What’s the difference between polycarbonate and acrylic?
Polycarbonate is resistant to breakage due to impact, and is a good choice for harsh environments. However,polycarbonate is susceptible to ultraviolet radiation, and even though we utilizes polycarbonate with a UV inhibitor, the material will yellow over time. Acrylic is the most common material used for lighting applications. While more prone to breakage than polycarbonate, it will never discolor.
