PMMA offers superior optical clarity and light transmission but is more brittle. Polycarbonate (PC) is more durable and heat-resistant but may have slightly lower transmission efficiency.

Precision beam shaping and light distribution components
What are Lenses components?
Lenses are critical secondary optics used to control light distribution, intensity, and beam shape from LEDs. Selection depends on the LED source geometry, required beam angle, material thermal stability, and mechanical mounting constraints.
How to Choose Lenses Components
Selecting the right lens requires balancing optical performance with mechanical integration.
Beam Angle Requirements
Define the FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) needed for your application, whether narrow spot or wide flood.
Material Selection
Choose PMMA for clarity, Polycarbonate for impact resistance, or Silicone for high-temperature/high-power stability.
LED Source Compatibility
Ensure the lens aperture matches the LED package size to prevent light spill and efficiency loss.
Mounting Method
Determine if your design requires snap-fit, adhesive, or screw-mounted optics for assembly.
Efficiency & Transmission
Check the transmission rate across the target wavelength spectrum to minimize light loss.
