Elongated luminaire-housing form with cooling fins
Product form: elongated luminaire-housing form with cooling fins. Review fin layout and thermal contact faces.

Define the supplied condition, critical dimensions and acceptance plan in the drawing review. Published process references depend on material, geometry and the agreed order scope.

Designed Around the Lighting Assembly.

Heat transfer

Review LED mounting faces, fins and the thermal path through the housing.

Outdoor interfaces

Define seals, cable entries, brackets and corrosion-exposure conditions.

Appearance

Approve visible faces, surface texture, color samples and coating coverage.

Production route, manufacturing responsibility, available documentation and acceptance criteria are confirmed for the particular product and order.

Feature review

Connect the light source, heat path and outer housing.

The circular housing shows an internal mounting pad, an open optical face and a cable entry. Relate the light-source fixing pattern to the thermal contact surface and the clearance required by the optical assembly.

Specify the closure seal and bracket loads separately from visible-finish requirements. This lets the housing review follow the luminaire from its internal mounting face to the outdoor interfaces.

Typical Applications

  • Street and roadway lighting
  • Industrial high-bay luminaires
  • Outdoor floodlights
  • Architectural wall and area lights

Materials & Finishes

  • ADC12 / A380 for complex housings

  • UV-stable powder coating
  • Stainless inserts and hardware by specification

Frequently Asked Questions

Which alloy is best for outdoor lighting?

ADC12 is widely used for castability and cost. A360 or another corrosion-focused alloy may be selected when environmental durability is the priority.

Can thin cooling fins be die cast?

Yes within process limits. Fin height, spacing, thickness and draft are reviewed together to balance thermal area with reliable filling and die life.
