LED Flat Panel
Panel lighting is designed for both residential and commercial applications.
This type of lighting fixture is designed to replace conventional fluorescent ceiling lights and is intended for installation in suspended grid ceilings or recessed ceilings.LED panel lighting delivers a smooth, uniform wall of illumination without visible bulbs or hot spots.
