Light bars are frequently used to distribute bright, even light over pool tables.
Light bars, a single fixture with several lights affixed in a line on it, are used in a variety of settings, primarily in the home. Installing track lighting on bar installations is one of the easiest ways to use bar lighting. In some settings, a bar with several lights along it produces fuller light than a single bulb does. You have several reasons to use nickel as the prime metal in a light bar frame.
Style
The most common reason to choose a nickel light bar is for the look. Brushed nickel is a silvery white color that gives a very modern, even futuristic look when used in furniture. Most nickel compounds take on a green or blue hue, which can give you the brushed look of nickel in more subdued colors. Light bars, with adjustable lights and settings, are often used to set a mood in a room.
Heat Resistance
Nickel is a heat-resistant metal. It is often used in light bars designed for use under cupboards because it can provide bright consistent light while, when properly lined, minimizing the danger of heat transfer in such confined spaces. It can help protect people from getting burned if reaching blindly to turn it on or off or if they accidentally brush the fixture while searching for something else.
Anti-corrosion
Because of its anti-corrosive qualities, nickel is one of the main ingredients used to make stainless steel. In fact, 65 percent of the nickel used in the western world is for that purpose. Even under extreme heat, nickel resists corrosion. In high heat settings, such as the light bars used to track spotlights in a theater setting, nickel and nickel alloys will hold up without showing corrosion even under intense and prolonged use. Because of its anti-corrosive qualities under high heat, it is often used in turbines and rocket engines.
Durability
With its combination of heat resistance, anti-corrosion and hardness, nickel is a very durable metal when used for household fixtures. With minimal maintenance, a nickel light bar will look new years after fixtures made of other metals show their age and wear. Furniture made of nickel and nickel alloys hold up without rusting or getting easily dented, so you are more likely to change them because your tastes have changed than because they have worn out.
