We are not unfamiliar with LED underwater lights. Such lamps are used in private swimming pool lighting and outdoor fountain landscapes. In addition to the need for waterproof performance above IP68, the durability of the lamp housing is also very important. Generally, manufacturers will choose stainless steel as the lamp housing. material.
But when we buy LED stainless steel underwater lights, the manufacturer will provide a variety of lighting options, among which there are two options for stainless steel shell materials, namely stainless steel 304 and stainless steel 316. Somewhat confused, different models of products must be different in terms of performance, what is the difference between stainless steel 304 and stainless steel 316, and which is better?
1. Appearance
There doesn't seem to be any difference between the two.
2. Performance.
304 and 316 are both austenitic stainless steels. 316 has molybdenum (MO) added to 304 stainless steel and has more nickel elements. Therefore, 316 stainless steel has better seawater and rust resistance than 304. 316 is generally used in offshore environments.
3, the price.
Due to the added molybdenum and nickel elements in 316, 316 stainless steel is more expensive than 304 stainless steel.
Chongqing Xinyuanhui Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd.: The above is the difference between stainless steel 304 and stainless steel 316. When consumers choose lamps, they can choose according to their own needs. There is no doubt that stainless steel 316 is a better material, but If the budget is limited, stainless steel 304 is also a good choice, but when used in saltwater pools and marine operations, it is best to choose stainless steel 316 LED underwater lamps.
