The diffuser sheet is taped tight at the ends, with some small pieces of double sided tape in the middle at some of the cutouts to make sure it sits flat. And the lights are double sided tapes every foot or so along the lenght to make sure they sit flat. Plus far away you won't notice any distortion. We also run pneumatic and power wires up the same rails, and if you look up close you can see the shadows from them in the lights. However from more then 3 feet away its not noticeable.
