Luminit DTF (Direction Turning Film)

Luminit's DTF is a non-symmetrical linear micro prismatic that imparts a 20 degree shift in the angle of a semi-collimated light source.  The DTF works well with LED light sources that utilize secondary optics.  Some applications include recessed can lights to allow more wall washing, pathway/stairway lighting and pool lighting.
