If you are looking for a high-quality acrylic replacement lens, we offer three options:
.060″ Matte White Acrylic
This is our workhorse material, used for 90% of our prints. It is relatively thick compared to other lighting lens products, which can be .040 and thinner. It is pliable enough to be carefully maneuvered into a fixture during installation and can be cut to size with a reasonable amount of skill.
.080″ Lumieo
Lumieo® is a premium white acrylic sheet that provides both high transmission and excellent lamp-hiding capabilities. The diffusion comes from a combination of a very fine surface texture and special diffusing additives. It is a more rigid material than our .060 white acrylic. We print on it upon request or when a larger size dictates it. Low inventory and temporarily available only for panels sized to require it.
.125″ Lumieo
This is the thickest light lens diffuser material we provide. Lumieo .125 is quite durable and has a beautiful diffusing quality, much like the .080 product. The option to purchase this thickness is restricted to truly oversized panels. If the size requires it, it will appear as the Print Medium option. Examples: 42″ x 32″ and 34″ x 34″.
For more information on these acrylic choices, visit Acrylic Panel Options.
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.

The .080 Lumieo panels transmit the full spectrum of light and disperse it very well with our chosen 5000K LED tubes. The whole, slightly smaller than the standard panel lights up nearly uniformly with the center area closest to the tube only being a small amount brighter than the outer edge areas. The panels look good with dimmer control as well.
Custom cutting worked out great with this process: measured the minimum width an length of the mounting holders that keep the panel over the opening. Order panels 1/4 inch smaller than the measurement. This leaves 1/8" gap at each end so they fit without any uncovered edges on the opening. Measure the opening to ensure the ordered size is larger than the opening in both directions.
Installation was easy by flexing the long edge with the center area bowed downward. The the panel can be raised up with the panel at an angle along the width. This way it clear all around.

I love the new (.080 Lumieo) light panels!
Tom (verified owner) –
I have ordered many of these over the years for various lighting uses and projects. Always a perfect product for my purposes with perfect packaging and response time.
Brian T (verified owner) –
I love the modern look of the .080 Lumieo panels over the previous hard rough surface builders panel. When off it disappears and when on it flows smoothly.
Philip (verified owner) –
Great product. It's unfortunate that you have to order two (2) due to shipping charges, since only needed one, but these acrylic sheets are of very high quality. There is no comparison to the sheets that have been used in homes in the 1980's and 1990's when tube fluorescent lights were common. These sheets are much easier to handle, and they let more light through than what we had previously. I would highly recommend this product and this company.

Great replacement for the old, thin, yellowed, brittle lenses. Kitchen is much brighter, and the new lenses diffuse the light perfectly. They were packed well, everything was great.
John V (verified owner) –
They worked like a charm.

I am happy with the panels. Install was simple and they look great.

Ordered customs cut size acrylic lenses to replace the saggy outdated lenses in the kitchen. They were cut perfectly to size and make the kitchen look much nicer.

They are everything we have dreamed of!

I'm very pleased both times with the results when replacing two panels in my kitchen as I broke one of the panels and had to order it again. Paula walked me through the process, the customer service was exceptional.
John S (verified owner) –
Ordered five .080 Lumieo Acrylic panels cut to size, every panel fit perfectly. The light these panels produce is beautiful.
Jay M (verified owner) –
Excellent quality. Cut to order. My first shipment was damaged so they replaced the panels for no charge.
Erica (verified owner) –
Great, and easy to cut off if it doesn’t quite fit like one of our panels did. Very happy with the purchase. Great look and quality.
William T (verified owner) –
I love it! Replaced old textured clear panels like you̓d find at the big boxes. These are so much more posh. They manage to simultaneously soften the industrial look while ̓sharpening̓ the overall look of my 70̓s derived/inspired interior. Perfect fit. Cut to perfection. Excellent materials. Upon installation, I literally shouted "I love it!"

I ordered three custom-cut .080 replacement lenses for my non-standard bathroom fixtures. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the product and service provided by Fluorescent Gallery. The lens were cut exactly to my measurements, were as advertised, and arrived before I expected them. I found the information on the website very helpful in making my selection. The lenses were packed very well. The cost. including packing and shipping, seemed high, but is worth it in the end. I could find no other source locally or online to match the offerings of this company.
Susan S –
They look great! So much better than the cheap textured sheets they sell at the big box store. I followed the chart to get the correct fit and it was perfect. Thank you.
Rebecca H (verified owner) –
The panels worked perfectly for my needs. Way better than the panels I had before. Panels are sturdy and easy to install, and the light comes through nicely. Would recommend!
Sara (verified owner) –
Everything was EASY and PERFECT!!! Thank you so much!!!
Robert A (verified owner) –
I could not be happier! They were easy to install, fit great, and look wonderful.
Richard D (verified owner) –
Your website is easy to use and instructions were excellent. My panels arrived earlier than expected and in good condition. The panels are thicker than what I tried to use from the hardware store. So happy with the custom fit. I have kept your site in my records. Thanks for the good work.
Kathryn N –
I am so glad to have found you . I tried getting the panels at home depot's . They were not the quality I was looking for. The panels are up and I am loving them. Thanks again for your help. Custom order was what I needed. The panels give my kitchen a warm glow.
Ami M (verified owner) –
These look so much nicer than typical fluorescent lenses. Couldn't be happier!
Karen G (verified owner) –
The product was as described, ,measured perfectly, and looks great. It also arrived quicker than expected.
Keith G (verified owner) –
Excellent product and outstanding service
Jeff S (verified owner) –
The panels arrived in great condition and well protected. They were custom cut perfectly. We had no issues with the installation and they look great. I do wish they distributed the light more evenly like an LED panel light would. But we came close and it was a much easier retro fit.
Carmen –
Panels worked and fit exactly as expected. The acrylic panels were thick enough and still lets plenty of light through from the skylight.
Sally –
Fit perfectly in our fixture; like how bright the light shines through the panels. Hope it stays this bright white as time goes on...the panels we replaced were not purchased through Flourescent Gallery and had yellowed considerably over time. Very satisfied with ship time as well.
Dianne –
Very nice panels, although we decided to order 1 and cut it half ourselves, which we struggled with. Not as easy as it sounds. Would definitely buy again.
Spencer S (verified owner) –
Paula was a pleasure to work with. She helped me through the process of measuring and selecting the correct product. The lenses were cut exactly to my measurement. Production was prompt and shipping fast. The lenses were packed extremely well and arrived undamaged. The lenses transmit plenty of light and look terrific.
Ron Fowles (verified owner) –
The owner is very happy with the effect created by the panels {48" x 48" .125" Lumieo]. From an installation standpoint we struggled with size panels versus allowable space needed to install without the panels being either too big or too small.
Rex C (verified owner) –
In the 30+ years we have been doing this I have never installed lens covers [.080 Lumieo] like yours. The effect was great. We will be in touch again if needed. Aloha
Paul B (verified owner) –
The lens was exactly what i wanted and worked well. Will use your company again.
Monique T (verified owner) –
These panels are the perfect milky white and a good thickness for my suspended ceiling. Lots of light shines through to illuminate the cooking area of the kitchen.
I requested a number of special cuts and the service was excellent and everything shipped fast. I am very pleased with the wonderful customer service.
