What are Flat Panel LED Lights?

LED Flat Panel Lights are the perfect energy-efficient indoor lighting. substitution for traditional linear fluorescents in offices, commercial and industrial buildings, educational institutions, and retail. Flat panels, in general, are mostly edge-lit, which makes them incredibly thin, allowing them to work very well in shallow plenum spaces. Many come DLC standard or premium, which means they qualify for money-saving rebates. They’re also rated for nearly 100,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, which means your time (and your customers’) can be put towards things that don’t involve maintenance. Need a 5-year warranty? They’ve got those too.

Should I invest in an LED flat panel instead of an LED troffer?

Flat panels should be considered for every application where you would use a traditional fluorescent troffer. For those looking for LED drop ceiling lights, they also fit into that category, as most troffer light fixtures are also designed to fit snugly into the drop ceilings commonly used in most offices.

Along with some other uniquely shaped flat panels, most lighting manufacturers are producing standard 1x4, 2x2, and 2x4 flat panels so that they can be used in drop ceilings. However, that is not the only application. These LED flat panel lights can also be mounted directly to a drywall ceiling, increasing the possible areas and rooms you’ll be able to use them in. Since they can be as small as 1/2" thick, there is no need to recess them. This fact also greatly expands the diversity of installation possibilities for LED flat panel fixtures. It is possible to mount these to a wall, under a cabinet, or suspend them from the ceiling. Alternatively, if you are simply replacing lighting in a drop-ceiling, flat panels work there too.

If you are looking for the thinnest fixtures(~1/2") then you will need a model described as "Edge Lit". The other option would be "Direct Lit", a model which tends to be closer to 4" thick. Some of these models come with an option to add an emergency backup battery, so keep that in mind for your mounting location, as that can impact whether or not you want to opt for the battery or not.

So, if your lighting project is for a room that is currently using troffers, consider the new flat panel technology as a viable and generally more energy efficient option. There are dozens of flat panel light products available for purchase right now on Lightingandsupplies.com.
