Acrylic is a lightweight and durable synthetic material widely used in lighting design due to its high transparency and versatility. It offers a glass-like clarity but is more durable and shatter-resistant than glass, allowing it to be shaped into various forms and colors to meet different design needs. Its weather resistance and UV protection make acrylic lighting suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and it is easy to clean and maintain. With its modern aesthetic and practicality, acrylic is a popular choice in home decor.
