Custom Optical LED Lens Profiles & Extrusions

An optic LED lens profile is an aluminum channel for LED strips that has a PMMA or PC lens diffuser in it. This lens diffuser is made to adjust the direction and spread of the light, which lets you get precise beam distribution instead of just basic diffusion.

PMMA (acrylic) and PC (polycarbonate) are two common materials used to make LED optic lenses. PMMA is recognized for being clear, while PC is better at withstanding impacts. The choice frequently relies on the application and the environment.

People often choose clear (transparent) or frosted (semi-transparent) lens diffusers. Clear diffusers let the most light through, but they might not entirely disperse the individual LED hotspots. Frosted diffusers have a thin texture that helps diffuse the light and hide the LED dots, giving you a good balance between diffusion and light transmission.

Standard LED profiles with flat diffusers mostly make the light softer and cut down on hot spots. LED lens profiles, on the other hand, have optical lenses that dynamically change the beam angle and light distribution, giving you more exact lighting.

Optic lens LED profiles may give you a lot of different beam angles. For accent lighting, we have certain narrow beams, like 15, 30, or 60 degrees. We may make unique beams for certain lighting needs.

Yes, optic lens profiles can greatly cut down on stray light and glare by focusing the light more precisely where it’s needed. This makes it easier to see.

Right now, our optic lens profile is mostly for usage inside, but we can also make outdoor lens diffusers. The outdoor lens profiles need to have the right IP certification and be able to block UV rays.

Lens LED profiles are utilized in many places where lighting needs to be regulated or focussed. People use them for accent lighting, task lighting, exhibition lighting, architectural lighting, wall washing, and more.

Think about the sort of LED strip you are using, the distance to the surface you want to light up, the beam angle you need, and any other elements that might affect the light.

An optic lens can greatly raise the lux level on a target surface, making it look brighter inside that specific beam. However, the lens itself does not improve the LED’s lumen output.
