WhiteOptics® Metal composite reflectors and fixture housings allow improved lighting efficiency in large LED lighting designs and linear fluorescent fixtures.
White98Metal offers the highest diffuse, highest reflectance (98%) metal available in coils up to 48” wide custom slit or in cut-to-length sheets. Sheets can be formed in all standard metal forming processes including punching, press brake, and die forming.
White96Metal now offers additional high, diffuse high reflectance (96%) options for lighting designs requiring reduced cost and/or more complex metal forming processes. This new material is available on steel and aluminum enabling optimum performance in a full range of energy efficient lighting designs.
