Reflectance Values
Light Reflectance Values (LRV) refers to the total quantity of visible light that when illuminated by a light source is reflected by a surface. LRV runs on a scale from 0% (absolute black) to 100% (perfectly reflective white). However the amount of reflectivity will vary depending on the angle of incidence of the light onto the cladding surface and this must be taken into consideration in using these values.
NB: Slight variations in values may occur between different batches of product due to manufacturing tolerances.
