Fluorescent light covers have many uses in the home. Sky panels offer an appearance of bright blue skies lighting up your room, while at night you can use a view of starry skies.  Each of these effects is attained by the use of fluorescent light covers. These are printed sheets of flexible polyester that are slipped in between the light source and the diffuser panel of fluorescent and LED ceiling lighting systems.

LED and fluorescent lighting is largely used in factories and offices. In the latter in particular, the lighting tends to be diffused to an even glow by means of frosted diffuser panels. This is an ideal setting for using fluorescent light diffuser panels. The covers are printed to a design of your choice, or you can use one of our standard images, and then slipped into the light panel to be backlit by the source.

Imaginative Uses of Fluorescent Light Covers in Offices

These systems are also used in the home, but they can also be used in some very imaginative ways in offices. First of all, do not think of them as means of lighting or even of their use on ceilings.  Here is one imaginative way you can use fluorescent light covers to greet visitors and promote your products.

Don’t think space lighting, but think of advertising and greetings. Imagine a square pillar in your reception area with four panels, one on each side, fitted with LED or fluorescent lighting sources. Hide these behind diffuser panels and insert a fluorescent light cover between the light diffuser panel and the light source. The cover can be printed with anything you want. Continue reading for innovative office lighting solutions.

Welcome and Impress Important Visitors

A welcome: If you have important visitors, it might be worth $30 or so to have your important visitors’ names backlit to show up brightly when the panels are lit. Their own company name or logo could appear behind the name in a muted colour. You still have three panels to play with, so use one for your mission statement showing up brightly with your own firm’s logo in the background. The other two can be used to show some products or certificates – anything you wish.

You have four panels for each pillar – but also floor to ceiling height to use. You can use 2 of these pillars or however many seems appropriate. You can also, or alternatively, use your walls. Fluorescent light covers are not restricted to ceilings – they can also be used on walls or any other flat surface that can be fitted with fluorescent or LED lighting sources.

Backlit Images on Desks

You could use the sides or back of desks in the office, the ceiling, walls, and even the desktop can be fitted with a durable frosted glass panel with a light source and fluorescent light cover printed with the message or image of your choice. You can use one of ours or design your own. Use your own photographs and image files for us to create a custom light cover for you.

These are just a few imaginative applications of fluorescent light covers in offices. We are sure you can come up with some of your own. Think out of the box. LED and fluorescent light sources are normally used for illumination, and are usually on the ceilings of offices.

Use Light Covers to Impress your Boss and Your Visitors

For unique and imaginative ways of advertising or impressing visitors, light covers can be fitted to any flat surface. How about the floor using toughened glass?  By the side of windows? In restrooms where people have the time to look at them properly!

Think of your own imaginative uses of fluorescent light diffuser panels in offices – your office!  Why not?  If the lighting fitment is there, then the light lens or fluorescent light cover only costs a few dollars – less than $30 in most cases! Use your imagination to impress your boss and your clients with some unique fluorescent light covers in your office.
