We offer three matte white acrylic diffuser thickness options for standard light panel applications.
.060″ Matte White (1.5mm)
This is our workhorse diffuser material, used for the vast majority of Fluorescent Gallery decorative light panels. At .060″ thick, it is substantially heavier and more durable than many standard lighting lenses, which are often .040″ or thinner.
The smooth matte white finish provides excellent light diffusion and bulb-hiding characteristics, with a clean modern appearance that avoids the heavily textured look associated with many older-style diffuser panels. The material produces a soft, even illumination that works beautifully for decorative backlit applications.
Our premium acrylic panels are designed for long-term performance and will not yellow or become brittle over time like lower-quality plastics. The material is also flexible enough to tolerate normal handling and mild abuse during installation while still remaining rigid enough for most standard ceiling applications.
With the proper equipment, the panels may also be cut to size on-site if needed. A table saw with a fine finishing blade typically provides the best results.
.080″ Matte White (2.0mm)
This is a slightly thicker version of our standard .060″ matte white acrylic, with the same soft diffusion finish. Note – Click Here for sizes larger than 24″ x 24″.
.125″ Matte White (3.0mm)
This is the thickest matte white diffuser acrylic we provide: .125″. Note – Click Here for sizes larger than 24″ x 24″.
Panel Brightnessi
Lightness-Darkness
The Panel Brightness rating assigned to each design is based on the average luminosity (0-Black to 255-White) of the digital artwork file. It can be used as a guideline to predict artwork light reduction of one design compared to another.
| Average Luminosity (0-255) | Assigned Brightness Number | |
|---|---|---|
| Darkest | 1 – 139 | 1 |
| Dark | 140 – 169 | 2 |
| Medium | 170 – 199 | 3 |
| Light | 200 – 219 | 4 |
| Lightest | 220 – 255 | 5 |
Panel Brightness Examples:
#5: Best designs for kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms requiring the brightest light.
#4: Good designs for kitchens and bathrooms or in rooms where high light throughput is desired.
#3: Good for most lighting locations. Can work for kitchens in conjunction with a lot of other light sources (i.e., windows or canned lights).
#2: Not as dark as #1. Requires some task lighting in the room. Used commonly in treatment rooms.
#1: This design selection is for ambient lighting only with several other light sources for tasks.

Our client loves the product! It completely changed the look of their kitchen and brought a modern feel to the space. The light is now softly diffused and the quality of the material is better than expected. They will have these panels for years to come without worrying about yellowing or breakage.

Perfect size and pleasing. Not fancy yet just right. The quality is top notch and not flimsy like the panels at Home Depot which crack and are too thin.
