Material Safety Data Sheet

Section 4: Physical Properties & Lamp Composition
Physical Properties:
Not applicable to an intact lamp. These items are light bulbs in various shapes,
configurations, and designs. All contain solid-state light emitting diodes (LEDs) as the
light-generating source. These LEDs are contained in various enclosure types and
shapes that may be constructed of aluminum, glass, plastic, or a combination of these
materials. Some products also contain circuitry to energize the LEDs. All lamps are
fitted with a metal base or pins for installation in appropriate lighting fixtures. These
bases are generally comprised of aluminum, nickel-plated tin, nickel-plated brass,
plastic or a combination of these materials.
Lamp Composition:
Glass and Metal Materials: The glass in some LED Lamps is manufactured from
similar glass used in the industry for other LED fixtures, some of the glass globes may
contain a thin coating of clay and silica inside the surface of the glass. The lamp bases
are generally nickel-plated brass. Many LED lamps also contains aluminum, in the
housing material, and steel. None of these materials would present a hazard in the
event of breakage of the lamp, aside from the obvious hazard due to broken glass.
Plastic: The plastic covering used in some LED lamps and fixtures is manufactured
from polycarbonate, the base housing contains PBT (polybutylene-terephthalate) and is
essentially like that used throughout the plastics industry for other common consumer
products and common construction materials.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Packages: We purchase LED chips from numerous
manufacturers that follow NEC codes and guidelines and have all the proper testing and
certification. The composition of the LED Package that produces white light consists of
metals, phosphor, plastics and InGaN (Indium Gallium Nitride) semiconductor chip(s).
Due to their insolubility and inertness, these materials do not present a hazard.
Electronic Driver: The electronic driver in most cases is built into the lamp housing.
The driver consists of parts that are essentially similar, but not identical, to those used
throughout the electronics industry for other common consumer electronic equipment.
LED drivers do not contain Lead solder and are compliant with the European RoHS
directive.
