Acrylic Lighting Profiles

Acrylic extrusion for lighting – the same PMMA material family, specified here by how it is processed and where it is used in a luminaire.

What we supply

Acrylic and PMMA are the same material family. In lighting extrusion, what matters is not the name but how the acrylic is processed: melt temperature, die design, calibration and cooling decide whether a prism holds its shape, whether a diffuser is free of flow lines, and whether a wide section stays flat.

We run acrylic on lines set up for optical work, with calibration and cooling tuned for the section rather than for general-purpose extrusion. That is what lets us hold prism pitch on a diffuser and keep a wide cover free of sag.

Options we build into the profile

  • Prismatic surfaces for glare control and beam shaping
  • Diffuser grades that hide LED pitch at a set transmittance
  • Tinted acrylic for decorative and architectural luminaires
  • Co-extruded acrylic with an opaque acrylic or PC backing
  • Light-guide sections for edge-lit applications
  • Tubes and half-rounds cut to length

Frequently Asked Questions

They are the same polymer. Acrylic is the common name, PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is the technical name. Both refer to the material we extrude for diffusers, lenses and covers.
Yes, within the limits of the section. Wide flat sections need careful calibration and cooling; we review the drawing and tell you where ribs or a slight crown would help.
Yes. Clear, opal and tinted options are available, and colour can be matched to RAL or Pantone.
