What Is Frosted Magnetic Flood Strip Light: Core Definition

A frosted magnetic flood strip light is a magnet-mounted linear fixture with frosted diffuser for wide even non-glare illumination. Unlike regular transparent magnetic strip lights that produce sharp light spots, this product uses integrated frosted PC diffuser to eliminate glare and light shadow gaps along the entire strip surface. In practice, our C-STAR Lighting R&D team found that the 2mm thick frosted diffuser we adopted can reduce glare value by 72% compared with transparent diffuser models, reaching UGR <19 which meets office and retail lighting requirements.
