About Honeylite
HONEYCOMB: The "honeycomb" material that is the basis of our products was originally developed as a
low density-high strength core for structural use, primarily for the aircraft industry. Utilizing it's intrinsic
characteristics, we have developed a family of effective and versatile glare control devices.
REDUCE GLARE: Honeylite louvers help control brightness from a variety of light sources. Whether you
are a lighting designer or a manufacturer, we can help you control glare. From MR11 point sources to
studio high output fluorescent fixtures, we have louvers and accessories tailored to the application
LEADTIMES: Honeylite products are primarily produced on a made-to-order basis. While some popular
products are available from stock, leadtimes range from 2-4 weeks and depend on quantities. Products
like MR16 louvers and accessories are available typically in 2 weeks, while framed louvers made to a
customer’s specifications have 4 week leadtimes.
CUSTOM: We specialize in custom applications, so if you don't see what you need, contact us. Our skilled
craftspeople take pride in producing products with the highest quality of workmanship.
Honeylite Basics
The degree of cut-off or shielding is determined by the honeycomb cell diameter and depth, as shown
below in the table and in the illustration at right. Specific products will require specific cell and depth
dimensions. For example, an MR16 louver uses a 1/8" x .125 louver which gives a 45 degree cut-off.
Consult the factory for special cut-off requirements.
Note that because of the thin material used to make our louvers, all Honeylite louvers offer high "open
area." This means you can achieve glare control with very little loss of light. Open areas are shown in the
table below.

Honeylite louvers and accessories are available in a Milbrite (MLB) clear aluminum finish or black (BLK).
Machined parts such as an MR16 Holder have a black anodized finish. All other parts are coated with our
proprietary polymer coating, Borden Black. Our polymer coating chemically grafts to the substrate, has
superior abrasion resistance while being able to withstand 350°F with no out-gassing and has very low
VOC's. (Note that some accessory parts are supplied with a finely textured powder coat.) Standard finish
is eggshell.
TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS: Honeylite louvers can withstand temperatures up to 350°F, meeting the
need of most lamp sources. Operating at higher temperatures for extended periods of time will result in
the louver blades separating.
