White Paper on a new generation of polycarbonate and acrylic LED light diffusing materials that offer design flexibility, hide hot spots, and transmit more light.

This paper provides a comprehensive look at some of the top materials currently available to solve your LED lighting challenges including an explanation of how they work, material comparisons, plus property charts and photographs.

Highlights:

• How the materials diffuse light and hide “hot spots”
• Polycarbonate vs. acrylic – advantages and limitations
• Properties: material strength, flammability, light transmission, light diffusion, and temperature capabilities
• Visual comparisons - light diffusion, light transmission, and color
• Material options for architectural, commercial, and transportation light fixtures, backlighted signs, lighted point-of-purchase displays, and troffer retrofitting
