How to Size the Lens

The goal of choosing the correct size is to make sure there is enough support to hold the lens in place, without making it so large that removal and replacement are difficult.

Our lenses are sturdy enough to remain in place with as little as 1/4 inch support from the frame along the perimeter, however optimum overlap on the frame is 3/8 to 1/2 inch in most cases. This means the lens will be 3/4 to 1 inch longer/wider than the light opening. Where more vertical space is available in the fixture, you may have up to 3/4" of perimeter support.

Note - If custom sizes are ordered, Artwork is resized so that nothing is cropped off by a smaller lens.
