Further detail:

Even light diffusion

Unlike standard opal acrylic sheet, LED opal light diffusing sheet diffuses light evenly throughout the material without suffering from hot spots caused by individual LED lights.

Economical

LED lighting is more economical to run than more traditional florescent bulb lighting sources. The LED specific sheet we offer has proved through testing that it is the best performing not only in terms of light diffusion and transmission but also in terms of economy of running costs. Fewer LEDs are required using less energy at lower voltage.

Environmentally friendly

LED lighting technology is far more efficient than more traditional lighting systems. Using less energy at very low voltage, LEDs create a safe system with little maintenance and long life. All of which produce a more environmentally conscious choice for lit signage systems.

Flexibility in coloured lighting

LED opal acrylic sheet offers creative flexibility by being able to be lit with different colour LED lighting. Coloured light is transmitted brightly and diffused evenly.

This acrylic sheet was perfect: dimensions were absolutely precise and arrived quickly. I’m using this stuff to make light boxes to display stained glass panels: despite being only 75cm in front of an LED light source, the material provides very even illumination.

D Fraser 27/07/2020 19:19:48

I used this product in a handmade light box incorporating leaded stain glass to diffuse the light source. They were very successful.

Denis Whittaker 15/11/2018 14:36:44

Used as an LED diffuser in a home made table lamp and to diffuse LED lights in a homemade Christmas decoration. Both worked extremely well but I did break one piece when bending a narrow strip around the inside of a 300mm radius. Lessen learned, but I will use this material again and will use Simply Plastics as my supplier since the price, delivery and product quality were excellent.

Tim Gander 29/10/2018 20:50:16

I needed a single, small sheet of Opal Acrylic Sheet as I was building a light box so I could use my digital camera to digitise film negatives and slides. I put in the dimensions I needed, got the online quote, put in the order and it was all turned around really fast. Another firm I'd approached wanted to slap a £25.00 "small order" fee on top which would have meant giving up on the project. The acrylic sheet was cut perfectly and works incredibly well. I'm in the process of making high-quality digital copies of the films now and will hopefully make a book of them in future. Thanks again, Simply Plastics, you've been simply brilliant! Tim

Excellent product. Excellent service. Highly recommended!

GB 06/08/2018 20:18:17

Purshased as a diffusion screen for a 1950s large format photographic enlarger. Works perfectly.

Alan Pickess 26/06/2018 19:31:33

Excellent fast service from simply plastics.

Tom 01/05/2018 21:33:04

Does exactly what we wanted. Spot on!

Sancti 02/03/2018 21:45:15

Perfect. High quality and exactly what I needed. Cut exactly to my specifications. Delivery was timely and convenient. Thanks!

Anna Reeves 15/02/2018 21:22:28

Interior lights in camper van - built frame over mulit change led strips and used the acrylic to cover. In some places the acrylic is very close to the lights and you can still see the individual lights but as long as theres a couple inch gap it works really well. Slight colour distortion but overall very happy. Great value

Francois 26/10/2017 21:43:28

Cutting of Pieces done with high precision - Delivery very quick. Pleasure dealing with these guys!!!!!

Nap Coverdale 17/08/2017 09:19:02

Used to build my own linear LED light strip and diffuse the light. Fantastic quality and service

Mads kjosavik skeie 01/04/2017 06:10:03

smooths out lighting very beautiful <3

Sam Whitaker 10/05/2016 22:43:58

Very impressed with the material, I am slowly changing my house lighting to LED. This has been my first room. I didn't want up lighting so I have been looking for a diffuser I could use around the perimeter of the ceiling instead of coving. I was abit dubious about how flat plastic at a 45 degree angle would look. But it actually is quite nice. No central light, so when the lights are off it looks like there is no light source in the room, when they are on the room has the best lighting in the house. Just how I wanted it.
