Palm Tree Skypanels - Replacement Fluorescent Light Diffuser

The lights in my office have been giving me headaches off-and-on, and some research indicated that I could filter them with positive results. These worked well; the light, while dimmed slightly, is much less jarring/harsh, and colors are truer to themselves. Plus, when winter is upon us and all is grey and gross, I only have to look upwards to imagine that I'm actually at a tropical resort instead of slogging away at my desk.

The only reason I don't give these five stars is the installation piece. They say they will "replace" the current light panel, but, they really won't. They aren't strong enough so it's better to keep the existing, ugly and yellowed, plastic light cover there, behind this one, so there is enough support for it. That said, installation isn't as easy peasy as I thought. I ended up paying $60 in labor to replace three light covers. Granted, I'm a female w/ few skills, but, it took 90 min to replace three light covers. So this isn't a simple "Slide in and out" job. All in all, I'm pleased w/ them, though they are not cheap. Every single one had to be cut to size, which added to the labor cost. If you are a do it your selfer, you will have a better experience.

We first bought one to see how it would work, and we loved it so much that we bought three more to finish off the entire kitchen. Everyone who has come to the house has made comments about how cool they are. We were going to spend a fortune and redo our lighting, but we went this route instead and are so glad we did. So much cheaper, plus what a great feel it's brought to our kitchen! Amazing product!

So other reviews said it was easy to cut and put up if it needed to be fit. Yup, well we are not engineers but I brought a big new sharp blade for the task and it wasn't enough. Me, three coworkers and several different options were all on hand for the project and even after a trip to buy something even bigger and sharper the thing cracked around the corners and tore in several places in the corner. If its not the exact size and you aren't a handy person than I might suggest you skip this. The part that is really quite nice. Did not cut the glare as much as I had hoped but it definitely is an improvement and is a sweet touch to an old, dated office.

Very disappointing. The finish on these are glossy and it reflects back. Would have been better in a matte finish

The idea is great but the implementation is not so much. I was expecting higher printing resolution, crisper image, and more vivid colors to give you more believable feeling. Unfortunately, the quality of image is not that great. If the ceiling is not high you can even see the print dots/texture which makes it look cheap and fake.The quality of the actual item is far less than what you see in its advertising pictures.Besides, if you want to order multiple panels, they don't bundle them together to reduce the shipping cost. You have to pay the shipping cost for each one separately.

I bought two skypanels that enhance my massage room. My clients marvel at how they contribute to the peaceful environment. [...] shows a picture of the effect they have on the room. It softens the harsh florescent office lights and picks up on the colors in the room. Actually, the panels came first. They inspired the course I took in the room decor. But there is a wide range of selections, thus they can fit many decoration styles. If I had multiple massage rooms, I'd make one for several natural environments--mountains, flowers, desert oasis, . . .They were installed early 2010. They still look as vibrant as ever.

I was surprised to see so many people struggled with the installation of these.It was really pretty easy--and they look amazing!I am a 58 year old woman and I installed two of these myself.So...here are a few things:1. GET A GOOD UTILITY KNIFE. I got one for about fifteen bucks on Amazon.2. You will need to score ---DEEPLY---where you want to cut it. If you do this CORRECTLY, it will simply snap off. Someone mentioned many little pieces and shards...baloney. SCORE it. DEEPLY. You should make several passes with the blade.3. Change the blade FREQUENTLY.4. Someone was confused about the little clips--they came free with the panels. Those should be inserted between the sky panel and the frame. (They should not be visible) This gives extra support to the panel so it doesn't bowI found the print to be colorful and clear (not grainy as some said). I couldn't be more pleased!
