Abstract
A method for arranging a functional layer on a plastic component of a lighting device and a composite made of the plastic component and the functional layer, in particular a frame, an outer rim, a support frame, an inner lens, a retaining element, or the like is provided. The method includes that a film-like laminar composite is provided that has the functional layer and a substrate. The laminar composite is placed in a holding fixture. A vacuum is turned on in the holding fixture and suctioning of the laminar composite by means of a suction area of the holding fixture is performed. The plastic component is arranged on the laminar composite, and at least areas of the laminar composite are welded or bonded to the plastic component by means of a welding method or by means of an adhesive method.
