Application of lens reflectors in LED lighting

Posted on 2025-06-18, in Blog

As we all know, in LED lighting, controlling and optimizing light output is particularly important for efficiency and performance. We all know that optical lenses play an important role in LED lighting, but the role played by lens reflectors cannot be ignored, especially in COB LED applications.

What is a lens reflector?

Simply put, a lens reflector is also a type of lens optical component, but its appearance is different from that of a general lens. A lens reflector is generally made of PC material and a highly reflective aluminum coating.

Lens reflectors are used to redirect and focus light from LEDs, especially COB (Chip-on-Board) LEDs. Lens reflectors are generally parabolic, elliptical or conical in shape, and the shape design determines the spread of light (spotlight vs. floodlight effect).

How does a lens reflector work?

Lens reflectors are usually coated with a highly reflective aluminum coating (reflectivity is 90-95%). We can use reflectors to focus and direct the light emitted by COB LEDs to a specific area or target. This improves the efficiency of light output and controls the direction of light output.

What are the main applications of lens reflectors?

Light from a COB LED can be concentrated and directed toward a specific area or target using a reflector. This is useful in applications that require focused lighting, such as spotlights or task lighting.

  2.  COB LED reflectors are used in industrial settings, such as warehouses, factories, and workshops, where high-intensity lighting is required. 

If you need to use optics in your cob LED application, perhaps a lens reflector is a good choice!
