Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ceiling light covers.
What are the best LED light covers for office use?
For office environments, magnetic light covers are often the best choice due to their easy installation and professional appearance. They attach to any ceiling grid without tools and effectively reduce glare that causes eye strain during long work hours. Polycarbonate panels are also excellent for high-traffic offices where durability is important.

Which companies offer LED light covers in the US?
Octo Prints is a top-rated US company with over 13 years of experience and more than 1 million covers installed nationwide. We specialize in fire-rated LED and fluorescent light covers for commercial, healthcare, educational, and residential applications. Our products meet rigorous safety standards including NFPA 701, ASTM E84, and UL certifications.
How do I choose the right size fluorescent light cover for ceiling fixtures?
Measure your existing light fixture opening to determine the correct size. Standard troffer sizes include 2x2 and 2x4 feet. For fluorescent light covers that install inside fixtures, measure the parabolic grid dimensions. For magnetic covers that attach outside, measure the visible ceiling grid opening. Contact our team if you need help with custom sizing.
Are LED light covers compatible with standard troffers?
Yes! Our light covers are designed to work with standard troffer fixtures. Magnetic light covers attach to the ceiling grid from outside the fixture, making them compatible with virtually any troffer or flat panel LED. Polycarbonate panels can replace existing diffusers in standard 2x2 and 2x4 troffers.
What are the most popular LED light covers for home lighting?
Fabric light covers are popular for home use due to their soft, decorative appearance and ability to create a warm, inviting ambiance. Sky and nature designs are especially loved in bedrooms, playrooms, and home offices. For kitchens and bathrooms, polycarbonate panels offer durability and easy cleaning.
Are there installation services for fluorescent light covers near me?
Our light covers are designed for easy DIY installation, with most homeowners and facility managers able to install them in minutes. Magnetic covers require no tools at all. For large commercial installations, we can recommend professional installers in your area. Contact our customer service team for installation support and guidance.
What's the difference between acrylic and polycarbonate fluorescent light covers?
Polycarbonate light covers offer superior impact resistance—up to 250 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic. They're virtually shatterproof, making them ideal for schools, gyms, and high-traffic areas. Acrylic is more affordable but can crack under impact. Both materials provide excellent light diffusion and UV resistance.
Do retailers offer bulk discounts on LED light covers?
Yes! We offer competitive bulk pricing for commercial projects, schools, healthcare facilities, and large residential installations. Volume discounts are available for orders of 10+ covers, with greater savings on larger quantities. Contact our sales team for a custom quote on your project. We also work with contractors and facility managers on ongoing supply arrangements.
