Common components can offer uncommon efficiencies and performance advantages. Take glass, for example, a key component in lighting applications. Guardian brings glass innovation to what others take for granted. Our anti-reflective glass solutions for lighting offer maximum performance and flexibility for a wide range of lighting applications. Name your lighting application – sports, flood, area, roadway, or industrial – and we have a solution with greater performance and efficiencies. Want to: • Increase light transmission and reduce reflection? • Enhance the efficiency and efficacy of lighting fixtures and still enjoy environmental benefits and mechanical durability from using glass? • Decrease lead-times and inventory costs? Build for Durability & Performance Our anti-reflective coating is applied to our own high- quality glass – heat-treatable, economical, reducing reflec- tance. In fact, our glass maximizes transmission – giving you a one-two punch that achieves optimized design performance while ensuring energy-efficiency with each luminary fixture. Imagine the possibilities. You can: • Increase spacing between fixtures, achieving desired lighting result with fewer fixtures in total. • Enjoy lower initial installation costs, less maintenance and reduced energy consumption. Choices & Options Our solutions come in both single-sided (SS) and double-sided (DS) configurations on a variety of glass options including standard clear, low iron, as well as patterned and SatinDeco (acid etched). We provide fabricated parts and lead-times as low as 10 days, giving you increased flexibility in sourcing and inventory. Count on Guardian’s AR glass for lighting for the right combination of performance, durability and fabrication flexibility in maximizing your performance and reducing energy consumption.

Guardian Anti-Reflective Glass for Lighting
Get the Most Out of Your Lighting
Guardian creates AR Coating for Lighting products by vacuum depositing a multilayer anti-reflective coating developed at our Science & Technology Center onto our own high-quality glass. The glass itself is stringently specified and selected to ensure overall quality meets customer specifications. Automated in-line optical inspec-tion throughout the float glass manufacturing, coating,
and fabrication processes ensures quality, uniformity, and consistency of final product. Guardian is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of advanced glass products, with locations around the world.
