A wraparound light cover (also called a wraparound diffuser or wraparound lens) is a plastic cover that wraps around three sides of a fluorescent or LED light fixture. It diffuses harsh light and protects the bulbs while giving the fixture a clean, finished appearance. Wraparound covers are one of the most common replacement light covers for offices, schools, and commercial spaces.
Fluorolite carries wraparound replacement covers in standard sizes including 2ft, 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft lengths. We also custom cut to any size — if your fixture is a non-standard dimension, send us the measurements or mail us the broken piece and we’ll replicate it exactly.

Yes — our wraparound diffusers work with both fluorescent and LED tube lights. They help soften and distribute LED light more evenly, reducing glare in offices and workspaces.
A ballast cover or ballast light cover refers to the plastic housing or diffuser panel on a fluorescent fixture that conceals the ballast and tubes. If yours is yellowed, cracked, or missing, Fluorolite can replace it. Send us a photo at csr@fluorolite.com or use our Trace n’Fax service to get an exact match.
Measure the length and width of your existing fixture cover opening. For the most accurate match, you can also trace the broken cover on paper and fax or mail it to us — our Trace n’Fax service is designed specifically for hard-to-find replacement sizes. We’ve been replacing fluorescent light covers for 45+ years and can match virtually any fixture.

Most wraparound covers simply snap or slide into the fixture channels on either side — no tools needed. Remove the old cover by gently pressing inward on the sides and pulling down, then slide the new cover into the same channels.
