Polyethylene, PMMA & polycarbonate lamp globes

Plastic globes for lamps

The plastic globes for lamps are the perfect solution for those seeking functionality and durability in their lighting projects, especially globes for outdoor street lamps. Thanks to their robust design, these globes are ideal for installation in areas exposed to moisture, rain, or snow. Unlike glass globes for interiors, which can break easily, the plastic globes offer superior resistance and greater longevity, making them a reliable choice for any type of installation.

Polyethylene, polycarbonate or PMMA? Which globe to choose?

When choosing a globe for an outdoor luminaire, the material makes all the difference. It not only affects the aesthetics but also the durability, resistance, and the way the light is projected. That's why in our catalogue you'll find three main materials — polycarbonate, polyethylene, and PMMA (methacrylate) — each with its own advantages depending on the type of installation and environment.

Polycarbonate is the most resistant to impacts and weather conditions. It is ideal for gardens, streets, or public areas where the luminaire may be subject to impacts or exposed to significant temperature changes. Its great advantage is that it does not break easily and maintains its transparency without yellowing in the sun.

Polyethylene, on the other hand, is the lightest and most economical material. Its opal surface diffuses light softly, creating pleasant and uniform environments. It is perfect for terraces, patios, or home entrances, where warm and functional lighting is desired without maintenance complications.

And if a more refined aesthetic is sought, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) offers exceptional clarity and shine, very similar to glass, but with less weight and better resistance to ageing. It is the preferred option for decorative or architectural projects where appearance is as important as quality.

Each material has its purpose: polycarbonate for maximum resistance, polyethylene for practicality, and PMMA for elegance. Three distinct options for the same goal: durable, safe, and stylish outdoor lighting.
