Swedish term

gjutgods

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) light fixtures
This refers to the material of the light fixtures.

The only context I can provide is: "Material: Pulverlackerad gjutgods."

I can also tell you that the lights are made from aluminium.

At the moment, the furthest I have got is "castings", but "powder-coated castings" doesn't really seem enough to me, so I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Many thanks in advance,

Richard

powder-lacquered castings is perhaps more to the point.
Note from asker:
Thanks. So you think "powder-coated castings" is acceptable then?

Thank you Sven.
agree Anna Herbst : http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_112614/article.html - "Aluminium castings won’t rust, can be powder-coated or painted, and are light". Aluminium mentioned in response to Asker's question in note above.

Thank you Anna, but not necessarily aluminium.
