Flat Panel Lights

Edge-lit and back-lit light panels look similar to the average person; however, they are designed differently. The primary difference is the placement of the LEDs. As the names suggest, edge-lit panels have LEDs around the perimeter of the fixture. Back-lit panels have LEDs positioned on the back of the fixture, and there is no light guide in back-lit panels. Additionally, in back-lit panels, the driver is more integrated into the fixture’s frame for a lower profile.

• Single CCT LED panel lights provide a fixed color temperature, which is ideal for spaces needing consistent lighting, such as offices or retail stores. They are easy to install and cost-effective, offering a stable light quality without needing adjustments.
• Selectable CCT panels allow users to choose between preset color temperatures, making them versatile for multi-purpose spaces like conference rooms or schools. This option provides the flexibility to adapt the lighting to different tasks or preferences.
• Tunable CCT panels offer full control over the color temperature range, from warm to cool, using a dimmer or smart control system. Perfect for dynamic environments, they support circadian lighting and can be adjusted in real time to suit changing needs.

When selecting LED panel lights, understanding the available dimming options is essential for achieving the desired lighting environment. The choice of dimming option depends on the specific requirements of the application:

• 0-10V Dimming is best suited for large-scale commercial installations where precise control and integration with existing building management systems are required. 0-10V dimming provides continuous and flicker-free dimming, ideal for applications where precise light level control is needed. 0-10V works well with compatible dimmer switches and control systems, often used in commercial settings such as offices, schools, and retail spaces.
• Remote-controlled dimming allows users to control lighting from anywhere within the range of the remote or app, making them ideal for large spaces or hard-to-reach installations where hardwired controls are not feasible. Simple setup and user-friendly controls make this an accessible option. Some remote controls use PWM dimming for fine control over light intensity without flicker.

By selecting the appropriate dimming option, users can enhance the functionality and energy efficiency of their LED panel lights while creating the desired ambiance in any space.

An LED panel consumes significantly less energy compared to a fluorescent fixture, while providing similar or even higher light output. The table below shows approximate* LED equivalents for various fluorescent wattages.

*Exact wattages may vary based on the specific fixture. Check product specifications for details.
