PC Lighting Profiles

Polycarbonate lighting extrusion profiles for covers, housings and fittings where impact strength and heat resistance decide the material.

What we supply

Polycarbonate is chosen when the profile has to survive impact. Vandal-resistant fittings, industrial luminaires, warehouse and parking-garage fixtures, and any cover that can be struck or dropped – these are PC jobs, not PMMA jobs.

PC also carries a higher continuous service temperature than acrylic, which matters when the profile sits close to a high-power LED board. The trade-off is slightly lower transmission and a material that is more sensitive to processing, so wall thickness and die design need more care.

Options we build into the profile

  • UV-stabilised PC for exterior and semi-exterior luminaires
  • Flame-retardant grades where the fitting requires it
  • Co-extruded PC with a diffusing PMMA layer
  • Thick-wall sections for high-impact covers
  • Prismatic surface for glare control
  • Cutting, drilling and machining to your assembly drawing

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose PC when the profile can be struck, when it sits close to a hot LED board, or when the fitting needs flame-retardant material. Choose PMMA when maximum transmission and UV stability matter more than impact.
Standard PC weathers less well than PMMA. For exterior use we run UV-stabilised PC grades, which is why we ask about the installation environment early.
Yes. A common construction is a PC body for strength with a PMMA diffusing layer for optical performance.
