What are some of the material options I can choose for my LED lighting projects?
With the introduction of Spectar Stratus, Eastman offers light-diffusing technology for extruded and injection molded parts. Best of all, our options still allow optimum light transmission while “hiding” the light source.
Few things are as important to architectural spaces as lighting. Certainly, light helps make an area safer, healthier, more comfortable, and more useful. But light also carries an emotional appeal. The right lighting can soothe or excite us; it inspires us and makes us more productive; and it connects us to the space. As such, creative lighting is a crucial part of any brand experience in retail or work environments.
Currently, Eastman offers several options for creating LED light diffusers:
- Eastman Spectar™ Stratus copolyester—even diffusion, maximum LED light transmission
- Eastman Spectar Frost™ copolyester—thermoformable, matte finish
- Eastman Tritan™ copolyester—high-temperature applications
- Eastman Spectar™ copolyester (clear and white available)—traditional diffuser material
- Eastman Provista™ copolymer—profiles
- Eastman Spectar UV™ copolyester—ultraviolet protection
