Aluminum Alloy 1050 Reflective Aluminum Sheet for Lighting | Thickness 0.3–1.0 mm | Width 1000–1250 mm | Anodized Surface | Mirror or Matt Finish

Introduction                                                

The 0.3–1.0 mm 1050 anodized aluminum sheet is the most widely recognized high-reflectivity material in the global lighting industry for premium LED reflectors, parabolic / conical reflectors, high-bay optics, downlight inserts, streetlight reflectors and decorative luminaire components.

With aluminum purity ≥99.50%, 1050 delivers:

Highest achievable reflectivity among commercial alloys after mirror polishing & anodizing

Excellent anodizing response → very uniform, bright & hard anodic film

Superior formability in thin gauges for deep-drawn & spun reflector shapes

Cost-effective yet long-term stable solution for indoor & moderate outdoor lighting

Anodizing specificationFilm thickness: 15–25 μm (AA15–AA20 architectural grade),Hardness: 350–450 HV,Reflectivity: total 94–97%, specular ≥90–94% (depending on base polish & anodizing thickness),Warranty: 30 years reflectivity retention & no yellowing/chalking in lighting environments

FAQ (USA/Europe/Middle East/Asia Buyers)

Q1: Why choose 1050 over 5005 or 6061 for high-end lighting reflectors?

A: 1050 achieves the highest total reflectivity (94–97%) after mirror polishing & anodizing due to its ultra-high purity. It is significantly cheaper than 5005/6061 while offering excellent optical performance for most indoor & moderate outdoor luminaires.

Q2: What is the actual reflectivity after anodizing? A: Total reflectivity 94–97%, specular ≥90–94% (depending on base polish & anodizing thickness). We provide spectrophotometer test reports (ASTM E903) for each batch.

Q3: Can the sheet be deep-drawn or spun for parabolic reflectors without losing reflectivity?

A: Yes — 1050 has excellent formability (elongation >30%). Mirror polish is usually applied before anodizing; we supply deep-drawn & anodized samples showing reflectivity retention.

Q4: Minimum order quantity & lead time for custom anodized colors?

A: MOQ 3–5 tons (depending on color); standard silver/black 15–25 days; custom dye match 25–35 days. Sample sheets free with freight collect.

Q5: How does 1050 anodized perform in high-UV / outdoor lighting applications?

A: Excellent — anodized layer passes 3000–5000 h UV & salt-spray; no yellowing or chalking. Real Florida/Arizona outdoor exposure data available.

Q6: Is the material suitable for high-thermal LED applications (heat sink + reflector)?

A: Yes — thermal conductivity ~230 W/m·K, anodized surface provides electrical insulation while maintaining excellent heat dissipation. Thermal cycling test data provided.
