What is a Corten Steel Light Box?
The weathering steel light box is made of special steel that meets the ASTM A588 or Q355NH standards. It forms a dense rust layer through natural oxidation, and has an ultra-long service life of more than 50 years and zero maintenance. The 2-3 mm thick design, combined with laser cutting, bending and welding technology, makes each light box a sturdy and durable work of art.
It has a built-in energy-saving LED light source, supports a variety of color temperature adjustments from 2700K warm white to 5000K cold white, and reaches IP65 waterproof level, fearless of wind and rain. Whether it is the creation of a warm atmosphere in a villa courtyard or the landmark lighting design of a commercial plaza, it can be easily controlled.
5 Key Factors to Consider When Buying Metal Lights
► Steel Quality: Look for Certifications, Say No to “Fake Weathering Steel”
When purchasing, be sure to ask the supplier to provide an MTC material test report to ensure that the steel meets ASTM A588 or Q355NH standards. Metal light boxes made of inferior steel not only have loose rust layers that are easy to fall off, but also structural damage within 2-3 years. AHL Corten provides original certification documents and salt spray test videos, 5,000 hours of testing verification, and the quality can stand the test!
► Height and Design: Tailor-made to Suit Scene Requirements
- 3-4 meters metal lights: suitable for garden paths and small courtyards, customizable laser-cut vines and floral patterns
- 5-6 meters corten steel lights: preferred for commercial parks and hotel lobbies, supporting corporate LOGO hollowing design
- 7 meters and above garden lights: dedicated to municipal roads and highways, equipped with professional wind and earthquake-resistant structures
