GlareControl – More controlled light, less glare

BASF GlareControl film combines glare reduction with highest aesthetical optics in one endless and truly seamless product.

The invisible patterns reduce glare in angles above 65° and increase light intensity in lower angular ranges.  That leads to improved efficiency and UGR-ratings of your luminaire body, making it ideal for office lighting applications. Suitable for applications with UGR<19 requirements.
