"Still using plastic LED covers? Here’s why silicone wins:
-
Safety first: Plastic melts and smells. Fire-retardant silicone sleeves stay cool, even if wiring acts up.
-
Eco-friendly: Skip the plastic fumes! RoHS-certified silicone is odor-free and pet/kid-safe.
-
All-weather tough: Plastic cracks in cold? Anti-aging silicone covers laugh at -40°C to 200°C.
Smart upgrade = fewer replacements. Your wallet (and planet) will cheer!" -
