficient process, offering a very long shelf life, the ability to withstand 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 a great 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 offer long-lasting, dependable illumination.
Products such as our Norseal Silicone Gaskets provide superior sealing and dampening functionality in even the harshest environmental conditions. Within LED lighting, our gaskets are often employed between the bulbs and the case to provide cushioning and protection. They serve as a barrier from common environmental stressors including rain, snow, dust and sunlight.
Sponges are a sound choice for “always-on” applications, such as gas 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 services 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 labor time and replacement costs of damaged parts.
Our Norseal Silicone Gasketing Products deserve a lot 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 vital role in revolutionizing how we experience LED lighting.
