1060 Aluminum circle for street lighting reflector

Title

Street light reflectors made from 1060 aluminum circles are high-performance reflective components manufactured from 1060 pure aluminum. They are produced through hot or cold rolling, deep drawing, and polishing processes to achieve precise shape and superior surface finish. 1060 aluminum belongs to the 1000 series of high-purity aluminum (Al content ≥99.6%) and is well-known for its excellent ductility, corrosion resistance, machinability, and surface smoothness.

As a key component of street lights, reflectors are primarily designed to concentrate light, improve luminous efficiency, save energy, and ensure the durability and aesthetic appeal of the street light. Due to its outstanding physical properties and excellent formability, 1060 lampshade aluminum discs are the preferred material for manufacturing high-reflectivity street light reflectors.

Surface Treatment Options for Lampshade Aluminum Circles

Polishing
Produces a high surface finish that directly reflects light, significantly improving luminous efficiency.

Anodizing
Enhances corrosion resistance and forms a natural protective oxide layer, extending reflector lifespan.

Electroplating or Coating
Can provide special optical effects, such as silver plating or wear-resistant coatings, improving durability.

Brushed or Textured Finishes
Adjusts light reflection direction or improves visual aesthetics according to design requirements.

Why Choose 1060 Aluminum Circles for Street Lights?

High Light Reflection Efficiency
With precision polishing or anodizing, reflectivity can reach 85%-95%, significantly enhancing luminous efficiency.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Aluminum naturally forms an oxide layer that resists humidity, rain, and environmental corrosion, prolonging service life.
Lightweight Design
Low density reduces the overall weight of the fixture, making installation and maintenance easier while reducing stress on lamp poles.
Easy to Form and Process
Can be deep-drawn, stamped, or bent into various reflector shapes to suit different street light designs.
Weather Resistance and Eco-Friendly
Non-toxic and fully recyclable material, ideal for outdoor road lighting and urban environments.

FAQ

Q1: Are 1060 aluminum circles suitable for all street lights?
A: They are suitable for most LED street lights, road lighting, and garden lights, but diameter and thickness should be customized according to the fixture size.

Q2: Are the reflectors prone to oxidation?
A: 1060 aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer. Combined with anodizing or polishing, it maintains a bright surface for a long time without rusting.

Q3: Can the diameter and thickness be customized?
A: Yes, fully customizable. Thickness ranges from 0.2mm to 1.0mm, and diameter can be tailored to customer requirements.

Q4: What is the reflectivity of the reflectors?
A: With high-gloss polishing or anodizing, reflectivity can reach 85%-95%.
