Jacaranda Tree Skypanels - Replacement Fluorescent Light Diffuser

I bought one of these for my mom's room in a long term care facility. First of all, it takes the glare out of florescent lights, secondly, it casts a calming blue light to reduce anxiety and stress, and then it beautifies the room by adding something mesmerizing to look at. Mom was thrilled with the effect it's having in her room and I was extremely happy about what it was doing for mom. However, putting all of this aside, the team at SkyPannels was so responsive and helpful with my order. One quick email to them with a question and I received a detailed response in a clear and concise manner. Then, they thanked me not once but each time we communicated. Thank you for an extremely high-quality product at a very reasonable price.

This should actually be rated at 4.5 stars, so I have to go with the lower of the two.First, all of the positives:- This diffuser did the job perfectly. No more harsh industrial light in my small office. Plus, not having any windows, it does give me a sense that there is life out there.- This was shipped on time and packaged exceptionally well.- The light given is very soft and relaxing.- I get to use a small desk lamp for a little extra light.Now, the negatives:- This did not fit my standard office fixture. Having a different size to order would have been helpful. I ended up with some scratches on while trying to cut it that show. I tell people that they are vapor trails from airplanes.So, one little negative for an otherwise really cool product. I have had a lot of co-workers look upon this with envy.

We received our three Sky Panels (Cumulus I, Cumulus II, and the beautiful Jacaranda Tree) last night and couldn't wait to install them! We bought them just 7 days ago and had them custom cut and shipped across the country! We cannot believe how fast that whole process was! I read other reviews on Amazon prior to purchasing and people were so upset about how long the shipping took, our took less than a week!!! After purchasing the panels on Amazon, I then went on to the retailers website and purchased the custom cutting option and had them link it to my order. For everyone who is scared to cut their own panels...this is the best $5 I ever spent at the risk of ruining my panel. The customer service was so helpful and I cannot thank them enough!The panels absolutely transformed our basement from the boring, normal fluorescent lights to a beautiful sky scene! I am obsessed with clouds and this makes me so happy now to see these lights in our house! I am fully recommending this product to anyone out there!!! Thank you sooooo much!

I put them up above our CTscan machine so the patients didn't have to feel like they were being interrogated. Everyone seems to love them and it settles their nerves a great deal.I had to trim them a bit. I scored them with a utility knife using the old panel as a straight edge. It took two steady scores to enable the panel to snap easily. It isn't so brittle that it breaks against the cut. It is a bit more rubbery like so it is really easy to do.They also weren't as dark as I was hoping, but that maybe because our walls are an ugly color that may wash out the blue a bit. But overall they are fantastic and a really nice upgrade.

Had to trim it tiny bit, but it’s beautiful.Note that it does reduce light output a small amount.

My office installed modern LED lighting, which is advertised as being closer to natural sunlight, that may be so, but few of us sit out in the midday sun to work. The addition of blue sky, clouds, balloons, kites, Jacaranda, Pink and Palm Trees softens the light. Some of our staff had complained of headaches, which have now gone away. A remarkable and economical way to transform the office.UPDATE July 2014: We have had the Skypanels for over a year now and everyone still loves them. We had an issue with some panels falling down and breaking, and we traced the cause issue to the vibration of our building by traffic along 5th Avenue in Manhattan. One of our maintenance staff subsequently used silicon to adhere the panels to the light fixture and the problem has been solved. The silicone can be cut with a utility knife should the need arise.

Panel arrived rolled in a large box, so I thought it was going to be hard to put in the light box, but it flattened out overnight with no problems. My box is just under 2' x 4' and the panel fits perfectly without cutting so I can't comment on the trimming aspect. Looks great in the kitchen but I'm going to have to change out the tubes to more of a bright white than the softer ones I had previously so that the room is the same brightness. I just ordered another one but without the tree and a lot more clouds so that the kitchen won't seem dimmer. It certainly transforms the light fixture, for sure!!

I have these on the lights in my office. They cut the glare, but cast a very blue light. They were easy enough to install but I'm a fairly handy guy. You will need a sharp exacto blade and a good flat surface to work on.
