About Pexco
Custom Lighting Components
Ambient, Outdoor, Commercial, Medical, and Hospitality Applications
Pexco specializes in the manufacturing of high quality, engineered extruded lenses & diffusers along with gaskets & seals for Lighting OEMs in North America. Our skilled team of professionals are available to assist with design recommendations in order to help you achieve your product specific goals. Pexco has a wide range of acrylic and polycarbonate material blends to deliver an optimal balance of diffusion and lumen output. We also co-extrude gaskets or seals directly onto lenses or diffusers and we manufacture stand-alone seals out of silicone, EPDM, TPU and more.
Market Challenges
The lighting industry faces many unique challenges including overseas supply chain disruptions, volatile economic conditions, intense competition from imports, and the need to adapt to evolving consumer demands like smart and sustainable lighting.
Top Challenges in the Lighting Industry
- Degradation: UV and thermal degradation in outdoor and industrial setting
- Electrical insulation and ingress protection (IP) sealing: Retrofitting older systems with modern lighting can be difficult due to incompatible or outdated electrical systems and fixtures.
- Aesthetic and optical consistency in LED systems: Creating effective lighting requires balancing functional needs, cost, and aesthetic requirements.
- Sustainability: The industry is under pressure to design products and eco-friendly materials for easier repair and recycling.
Pexco Solutions
Pexco’s products and capabilities help solve these challenges by combining materials expertise with advanced manufacturing.
Products for Lighting
Lenses
Precision engineered lenses designed to direct, focus and control light into specific patterns, increasing intensity, enhancing illumination efficiency and reducing glare.
Diffusers
Expertly crafted diffusers engineered to scatter, spread and soften light, ensuring the light spreads uniformly and efficiently.
LED Lens Covers
Engineered for demanding environments, high-quality optical lens covers protect LEDs from dust, moisture, and mechanical impact – ensuring reliable operation even under harsh conditions. Precision optics enhance light output and distribution, delivering brighter, more efficient illumination.
Silicone Seals
High-performance silicone seals designed to block moisture and dust, protecting lighting assemblies from harsh environments while preserving optical clarity and system integrity.
