Description
Cracked Ice Clear Acrylic Lighting Panels feature a textured, irregular surface that scatters light for even, comfortable illumination. The cracked-ice embossing reduces hot spots and hides lamp images while maintaining strong light transmission, making them ideal for overhead troffers and ceiling diffusers in both LED and fluorescent fixtures.
Panels are stocked in standard grid ceiling sizes, but manufactured slightly undersized to ensure an easy drop-in fit: 23.75" x 23.75" for 2' x 2' fixtures and 23.75" x 47.75" for 2' x 4' fixtures. Made from durable, non-yellowing acrylic, they are lightweight, impact resistant, and easy to trim for custom installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cracked ice lighting panel?
A cracked ice panel uses an irregular textured surface to scatter and soften light. This reduces glare and masks the appearance of bulbs, producing more uniform illumination across the fixture.
Why is the actual size smaller than 24" x 24" or 24" x 48"?
The panels are intentionally manufactured undersized—23.75" x 23.75" and 23.75" x 47.75"—to ensure they easily drop into standard 2' x 2' and 2' x 4' ceiling grid systems without binding.
Can this panel be used with LED fixtures?
Yes. The panel is compatible with LED and fluorescent fixtures. The textured surface improves uniformity when paired with directional LED light sources.
How do I cut or modify the panel for a custom fit?
Panels can be cut with a utility knife (score and snap), table saw, or circular saw with a fine-tooth blade. Support the panel and cut slowly to prevent chipping.
