1. Brightness (Lumens)

 How bright do you want it? You can find this in lumens. Higher lumens mean brighter light.

Understanding Lumens:

Brightness is measured in lumens, which indicates the amount of light emitted by a source. When selecting LED ceiling panel lights, consider the specific needs of your space.

  • For general areas like living rooms or offices, aim for approximately 300-500 lumens per square meter.

  • For task-oriented spaces, such as kitchens or work areas, you may need 500-1000 lumens per square meter to ensure adequate visibility.

2. Color Temperature

 Do you like a cozy, warm glow or a bright, cool light? Choose the color temperature that vibes with you.

What is Color Temperature?

Measured in Kelvin (K), color temperature influences the mood and functionality of a space.

    • Warm White (2700K-3000K): Creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, ideal for residential settings like living rooms and bedrooms.
    • Neutral White (3500K-4100K): Offers a balanced light suitable for versatile spaces such as offices and retail environments.
    • Cool White (5000K-6500K): Provides a bright, crisp light, perfect for task-oriented areas like workshops, garages, or medical facilities.
    • Smart RGBW Functionality: Explore a world of color possibilities with our smart RGBW technology.

3. Size and Shape

Measure your installation area carefully to ensure the panels fit properly. If you have a drop ceiling, ensure the panel fits the grid layout.

Common Sizes

LED flat panels come in various sizes, with 1×4, 2×2, and 2×4 feet being the most popular.

4. Installation Type

Assess your ceiling type and the desired aesthetic when choosing the installation method.

Recessed

Installed into the ceiling, providing a clean, modern look.

Surface-Mounted

Attached directly to the ceiling, suitable for spaces without a drop ceiling.

Suspended

Hanging from the ceiling, ideal for large areas or where a decorative element is desired.

5. Energy Efficiency

Look for LED panels with a high efficacy rating (lumens per watt). This indicates how much light is produced for each watt of energy consumed.

6. Dimmability

Adjustable Lighting: If you require flexibility in lighting levels, ensure the panels are dimmable and compatible with your existing dimming system.

7. Extra features

Some panels have cool stuff like emergency backup or smart features.
