Auburn Hills, Mich.(November 1, 2010) – Guardian Industries  today 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.

Features of the glass include:


  • High transmission and low reflectance

  • Increases fixture efficiency and efficacy

  • Reduced lead time and inventory

  • Neutral light transmission

  • High color rendering index (CRI)

  • Environmental and UV durability

  • Easy retrofitting

  • Available in fabricated parts

  • Local supply chains and world-wide service

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.
