Y5 Refractor
Refractor is a new acrylic material for lighting diffusers. It is pearl in appearance and is suitable for use in modern and high finish architectural commercial buildings.
It features
• High light transmittance – 88%.
• Excellent photometric performance.
• Y5-Fine and Y7-Coarse rib (lineal reed) embossed pattern offers a sleek and modern appearance.
• Offers excellent tube obscuration (reduces tube definition).
• An ideal diffuser for high performance T5 luminaires, but also excellent for T8 tubes.
• Offers even luminance over the entire diffuser.
Properties
The special optical properties are obtained by incorporating spherical, high molecular weight polymer beads with a different refractive index into the acrylic matrix.
The difference in refractive indices changes the direction of light travel within the manufactured part. The net result is an even distribution of light exiting the part.
