Reflective Film
Rough edge
Location of new cut
Clean edge
Cut a 1’ section of Reflective Film and practice installing to get a feeling for how
it bends and forms in the luminaire. The film cannot be corrected if it is bent,
folded, wrinkled, or kinked during installation.
1
Place roll of Reflective Film onto wire puller stand. Gently pull film from roll
and feed to installer as needed. Check that the textured side is facing downward
when pulling.
3
Place beginning edge all the way to the end, so the edge of the film sits flush to
the end cap.
4
At the end of the run, estimate how much more film will be needed. Make small
cuts at the end of the film and test fit it. Repeat if necessary until the film meets
the end cap flush.
5
Check along entire run that Reflective Film is installed correctly. Ensure lens is
not covered by film and that it is securely tucked into each edge along the run.
6
If applicable, cut the end of the sheet so it has a smooth and even edge.
Tip:
Use a tool to ensure an accurate cut.
