Silicon lenses are a type of optical lens that is made from liquid optical silicone, which is processed by liquid injection molding. These lenses are known for their exceptional quality and durability, as they are made from an unbreakable optically clear silicone rubber that is both safe and reliable. YEJIA specializes in producing silicone lenses in a variety of sizes. Our largest lens measures up to 575mm, while our smallest lens is just 1mm. No matter what your specific needs may be, we have the expertise and technology to deliver the highest quality silicone lenses on the market.
LED Lighting Silicon Lens Applications
Silicon lenses are highly suitable for aerospace lighting lenses, mining lamps, and special lamps and lanterns used in flammable, explosive, and harsh conditions. They are also ideal for industrial lighting, indoor and outdoor LED lighting, automotive headlights, and LED displays.
The unique properties of silicon lenses make them highly desirable in these applications. They are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and wear and tear, making them highly durable. They also offer superior light transmission and can withstand high levels of stress without compromising on performance.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Silicon Lenses
One of the key benefits of silicone lenses is their high light transmission, which ensures that there is no residual stress or yellowing. This results in an excellent visual effect that is free from fatigue and dispersion.
Compared to PMMA or PC lenses, silicon lenses have a higher light transmission rate of about 94%, making them suitable for high-grade optical applications. The optical efficiency of silicon lenses is also higher than PMMA and PC lenses, with better consistency and more accurate light angles, and their anti-UV properties are superior to both PC and PMMA.
In addition to their optical properties, silicone lenses are also highly resistant to water, temperature fluctuations, weathering, and UV radiations. They have a high temperature resistance of up to 200℃, making them ideal for applications where COB temperature is a concern. They also have a long service life, which means that they can be used for extended periods without the need for frequent replacements.
