Stained Glass Light Covers: The Glow of a Window, No Glass Required

Get the jewel-tone glow of a stained glass window from an ordinary drop ceiling. Our stained glass fluorescent light covers print bold faux stained glass patterns on backlit film that lays right on the lens of your 2x4, 2x2, or 1x4 troffer.

Overview

How Faux Stained Glass Ceiling Lights Work

Real stained glass is heavy, fragile, and expensive to put in a ceiling. A stained glass light cover gives the same effect with none of that: the fixture light shines through the printed pattern, so every panel of color glows like leaded glass, and the film spreads harsh fluorescent output into a softer light.

Rich, Glowing Color

Deep reds, golds, and blues come alive when backlit, just like a church or Tiffany-style window.

Light and Safe

No glass overhead. Each cover is 8 mil backlit film that is ASTM E84 / UL 723 fire-rated.

Easy Lay-In Install

Rest the cover on the existing diffuser and close the fixture. See our installation guide.

Churches and Offices

Stained Glass Ceiling Light Panels for Churches, Libraries, and Offices

Fellowship halls, church offices, and libraries often have standard drop ceilings that do not match the character of the building. Stained glass light covers bring that character up to the ceiling, glowing like a window even in interior rooms.

Because they lay on the existing lenses, there is no glass to hang and nothing to wire, so a volunteer can update a room in minutes. For a softer mix, pair them with cloud light covers in nearby fixtures.
