About LED lights, aluminum is too expensive?

Most consumers like to choose cheap things, while smart people choose the cost-effective ones, and some people like to buy the best ones regardless of the price.

For example, many times, when we buy LED lights, we only see its price, but ignore its value. Is it worth it? Let's compare it with an example below to see if the price is cheap or expensive! We all know that LED lights need heat dissipation. If the heat dissipation is not good, the life span will be very low. For example, plastic LED lamps cannot dissipate heat at all. If they are used for home use, they can barely be used in the first half to eight months. But if it is used for outdoor or commercial photography, the service life is only 2-3 months!

Take LED corn lights as an example. The materials are plastic and aluminum. The price of plastic corn lights with the same wattage is twice that of aluminum.

According to statistics, the outdoor service life of the plastic corn lamp with mains power supply is 3-5 months, while that with 12V solar power supply is only 2-3 months! But whether it is powered by city electricity or solar energy, the life span of the corn lamp with 6063 aluminum heat dissipation is as long as 3-5 years! Obviously, the price of the corn lamp of the same wattage is twice the difference in material, but the difference in use value is nearly 10 times. In addition, since the replacement of outdoor lamps requires a lift or a manual ladder to go up, the cost of each repair and replacement is also a large expense, and even the maintenance cost is much higher than the price of the lamp itself. Therefore, the price of the lamp is high in this after-sales service. The cost can be said to be insignificant.

In the short term, when buying plastic LED lamps, the price is twice as cheap, but it will cost hundreds of times more for maintenance. Although LED lamps made of aluminum are more expensive, they have a long service life and require little or no maintenance. They cost a lot of money when they buy them, but they get more than 10 times the return on investment.
