What are LED Panel Lighting Fixtures?

LED light panels are commercial fixtures engineered for installation inside dropped ceiling and suspended ceiling systems. These low-profile LED ceiling panels serve as direct replacements for outdated fluorescent panels and troffer lights while offering surface mounting capabilities for solid ceilings.

With their ultra-thin design profile measuring just 0.75 inches thick, they excel in applications where ceiling clearance is limited. Modern interiors benefit from their sleek aesthetics, which simultaneously enhance ambiance and deliver superior functional illumination.

LED Panels Before And After

What Are The Benefits of Using LED Panel Lighting versus Fluorescent Troffers?

Energy Savings / Efficiency	High-efficiency LED panels reduce energy use by 50% or more compared to fluorescent troffers. A 36W LED panel replaces a 72W fluorescent fixture while delivering the same or better illumination.
Lighting Quality	LED flat panels provide high CRI (80+) illumination with consistent color over their 50,000+ hour life. Unlike fluorescents, LEDs do not yellow or shift color as they age.
Lower Maintenance Costs	Long-life LEDs eliminate tube and ballast replacements. Facilities typically reduce lighting maintenance expenses by 70–80% over the system’s lifetime.
No Strobing or Humming	LED panels operate with zero flicker and no ballast noise. This eliminates workplace discomfort caused by failing fluorescent ballasts.
Instant On	LED panels reach full brightness instantly-even in freezing temperatures where fluorescents require warm-up time. Ideal for cold storage and unheated facilities.
Motion Sensor Compatibility	Integrated 0–10V dimming and occupancy sensor compatibility enables advanced controls. LEDs tolerate frequent switching without reducing lifespan, unlike fluorescents.
Environmental Benefits	LED panels contain no mercury and require no hazardous waste handling. Facilities avoid fluorescent disposal fees and simplify recycling processes.

* According to the U.S. Department of Energy's LED lighting guidance, LED lighting technology can reduce energy consumption by 75% or more when replacing traditional fluorescent fixtures. These substantial efficiency gains translate to lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact for commercial facilities.

Additional Features

Color Selectable Panels: Field-adjustable models offer switchable color temperature from 3000K to 5000K. Contractors appreciate the flexibility to match existing lighting or change color temperature after installation without fixture replacement.

Wattage Selectable Panels: Post-installation wattage adjustment allows precise light level control. Toggle between three wattage settings using a simple switch to optimize brightness for specific applications.

LED Panels with Emergency Backup: Integrated battery backup systems provide 90-minute emergency illumination at reduced output during power outages. Essential for meeting egress lighting codes in commercial buildings.

Occupancy Sensors: Built-in motion detection with adjustable sensitivity automatically controls lighting based on room occupancy patterns. Conference rooms and private offices see energy savings of 30-40% beyond baseline LED efficiency.

We typically recommend these advanced features for customers seeking maximum flexibility and energy optimization in their lighting systems.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Installing thousands of LED panel retrofits has shown me the same issues pop up repeatedly. Most problems come from rushing the planning phase or assuming panels work like fluorescent fixtures.

Forgetting to check ceiling grid load capacity before installing heavy emergency battery backup panels. Standard grid supports 2 pounds per square foot maximum.
Installing different color temperatures in connected spaces creates jarring transitions that tenants complain about immediately. Keep CCT consistent across open floor plans.
Ordering standard height drivers for tight plenum spaces causes clearance problems with existing ductwork. Measure your available clearance first.
Connecting panels to old fluorescent dimming systems creates flickering and driver damage. LED panels need 0-10V dimming circuits, not magnetic ballast dimmers.
Skipping the footcandle calculation and just matching existing fixture count usually results in over-lighting or dark spots. Calculate actual light levels needed.
Using non-rated panels in kitchen or pool areas leads to early driver failure from moisture infiltration. Humid locations need IP65 rated fixtures.
Installing regular panels in exit corridors instead of emergency backup models violates egress lighting codes during power outages.

LED Panel Lights | LED Troffer Lights Frequently Asked Questions

What Energy Savings Can I Expect When Replacing Fluorescent Troffers with LED Panels?

We consistently see 50-70% energy savings when replacing fluorescent fixtures with LED panels. A typical 36-watt LED panel produces the same light output as a 72-watt fluorescent troffer, while maintaining that efficiency throughout its 50,000+ hour lifespan. Combined with reduced maintenance costs of 70-80%, most commercial facilities achieve full payback within 2-3 years.

What Size LED Panel Do I Need to Replace My Existing Fluorescent Fixtures?

LED panels use standard ceiling grid dimensions for direct replacement. 2x4 panels (24" x 48") replace most office troffers, while 2x2 panels (24" x 24") work for square fixtures. The ultra-thin 0.75-inch profile fits in dropped ceiling systems with minimal clearance requirements.

Can LED Panels Be Dimmed and Controlled with Building Automation Systems?

Most LED panels support 0-10V dimming down to 10% output with zero flicker at any level. They integrate seamlessly with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting systems, and building automation controls. Conference rooms and private offices typically achieve an additional 30-40% energy savings beyond baseline LED efficiency with proper controls.

What Color Temperature Should I Choose for My Commercial Space?

Office environments perform best with 4000K-5000K color temperatures that reduce eye strain during computer work. Healthcare facilities and retail spaces benefit from CRI ratings above 70 for accurate color perception. Color-selectable panels offer field-adjustable options from 3000K to 5000K for maximum flexibility.

How Long Do LED Panel Lights Last Compared to Fluorescent Fixtures?

LED panels operate for 50,000+ hours while maintaining consistent light output and color quality. Fluorescent fixtures typically require bulb and ballast replacements every 2-3 years, creating ongoing maintenance expenses. This extended lifespan eliminates recurring replacement costs and reduces maintenance labor by 70-80%.

What Certifications Should I Look for in Commercial LED Panels?

Professional installations require UL Listed and DLC Premium certifications for safety and performance standards. DLC Premium certification ensures maximum energy efficiency and qualifies your project for utility rebates. Universal voltage compatibility (120V-277V) simplifies installation in mixed-use buildings with varying electrical systems.

Why Choose LED Lighting Supply for Commercial LED Panel Projects?

This instant-on performance proves crucial in cold storage facilities, unheated warehouses, and outdoor covered areas where reliable illumination is essential.

What Installation Options Are Available for LED Panel Fixtures?

LED panels install in dropped ceiling grids as direct fluorescent replacements or surface-mount to solid ceilings using included hardware. The thin profile works in applications with limited ceiling clearance. Professional installation typically takes minutes per fixture with universal voltage drivers that eliminate compatibility concerns.

Do LED Panels Require Special Disposal Like Fluorescent Fixtures?

LED technology contains no mercury or hazardous materials, eliminating the specialized disposal requirements and fees associated with fluorescent fixtures. This simplifies facility maintenance and reduces long-term environmental compliance costs while supporting sustainability initiatives.

What Advanced Features Are Available in Modern LED Panels?

Wattage-selectable panels offer three adjustable output levels for post-installation optimization. Integrated emergency backup provides 90-minute illumination during power outages for code compliance. Built-in occupancy sensors with adjustable sensitivity automatically control lighting based on room usage patterns, maximizing energy efficiency in conference rooms and private offices.
