Lighting Fixtures & Lamps Questions Answered

I’m looking at outdoor lighting fixtures. Can you explain what the material Trisyn is?

Trisyn is a newly developed material designed as an alternative to cast aluminum components.  In the lighting industry you can find some fixtures that are made from Trisyn. It is extremely strong, durable, and resistant to natural forces of nature such as cracking, warping, corrosion, and chipping. Things made with this material are more popular on the coast where the salt in this environment is so high that it corrodes metals very quickly. When testing this material against salt spray equivalent of 100,000 hours, the results were no visual or structural damage at all. A lighting fixture made from trisyn was dropped from a 3-story building. When it hit the cement, it bounced without cracking.

Our products that are available in trisyn are from Maxim Lighting, some examples are MX-8732-CL-ET, MX-2004, and MX-30181-MR-BZ

As the weather slowly gets warmer and summer approaches it is an ideal time to fix up the house. Most people take advantage of this time or year to plant flowers and vegetables, build a new patio, add swimming pools, fountains, and other various outdoor amenities. One must remember that the first thing a person sees when they approach your house are the outdoor lights which acts as a welcoming to your guests; in other words it is a first impression.
