Soften light with vinyl?

[Bengt Backhaus]

One of my biggest clients emailed me this question:
"Can you soften the light in my office with some kind of vinyl?"

Has anyone done somethiing similar?

I'm thinking that it might be enough to put white vinyl over it, matte not to stick out in the ceiling.

If you're able to get between the light and the cover, then a cine lighting gel sheet will give you more than a few options, and will be fire/heat resistant. https://www.rosco.com/sites/default/files/content/resource/2023-01/Rosco_Diffusion_Comparison.pdf

Try a translucent white on one panel to get an impression of what it will look like, they are matte and will blend into the panels nicely, I think.

Depending on how much you need, there is Spandex IP 2516 PA with PerfectApply adhesive, but I think it comes in 50 m rolls only.
An ordinary translucent white would probably work fine too, like IP T5701 for example, and it can be obtained in small quantities.

I'll order some 5701 from Spandex and check.

Ja hej på dej, Bengt, från södra Halland.

Yes I think it is worth a try.
No air channels but not too difficult to apply dry.

Please let us know the result.
