How reliable is the weather resistance of lighting tempered glass in outdoor lighting applications?
Publish Time: 2024-12-09
In the field of outdoor lighting, lighting faces many harsh environmental tests, and lighting tempered glass, with its excellent weather resistance, provides unparalleled reliability for outdoor lighting.The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. The temperature rises rapidly under direct sunlight during the day and may drop sharply at night. Lighting tempered glass can withstand such drastic temperature changes without cracking or deformation. Its special tempering process forms a uniform prestress inside the glass, effectively enhancing its resistance to thermal expansion and contraction stress. For example, in outdoor lighting in desert areas, ordinary glass may crack due to thermal stress under the scorching sun during the day, while lighting tempered glass remains intact, ensuring the normal use and beauty of the lighting.Humid environment is also a challenge often encountered by outdoor lighting. Rain, fog and high humidity air erode lighting components for a long time. Lighting tempered glass has extremely low water absorption, which can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the glass, avoiding problems such as fogging and deterioration of the glass surface caused by moisture. In the open square by the sea, the sea breeze carries a lot of salt and water vapor, and ordinary glass will soon be corroded and blurred, while the weather-resistant lighting tempered glass can remain clear and transparent for a long time, allowing the light to penetrate steadily, adding a beautiful view to the seaside at night.Ultraviolet radiation is another factor that cannot be ignored in the outdoor environment. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays will cause many materials to age and become brittle. Lighting tempered glass has excellent anti-ultraviolet performance, which can block a large amount of ultraviolet rays from damaging the glass itself and the internal lighting components. In mountainous areas, the intensity of ultraviolet rays is relatively high. If ordinary glass is used for outdoor landscape lighting here, problems such as discoloration and decreased intensity may occur in a short period of time. However, lighting tempered glass can continue to work stably for many years in this harsh ultraviolet environment, greatly reducing the maintenance frequency and replacement cost of outdoor lighting, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the outdoor lighting system, and providing solid protection and support for outdoor lighting applications such as urban night landscapes and road lighting, making it an indispensable and ideal material for outdoor lighting.
