Most commonly in offices you will find a spacial distribution of fluorescent lighting that covers a wide area. Office workers will admit; its not the most visually impactful overhead light to gaze upon, but it gets the job done. Nothing too remarkable about office lighting to begin with, but if you’re looking for economy and efficiency you’ll find prismatic diffusers and lenses to be the office solution for you.
The lens is designed more specifically to spread fluorescent light more efficiently, and soften the visible light emitted from fluorescent bulbs. The pyramid shapes bend the the light sharply to one side so light isn’t beaming downward, effectively widening the beam of light.
The cool thing about office lighting
Is that it doesn’t have to be cool. It just has to serve the purpose of lighting desks and offices throughout the day. Prismatic diffusers and lenses are the cats meow of office lighting because they won’t blind or glare at you and your fellow co-workers. That about it.

Prismatic lenses come in two types of materials
- Acrylic- available in different thickness. Most companies go with acrylic because its crystal clear, and requires little maintenance over time. It won’t turn yellow and won’t break unless agitated to the point.
- Polycarbonate- available in different thickness. Works best in places where it may take more abuse. This material can withstand impact up to 10x better than acrylic.
