The invention relates to an acrylic light diffusing material providing spectral uniformity over the visible light range (400 to 800 nm). The light diffusing material provides a uniform light transmission for light engines containing two or more light sources with different spectral emission peaks. Due to its high hiding performance, the light diffusing material of the invention is especially useful with LED point sources. The diffusing material contains a transparent polymer matrix, such as acrylic polymers from Arkema, and one or more types of diffusing materials, providing an optimal balance of spectral uniformity, light transmission, diffusion, and hiding performance.
