When we design lighting for a space we often obsess over the lumens, the color temperature, and the energy efficiency. However, there is a crucial component that often goes overlooked until it cracks, yellows, or shatters: the LED diffuser. The diffuser is the shield. It is the interface between the raw, piercing light of the […]

A Complete Guide to Eco-Safe LED Diffusers: RoHS , REACH, and More
In today’s world, diffusers for LED lighting are everywhere, from the panels in your office ceilings to the backlights on your smartphones and fixtures like street lamps. These materials, like polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), or polystyrene (PS) offer incredible benefits: they’re lightweight and can be molded into complex shapes that traditional alternatives simply can’t […]
The Importance of GWFI in Diffusers for Lighting: Safety and Compliance with IEC 60695-2-12
When designing LED lighting, engineers must balance optical performance, thermal stability, and fire safety. One critical indicator for safe material selection is the Glow-Wire Flammability Index (GWFI), a global standard used to evaluate a plastic’s resistance to ignition. At Hexatron, our optical-grade materials are tested and certified to meet IEC 60695-2-12 standards, ensuring both optical […]
