Dow has published a new white paper, “Blue Light Photothermal Aging of Thermoplastic and Silicone Lens Clusters,” with insights for luminaire designers, optical engineers, and LED module manufacturers. Through comparative testing under heat and blue-light irradiance, silicone optics demonstrated superior stability under high photothermal loads, while the thermoplastic optics were prone to discoloration, and, in some cases, catastrophic thermal runaway.
Join us for a free Dow webinar hosted by LED Magazine on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, at 11 AM (ET) to hear about the optical and aging performance benefits of Dow’s next-generation moldable optical silicones in LED lighting.
