To replace the sheet in the industrial elight thatnI use and has over years turned yellow

Jan Duyt 29/08/2018 12:16:35

I bought this product to glaze a door of 15 panels, I chose this over acrylic because it has some fire resistant properties. It has worked a treat and all panels fit perfectly. I am very impressed with the service and speed of delivery, very happy all round.

Neill D 20/06/2018 22:08:09

Stefan nelson 18/07/2017 09:18:44

Used for diffusing LED lights above an aquarium. The piece ordered had to be cut to exact measurements in order to fit and was absolutely spot on.

Gavmoon 10/04/2017 19:18:29

Very good. Happy with product.

Chris Buckingham 24/05/2016 09:19:49

I needed to diffuse the intense light from a small fluorescent lamp in an alcove, by using Opal Polycarbonate sheet over the tube it has subdued the glare, while still allowing enough light to illuminate the alcove, as the fluorescent light produces almost no heat I was able to fit the diffuser close to the tube without problem.

Andrew MacGrego 13/04/2016 21:14:17

I used it to defuse 2 1200mm LED lighting tubes for my aquarium, I drilled and fitted clips to the plastic and clipped them to the underside of the tubes, as with most LED lighting tubes they are not defused making the lighting rather harsh. They worked perfectly just what I wanted, and would certainly recommend, it is a problem aquarists are facing as LED lighting becomes more popular, mainly to cut electricity costs
