Where a 1500x300 panel makes the difference
- Offices with rows of desks: one long line of light per row of workstations. For screen work, choose a UGR19 LED panel.
- Classrooms: even light along the length of the room, with low glare.
- Corridors and stairwells: the long format follows the walking route.
- Refurbishment: replaces old 5ft (150 cm) fluorescent fittings with one slim panel.
Will a 1500x300 panel suit my ceiling?
The panel measures 1495 x 295 mm and lays into a suspended ceiling with 300 x 1500 mm tiles. A standard 600 mm grid does not have those tiles, but with adapted profiles the grid can be set up for them: the panel then simply lays into the grid. Without a suspended ceiling, you surface-mount it with a 68 mm surface-mount frame, or suspend it with a suspension kit. Keeping an unmodified 600 mm grid? See the 1200x300 LED panels.
Which 1500x300 LED panel do you need?
- 36 W, 150 lm/W, backlit: 5,400 lumens, UGR <22, the highest efficacy. For corridors, workshops and areas without screen work.
- 36 W, 140 lm/W, backlit, UGR <19: 5,040 lumens, for offices and classrooms.
- 40 W, 120 lm/W, edge-lit: 4,800 lumens, slim and also available in 6000K. There is also a UGR <19 version.
Colour temperature and dimming
Choose 4000K for offices, schools and corridors, and 3000K for a warmer feel. The edge-lit version is also available in 6000K. See also the 4000K LED panels. For each panel you choose the driver: standard, a flicker-free Philips driver, or dimmable via 0-10V or Triac. The backlit panels are also available with DALI (Philips). See the dimmable LED panels.
How many 1500x300 panels do you need?
- 30 m² office at 500 lux: 4 to 5 panels of around 5,000 lumens.
- Corridor of 2 x 15 metres at 150 lux: one panel every 4 metres, so 4 panels.
This is a guide only: wall and ceiling colours, the layout and the ceiling height all play a part. Read more about lumens and lux.
What do you need?
Have the 230V connection made by a qualified electrician.
FAQ: 1500x300 LED panels
Is a 1500x300 panel the same as 150x30 or 30x150?
Yes, it is the same panel, measuring 1495 x 295 mm.
Does a 1500x300 panel fit a suspended ceiling?
Yes, if the ceiling has 300 x 1500 mm tiles or the grid has been adapted to that size. An unmodified 600 mm grid takes the 1200x300 format.
Can a 1500x300 panel replace a 5ft fluorescent fitting?
Yes. Compare lumens, not watts: a 36 W panel with 5,040 or 5,400 lumens gives plenty of light from little power.
Can I dim a 1500x300 LED panel?
Yes, if you choose a dimmable driver with the product: 0-10V or Triac, and DALI on the backlit panels.
Do you supply larger projects?
Yes. Business customers can order on account, and volume pricing applies to larger quantities. For projects, we are happy to prepare a tailored quotation.
