Innovative Ideas For Brighter Panels

Light Extraction Film For Highly Efficient Panels

Optrical’s Light Extraction Film (LEF) replaces the expensive patterning on the light guide by a micro-engineered optical film. The LEFis simply cold laminated onto a plain plastic or glass surface.

Light Management Films For Superior Glare Free Panels

In addition to this unique and innovative film for extracting light for the panels, Optrical also offers specially engineered Light Management Films (LMFs) such as “Diffusers” and “Glare Controlling UGR Films”.

Why Use Light Extraction Films ?

Optrical’s Light Extraction Films technology makes your LED panels highly efficient by offering up to 12% additional lumens for the same LED input power. Our ultrafine patterning results in lighter panels by reducing or completely eliminating the optical layers, thus saving the weight and cost. Our mission is to strip the filmic layers from today’s LED panels to offer you the most efficient pure light, simply constructed with fewer materials.

Reduced capEx
Our ultrafine patterning results in lighter panels by reducing or completely eliminating the optical layers, thus reducing/decreasingthe weight and cost. If it’s a technical term, then say “saving weight and cost”

Increased flexibility
A simple one for one replacement, our filmic layers can be attached to any lightguide including PMMA, PC, and even glass. The film is also flexible, allowing extraction of lumens even on a curved surface

The Sectors where we Can Collaborate

Whether you manufacture large panels for the most demanding industrial or commercial applications, smaller panels with required custom shapes and forms, or specialised panels for task lighting; our technology covers it all and offers the most efficient and cost-effective solutions in class.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our Products

Light Extraction Film for Highly Efficient Panels

We design and manufacture our Light Extraction Film (LEF) here in the UK. Creating micro-structures that enable greater lumen output for edge lit fittings, greater flexibility as the film can be adhered to any substrate including glass and curved surfaces and significantly reducing your material cost of bulky plastic diffusers and thicker lightguides/frames. Simply put, if you want a super slim fitting with a greater output, UGR19 and made here in the UK at a lower cost point…you’re in the right place!

Light Management Films for Superior Glare Free Panels

We supplement our innovative light extraction film with specially engineered Light Management Films (LMFs) such as “Specialized Diffusers” and “Glare Controlling UGR Films”, which together with the LED, can produce superior glare free panels. Our films ensure that luminaires comply with EN12464 and IESNA RP1-04 glare specifications and offer a soft cut-off with no colour separation to increase visual appeal and LED hiding ability.

UGR 19 Films


Substitute your 3mm thick prismatic anti-glare sheet with a 150microns thick UGR19 film with superior performance.
