Do You Know Why Lighting Manufactures Use Aluminum Lighting Parts?
Do you know why lighting manufactures use Aluminum Lighting Parts? Lighting Fixtures and Parts are electrical parts and devices used to create artificial light or illumination outdoors or in houses and buildings. Lighting fixtures are classified as indoor lighting fixtures or outdoor lighting fixtures. A complete lighting fixture unit consists of the light source or lamp, the light reflector for directing the light, an aperture (with or without a lens), the outer shell or housing for lamp alignment and protection, an electrical ballast, if required, and connection to a power source. A wide variety of special light fixtures are created for use in the:

Kinetic Die Casting Company produces these die cast Lighting Parts at rates of a few hundred to several thousand parts each day to satisfy our customers’ production needs.
In the past, lighting parts manufacturers mostly used steel as material for their lighting products. Aluminum is a more recent innovation in the field of lighting fixtures manufacturing, although aluminum lighting parts have been in the market for a long time as well.
In fact, these days, aluminum is the material of choice for builders and engineers who are constantly looking for lighting fixtures for their projects.
Aluminum lighting parts have many advantages over those made of other materials. In terms of cost, for example, lighting parts that are made of aluminum are cheaper than those made of other materials because the raw material itself is relatively cheaper. When it comes to performance, lighting parts that are made of aluminum are also top-notch. For one, the material is highly conductive and has excellent thermal properties that allow it to withstand high temperatures.
Aluminum lighting parts are also convenient to transport, because they are three times lighter than their steel counterpart. And because they are heavier, even transportation costs are minimal, compared to transporting steel. There are a wide range of aluminum lighting parts in the market these days. The wide selection is caused by the fact the aluminum is flexible and pliable, allowing manufacturers to produce parts in different shapes and sizes, and for any application that they can be used for.

Aluminum Lighting Fixtures and Parts
Aluminum Lighting Fixtures and Parts have been produced for many years. Aluminum Die Casting Lighting fixtures are less expensive than other manufacturing processes. Aluminum light fixtures have good thermal properties and are used in applications where high temperature power supplies and bulbs are used. In former years, lighting housings were welded together, which was labor intensive, costly, and had limitations on the shapes available. Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts can be many shapes and sizes, used in many lighting applications, and can be manufactured net shape. Aluminum weighs 1/3 of a comparable steel part. The aluminum part would cost less to ship due to the weight. Aluminum lighting fixtures can be produced in quantities of a few hundred to thousands of aluminum lighting fixtures each day. Aluminum fixtures are electrically conductive and can be grounded.

Aluminum Die Casting Lighting Fixture Parts
Aluminum Die Casting Lighting Fixture Parts from aluminum sand castings. A customer who is a lighting parts manufacturer buys an aluminum sand casting fixture for his lighting products. This sand casting is an “Aluminum Trolley Mount” used to clasp his lighting fixtures from the ceiling in a room. This aluminum trolley fixture has to be strong and look good to be part of his lighting products. He has been using this aluminum sand casting for quite a long time. The initial sand casting cost less to get started with a new product line and die casting cost a little more. The sand casting tooling costs less than $5000 to get started and the part price in this case is about $70 each part. My customer buys about 50 parts a month. His total cost to purchase these castings in a year after the tooling is paid for would be $70 per part times 12 times per year times 50 parts per month ($42,000 per year). Can this part be cost effectively manufactured as an aluminum die casting lighting fixture?
Aluminum Lighting Fixture Die Castings
The die casting part will require die cast tooling. This tooling will take about 10 weeks to be made and will cost about $28,000 to be made. This seems too costly for some but if the yearly total cost is calculated it will show that the tooling cost is reasonable. The part price in this case is $8 each part. A simple calculation will show the cost of the die castings with the die casting tooling will be better than the cheaper sand casting price.
Aluminum Die Castings
Part Price — $ 8.00
Annual Quantity — 600
Total parts cost — $4,800
Tooling cost — $28,000
Total product cost — $32,800
Aluminum Sand Castings
Part Price — $ 70.00
Annual Quantity — 600
Total parts cost — $42,000
Tooling cost — Paid for already
Total product cost — $42,000
The aluminum die casting option will cost about $9,000 less the first year and over $30,000 less each year afterwards. Die casting aluminum is a greater option.

Why You Should Consider New Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts
Why You Should Consider New Aluminum Lighting Fixture Parts. For some time, lighting fixtures for various applications are manufactured with great labor. The parts are carefully welded and shaped in order to make a good fit for the lighting source. Because of the seemingly complicated works that takes place in the manufacture of steel lighting parts, the cost of such pieces is relatively expensive. Those who cannot avail of the steel lighting parts are now considering the use of new aluminum lighting fixture parts for their products.
Aluminum is a kind of metal that is very pliable. It can easily conform to the desired shape and size of the manufacturer. However, even though it is malleable, it is still a durable material for lighting purposes. It is relatively more resistant to rusts and other harmful elements. Aside from this, aluminum also provides a good heating facility for the lighting fixtures that are used for thermal applications. Unlike with plastic, it does not “burn” with constant use.
Aluminum lighting fixture parts are available in various sizes and shapes. You can instantly acquire parts that are suitable for your lighting fixtures. Parts that are manufactured from cast aluminum are considerably lighter than steel. Because of this, you can have the pieces assembled and installed without having any troubles with them.

The Advantages of Using New Cast Aluminum Lighting Parts
The Advantages of Using New Cast Aluminum Lighting Parts. Die cast aluminum parts are popular materials in various industries today. One particular area where these pieces are extensively being used is the house lighting industry. The trend these days is to gain greater amount of light and heat using a cheap but durable material. Hence, the manufacturers of light fixtures are currently producing items that are made from cast aluminum. There are so many advantages that can be gained just from using these new cast aluminum lighting parts.
Unknown to some people, a cast aluminum fixture has better lighting and themal properties than steel. This is because aluminum parts can be easily modified to enable the lighting source to exude more light and heat. Aside from this, a cast aluminum part is generally lighter than steel. This inherent property of aluminum will allow you to assemble the pieces without any hassles.
Cast aluminum parts cost much less than their steel counterparts. However, this does not mean that aluminum lighting parts are substandard pieces. In fact, they are highly in-demand in the market today. They are as durable as the steel parts, yet they are more affordable compared to the latter. Aluminum parts are also more resistant to rusts than those that are made of steel. They do not even require some repainting task unlike when you are using steel lighting parts.
