What Makes Up an LED Linear Light?
An LED linear light is an assembly of several key components. Each part plays a specific role — from heat dissipation to light diffusion to electrical connection.
Core components:
Aluminum Profile
PC Diffuser Cover
End Caps
Mounting Accessories
Lampu Jalur LED
Bekalan Kuasa
Dimmer / Controller
Component Deep Dive
Aluminum Profile (6063-T5)
Lightstec uses aluminum alloy 6063-T5 for all linear light profiles. T5 tempering involves high-temperature extrusion, cooling, and artificial aging — producing a profile with excellent mechanical properties.
Why 6063-T5?
- Good thermal conductivity (heat dissipation)
- Lightweight yet rigid
- Excellent extrusion — complex shapes possible
- High mechanical strength and rigidity
- Good machining performance
Surface finish:
Alkali-sand silver oxidation — a high-concentration alkali bath creates an ultra-smooth, corrosion-resistant surface with consistent color.
PC Diffuser Cover
Our diffuser covers are made from Polycarbonate (PC) — an engineering plastic with a carbonate ester polymer chain. Aromatic PC is the only type with industrial-scale production and is the fastest-growing engineering plastic.
PC cover advantages:
- Heat resistant: up to 120–140°C
- Fire rating: V2 (self-extinguishing)
- UV resistant: excellent outdoor aging performance
- Electrical insulation: stable even in wet/high-temp conditions
- Light diffusion: uniform, glare-free output
End Caps
End caps seal both ends of the linear light, protecting the internal components and giving a clean finished look.
Available materials:
- PC (polycarbonate) — lightweight, insulating
- Aluminum — matches profile color, premium look
Lightstec Note: Aluminum end caps are color-matched to the profile for a seamless, professional finish.
Mounting Accessories
Every linear light needs hardware for installation. Lightstec provides a complete accessory kit with each product.
