SLP Introduces Microprism!

Microprism is a prismatic lens with precisely formed miniature diamond shaped male prisms aligned perpendicular to both the width and length of the sheet. It is aesthetically pleasing; offering reduced luminance and lamp image while maintaining exceptional light transmission.

Eliminates the need for overlays
Perfect for direct/indirect applications
Up to 85%-90% light transmission
Available in both clear acrylic and frosted.


		Panel Sizes - 23-3/4" x 47-3/4" (603 x 1213mm) Thickness - 0.080" (2.0 mm)

SLP's Prismatic Lenses

Characteristics:

Flat sheet of plastic. Usually clear or white with the exception of the mirror panel (not used with lamps). Available in various patterns

- Pattern 12, 15, 19
- Cracked Ice

With certain patterns, the lamp image is reduced.

Functionality:

The distribution of the light is skewed
depending on the pattern of the lens. Random and uncontrolled distribution creates a bright area of light.

Ideal Applications:

Where maximum light transmission and concealment of lamps is needed.

Pattern 12

Prismatic Pattern 12 is undoubtedly the most widely recognized lighting medium available. This extruded lens features .187" (4.7mm) female conical prisms that offer excellent efficiencies while maintaining 87% of the light output in the 0-60 degree zone. PR12 is available in numerous thicknesses, materials and panel sizes.

Pattern 15

SLP's extruded Prismatic Pattern 15 is designed specifically to span large openings without any objectionable sag. The 3/8" (9.5mm) square based female prisms not only provide structural rigidity but also offer an orderly appearance. PR15 is the only lens for large openings that offers high efficiencies, controlled luminance and rigidity.

Pattern 19 Prismatic Lens

Pattern 19

SLP's extruded Prismatic Pattern 19 lens offers the light control of an injection molded lens at a fraction of the cost. The 3/16" (4.7mm) square based male prisms suppress luminance at critical angles and delivers 92% of the light output to the 0-60 degree zone. PR19 is one of the best alternatives when brightness control is a consideration but parabolic louvers are not required.
