02 What Types Of Diffuser Materials Are Available For LED Channels?

There are four main types of diffuser/cover in the market: PC, PMMA, Silicone, and PVC. The material covering the LED profile not only has an impact on the light effect but also affects the anti-scratch, anti-extrusion, and anti-aging performance of LED panel lights.
