Light diffusers can give your LED lights a more consistent and balanced brightness, giving them a more even look. Our lighting diffusing materials can be custom cut to any shape, size, or design that you require.
Shape the Light emitted from your LEDs
LED Optical Materials are a broad range of films or foils designed to shape the light emitted from a LED assembly. Many LED applications require the Light to be shaped by diffusion, reflection, incidence creating beam angles.
Here at Materials Direct, we understand which materials are best for optimising the quality, performance, and shape of your LED Lighting. Therefore we provide our clients with the highest quality LED optical materials, custom cut to meet your specification.

LED Protection
Protecting your LEDs can improve the quality and lifespan of your lighting design. Environmental dangers and moisture can cause damage to your LEDs. Dust also causes a lack of brightness and result in heat build-up.
You can protect your LEDs with optical plastic sheet materials 1mm-5mm thickness such as polycarbonate etc, specially designed to prolong the life of your LED lighting Systems.
Clear protective materials are often manufactured into custom covers for LED applications used specifically to environmentally seal against moisture, dust, or chemical ingress.

Custom Light Diffusers
Light emitted from an LED is typically very directional as it is a type of Laser. The light however can be conditioned to become homogenized into a unified light output using light diffusers. This will remove or reduce the “spotting” effect of the LED.
Reflective Lighting Materials
Reflective Lighting materials used in the LED assembly can assist with the light output as well as blank out unwanted views of complementary electronic components such as connectors, resistors, and control IC’s.
There is a high demand for brighter, more efficient LED lighting, and with reflective lighting materials, you can achieve a more vibrant and enhanced LED assembly.
Anti-Glare Films
Anti-Glare films can also be used to assist diffusion if area lighting requires it. Whilst there is a desire for brightness, glare can cause lights to be unpleasant to look at, or cause strain on the eyes.
With Anti-glare materials, you can prevent glare without compromising the level of light you wish to display. You can still achieve fantastic brightness with anti-glare protection.
Light Shaping Films
Control the shape and direction of your LED lighting systems with light shaping films. With light shaping films, you can direct light into a narrow elliptical shape, from light bars to circular beam angles.
Our light shaping films can also be used to deflect light by 20 degrees, should you need to wash a wall in light without the use of special lenses.
