Why light bulb is suitable for thermoplastics?

Lower temperature thermoplastic materials are not used in an incandescent light bulb. An incandescent light bulb gets to the temperature of 225 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (107 to 177 degrees centigrade) so the thermoplastics materials must operate at those temperatures without deformation. Led lamps do not get hotter than 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Centigrade. Led lamps can be used with most thermoplastic materials.
