Guardian Industries has announced a new product, Anti-Reflective (AR) Glass for Lighting, designed to provide maximum performance and flexibility for lighting applications and offer a single solution to increase light transmission, reduce reflection and increase the efficiency and efficacy of lighting fixtures. Guardian“s AR Glass for Lighting offers a durable, multi-layer, sputtered anti-reflective coating that is applied to Guardian“s own high-quality glass. It is heat treatable, economical and highly effective at reducing reflectance. It also maximizes transmission allowing lighting designers to achieve maximum performance and energy-efficiency with each luminary fixture without impacting the traditional benefits of environmental and mechanical durability seen with using glass lenses. Guardian“s AR Glass for Lighting can be used in a range of lighting applications, including sports lighting, area and flood lighting, roadway lighting, downlighting, industrial and architectural lighting, landscape lighting and residential lighting. Our AR Glass for Lighting provides the ultimate combination of performance, durability and fabrication flexibility to help maximize performance and reduce energy consumption, said Scott Thomsen, group vice president of North American Flat Glass at Guardian. Features of the glass include: o High transmission and low reflectance o Increases fixture efficiency and efficacy o Reduced lead time and inventory o Neutral light transmission o High colour rendering index (CRI) o Environmental and UV durability o Easy retrofitting o Available in fabricated parts o Local supply chains and worldwide service o Available in multiple glass types and thicknesses Guardian AR Glass for Lighting is offered in both single-sided (SS) and double-sided (DS) configurations on a variety of glass formulation options including standard clear, EcoGuard low-iron, Pattern Glass, and SatinDeco (acid-etched) Glass. It can be purchased as end fabricated parts in a variety of shapes and glass thicknesses, thus allowing ultimate flexibility in lighting design.
