Clear Polycarbonate Diffuser & ABS Housing Emergency Light What are the advantages of clear polycarbonate diffusers?

Clear Polycarbonate Diffuser & ABS Housing Emergency Light is a type of emergency lighting equipment widely used in industrial and commercial environments. One of its core parts is a clear polycarbonate diffuser. The clear polycarbonate diffuser plays a vital role in light distribution in the design and also gives the emergency light several practical advantages.

1. High light transmittance and light diffusion performance
Polycarbonate has become one of the preferred materials for diffusers due to its high light transmittance. Light transmittance refers to the degree to which a material allows light to pass through. Polycarbonate has a light transmittance of over 90%, which is almost close to that of glass. This feature allows light from the light source to be efficiently propagated through the diffuser without significantly reducing the light intensity due to obstruction by the material.
Even light distribution: Polycarbonate diffusers don’t just let the light source pass through, they disperse it effectively. The light source of emergency lights is usually LED. Since the LED beam is usually concentrated, the polycarbonate diffuser can evenly distribute the light to a wider area, ensuring uniform and bright lighting for users in emergency situations. This is especially important in dark environments to avoid blind spots where light is concentrated and help people evacuate more safely.

2. Excellent impact resistance
Polycarbonate is a very strong material with extremely high impact resistance, 250 times that of ordinary glass and about 30 times that of other plastics. Such impact resistance makes it extremely suitable for emergency lighting applications, especially in industrial or crowded places, such as workshops, warehouses, public buildings, etc.
Prevent damage: In emergencies or during daily use, lamps may be subject to collisions or external impacts. The impact resistance of the transparent polycarbonate diffuser can effectively prevent lamp damage, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure that the lamp will not be damaged by external forces and lose its lighting function at critical moments.

3. Light and easy to install
Compared to glass, polycarbonate is much lighter in density, about half the weight of glass. The lightweight feature reduces the total weight of the emergency lighting, making it more convenient to install and maintain. This is especially important for emergency lights installed on ceilings or high walls, which can reduce the labor intensity during installation and reduce the load on the building.
Easy to transport and operate: Due to the lightweight nature of the material, it is not only easy to transport and install, but also reduces the physical load on the installation location, which is very beneficial for sites that require frequent installation and replacement.

4. High temperature resistance and flame retardant properties
Another major advantage of polycarbonate materials is their good high temperature resistance. Emergency lights may be installed in environments with high temperatures or heat sources, and polycarbonate maintains its stable physical properties at temperatures up to 120°C. In addition, polycarbonate has good flame retardant properties, which can prevent the material from exacerbating the spread of fire in emergency situations such as fires.
Safety and reliability: Emergency lighting equipment is required to work stably in emergency situations, so the high temperature resistance and flame retardant properties of polycarbonate are crucial in improving safety. It maintains structural integrity in high-temperature environments, ensuring continuous lighting at critical moments.

5. UV resistance and anti-aging ability
Clear polycarbonate also has good UV resistance, which allows it to be exposed to sunlight or other light sources for extended periods of time without yellowing or becoming brittle. In contrast, ordinary plastics are prone to aging, discoloration and even cracking when exposed to ultraviolet radiation for a long time, affecting the appearance and functionality of emergency lights.
Durable: The anti-aging properties of polycarbonate material make it suitable for use in various harsh environments indoors and outdoors. It not only ensures long-term transparency of light, but also prevents the material from deformation or damage due to long-term use. Therefore, emergency lights fitted with clear polycarbonate diffusers offer significant advantages in terms of longevity and durability and are suitable for use in high-demand industrial and commercial locations.
