Use of anodising in lighting applications
From office buildings and retail environments to hospitals, hotels, and restaurants, lighting is a critical factor in shaping not only visibility but also the mood and character of these spaces.
Lighting is a fundamental architectural and interior design element that orchestrates visual experience and contributes significantly to people's well-being, brand identity, and overall experience, making it an indispensable element of the modern built environment.
Anodising is widely used in lighting applications for buildings and architecture, both for decorative finishes and to enhance durability in lighting fixtures and architectural elements.
Aluminium and anodising for lighting solutions
We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality anodising for aluminium lighting fixtures, feature lighting, housings, aluminium enclosures, trims, tracks, and housings for both indoor and outdoor use in commercial and architectural settings.
Feature lighting encompasses a range of fixtures designed to highlight specific architectural elements or create unique visual effects. Housings and enclosures provide a protective shell for the light source and electrical components. These enclosures are often made from aluminium due to its desirable properties.

Aesthetics & lighting
Aesthetics is everything, and the ability to match interior and exterior building features to the overall design of structures is valuable to maintaining the character, feel, and consistency of the buildings. Combining the aesthetic benefits of anodised aluminium with United Anodisers’ extensive colour range unlocks a wide variety of creative possibilities.
Heat Dissipation
In areas where natural light is not available, artificial lighting can be highly beneficial. However, using lighting solutions such as energy-saving lights and LEDs introduces a thermal management challenge. While LEDs are highly energy-efficient, they still generate heat during operation. This heat can negatively impact LED performance and lifespan if not properly dissipated.
Here's where material selection becomes critical. PPC enclosures, while offering good UV protection, may not provide adequate heat dissipation for high-powered LEDs. This can lead to premature failure and even physical cracks in the enclosure.
Anodising, in contrast, presents a superior solution for thermal management, given its commendable heat conductivity. This characteristic contributes to its high durability, significantly reducing the necessity for frequent repairs and maintenance without exerting considerable influence on the total cost of ownership (TCO).

How to clone into other project?
Press "Ctrl + E" or "Cmd + E" in the Designer and enable "Select on-page element".
Search for the class named, "Cloneable Area".
Copy the element inside this container to your own project.
Rename the classes accordingly if they are clashing with your project.
Ensure custom code from the in-page setting has been copied into your project as well (if there's any).
'Page Trigger' interaction can't be copied directly. You can only clone the whole project, or rebuild it.
A simple trick to copy the 'Page Trigger' interaction into another project is as below:
1. Create a dummy element.
2. Apply any type of 'Element trigger' into the dummy element and select the 'Page Trigger' animation.
3. Copy the dummy element with the animations applied into your new project.
4. The animation should have been copied into your project and you can reapply the 'Page Trigger' animation into your project.If you have further inquiry or need assistance, feel free to contact us.
Lastly, please do not copy this project and claim it as your own. We wish to continue sharing and giving to the community. In order to do so, we will need your cooperation and full support. Thank you very much,
