Reviews

I bought this sheet to make myself a light box for transferring my drawings to fabric for quilting and wanted that this one would be bigger than my old one. This opal sheet is doing the job briliantly, the quality is very high. Order arrived on time, packed very carefully. I recommend this seller.

My husband used the product for some outdoor lights he built. The Opal Acrylic Light Diffusing Sheets were just great for the job, arrived promptly and perfectly packaged.

Used opal acrylic for signs on light boxes - 3mm thick Perfect- will be ordering again

I used the opal acrylic for a light box. It diffusés very well the light. Great quality, came cut to the size I wanted, fast and affordable. I would recommend this company.

Photographic use. Works fine.

I bought this to use in my still life photography. Very pleased with quality of product and the fast and efficient service. I shall probably purchase similar from you again.

I wanted light diffusing panels to fit over small LED panels for photography.

Opal Acrylic Light Diffusing Sheets were used to replace missing items in a couple of flush mounted fluorescent fittings for which the original diffusers have long been unavailable. Good quality items, many thanks.

really good product. fast shipping.

First time buyer. Fast prompt service. Good quality material which was accurately cut. Thank you.

I used two sheets behind decorative glass box frame which had lighting behind. My measurements were perfect.

Converted the feature crests from the lead light windows removed from our house into individual framed pictures. These were framed and backed with the defuser and backlit. They were then mounted as a wall feature in a cellar dining area. Very pleased with the result and the effect or the defuser

I ordered as needed something which was strong & stable to make a photo box to take photos of cards I make for charity to have record different cards I make. Tried other products but this is far the best for the job. got 4 pieces 1ft high by same in width, So far I have not needed to add a light source very happy with the results, whether using mobile or my camera to take photos. Excellent value for money was cheaper than other products bought previously. If you do photography I would highly recommend using this and this company as great value for money quick delivery too. Will use again.
