Pink Tree Skypanels - Replacement Fluorescent Light Diffuser

We ordered this one and two additional panels with clouds. These had to be cut to size, and I used a oscillation tool for cutting them. I imaging that scoring would produce the same results (if scored deep enough) but I didn't want to take a chance of breaking it beyond the score line.All three panels were cut (6 pieces in total) and were installed in the kitchen. The results were absolutely spectacular, it turned an otherwise plain kitchen into a work of art. Lighting in the kitchen has always been rather harse due to having 4 each 4 foot flourescent bulbs in a small kitchen. The panels changed the lighting so much making it softer and more natural looking than we could've hoped for.My wife absolutely loves it, now its easier on her eyes when she has to do her cooking.......and makes her feel likes she's outdoors. If I could only make it rain every once in a while.

I have 3 panels next to each other and it would have been nice if this design had a set of 3 "matched" panels. (Their web site offers more designs vs what they sell on Amazon) but I used this panel along with the same panel without the "tree" and the Cirrus Clouds panel and it looks great. The picture I attached is lit via a string of LED light which I have around the outline of the panel. When I tried to take a picture with the actual lights on my phone camera couldn't deal with that much light. So the end result is much brighter vs what you see in the picture.

I'm not a fan of fluorescent lights, but that's what I have in my kitchen. When my light diffuser broke, I couldn't find one at Home Depot that would fit the space. I was so happy when my boyfriend found this Skypanel diffuser on Amazon.com. It is so pretty. When it's on, it gives off a bluish tint, which is not the most attractive light, but the Skypanel is mostly blue after all, so I guess that's to be expected. But it's so very pretty and even looks great in the daytime when the light is off. In the gloomy, gray days of late fall and winter, it's lovely to see blue skies and blossoms.

I love the way it looks installed, but the installation is quite difficult. The old panel over the light cracked into 2 pieces when I took it down, which the janitor said was to be expected as it was old. I had no idea the sky panel would be so difficult to cut to size and you risk cracking the whole thing when you are cutting it and installing it as it is quite brittle. You also risk cutting yourself. I taped the old panel together to make a template for cutting the new sky panel. If the company could cut to size that would make it perfect!

I love how my classroom is turning out, but they are not easy to install. I REALLY think they should come in different sizes so you don't have to cut them yourself, it is very hard to do. Where I cut them, they are chipped and cracked along the edges, but luckily it is hidden by the frame. Also, from my experience, there aren't enough clips in the packages to make them all lie smooth / no gaps. Some of them have a ripple in them which means I need to now order more clips. My tips to avoid less injuries are wear goggles and workman gloves and mentally prepare yourself for this task if you don't have a carpenter in your back pocket since the outcome of how they look is worth the blood I have shed.

Very thick panels. Super easy to install and little fear of brittle breaking. Looks amazing!

I liked the product and design of the Sky Panel. It just would not fit into the light area I wanted to use. I was going to return it but noticed it was not free and company wanted it insured. Well, looking at the whole picture it was too expensive for me to return. It was a hard lesson for me and will think twice on another purchase from Amazon.

The sky panels look nice, but they were difficult to use. The plastic is flexible, but also brittle. You can shatter them if you drop the plastic, which is what happened to one of my panels when trying to install it. If you have to cut them down to fit them into your lighting fixture, the score and snap method suggested can be difficult. You must have a work surface large enough to hold the panel and one you won't mind cutting into. I had to cut and recut the panels several times to fit them to the light fixtures. When "snapping" they don't always break smoothly, which left me with some jagged, cracked edges. I think If you have a frame that is the size of the panel and all you have to do is place the panel in the frame, they are great. If you have to adjust the size it is a nightmare.
