This allows you to fully explore the world of light with its volumes and surfaces, transforming the lighting of a space according to your tastes.

RAYCREA panels have no length limits; therefore, they can be used to illuminate both small and very large surfaces. It is also possible to apply them on glass or acrylic structures, as we mentioned already, in order to transform them into real luminous elements.
The function of RAYCREA is to control the angle of the light beam, reducing the glare effect. In the absence of a light source, the model is completely transparent and invisible. Its structure, flexible and thin, is also ideal for applications on curved surfaces and for creating colored light effects.
