Mirror embossed aluminum sheets are primarily chosen as lamp cover materials due to their excellent reflective properties, which can effectively reflect light, enhance the luminous efficiency of lamps, and increase brightness.
The mirror embossed aluminum sheet for lamp covers or fixtures is a type of decorative aluminum material in which embossed or relief patterns are created on the back side of a mirror-finished aluminum sheet through special processes such as engraving, embossing, or etching. It is mainly used for decorative lamp cover panels.
"Mirror embossed aluminum sheet" refers to a mirror-finish aluminum sheet whose surface has been treated with embossing (that is, given textures or patterns), rather than being completely flat.
- Base material: High-quality aluminum sheet with excellent ductility and reflectivity.
- Mirror effect: Achieved through polishing, anodizing, and other processes to make the surface of the aluminum sheet reach a high reflectivity comparable to that of a mirror.
- Embossing process: Three-dimensional engraving is applied to the back side of the aluminum sheet to create various patterns, textures, or lettering.
- Function: When used as a lamp cover, light shines from behind or from the side, and through the concave and convex variations of the embossed surface, creates alternating light and shadow effects on the front side with rich layering and three-dimensional visual appeal.
Selection of Alloy for Mirror Embossed Aluminum Sheet for Lamp Covers

Surface Treatments for Mirror Embossed Aluminum Sheet
- Anodizing: A 20μm thick oxide layer provides insulation and corrosion resistance, and can be colored (such as champagne gold or bronze).
- PVDF coating: Excellent weather resistance, suitable for outdoor lighting fixtures, with a coating lifespan of 15–20 years.
- Nano anti-fog coating: Enhances the user experience of bathroom mirror lights by reducing condensation and water vapor buildup.
Characteristics of Mirror Embossed Aluminum Sheet
- High reflectivity: The reflectivity of mirror aluminum sheets can reach approximately 80% to 95%.
- Embossing enhances texture/patterns: Embossing increases the surface area (beneficial for heat dissipation), improves strength and rigidity, and scatters or reduces glare (ideal for lighting applications).
- Surface/finish options: Multiple choices available, including plain mirror (flat surface), mirror embossed (patterned), mirror anodized (hard anodized layer), or mirror coated (colored/film-coated).
- Especially suitable for lamp covers: Reflective or embossed sheets can be used as internal reflectors inside the lamp cover (to change light direction) or as decorative outer covers with visual appeal.
Advantages of Mirror Embossed Aluminum Sheet for Lamp Covers
- Reduced Reflectivity: The special embossed surface treatment helps to lower light reflectivity and reduce glare.
- Improved Visual Comfort: Diffuse light provides a soft lighting effect, suitable for environments with gentle lighting needs, such as stores and residences.
- Decorative Effect: The unique surface treatment not only improves light scattering but also possesses good decorative qualities, making it suitable for various architectural and interior designs.
