Extruded aluminum vs. die cast aluminum
At SEM, Inc., our LED fixture housings are made with extruded aluminum. This sets us apart from the rest, because many of our competitors use die cast aluminum for their LED housings. We chose extruded aluminum as opposed to die cast aluminum due to its superior quality and durability. Our LED’s are designed to last up to 20 years, but we understand that a high-quality LED is meaningless without a high-quality housing to protect it. Our extruded aluminum housings extend the life of the LED’s and ensure maximum LED performance.
