The benefits of professional LED panels
Professional LED panels are an efficient and durable replacement for traditional fluorescent lighting. They provide immediate bright and even light, with lower energy consumption and less maintenance. As a result, they are widely used in commercial and professional environments such as offices, schools, shops, and healthcare facilities.
LED panels are known for their high energy efficiency. Compared to conventional lighting, energy savings can reach approximately 70%, depending on the type of panel and application. Additionally, LED panels have a long lifespan of up to about 50,000 operating hours, resulting in fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs.
Because LED panels do not contain harmful substances like mercury and have lower energy consumption, they also contribute to a more durable lighting solution.
LED panels in offices and workspaces
LED panels are ideally suited for offices and other workspaces. They are often installed in suspended ceilings and provide a sleek, calm appearance with uniform light distribution.
Comfortable lighting is essential for workplaces. LED panels with a low glare value (UGR<19) reduce reflections and annoying glare on screens. Combined with light colours such as 4000K Neutral white or 6000K Cool white, they create a pleasant working environment that supports concentration and productivity.
How many LED panels do you need per room?
The number of LED panels needed per room depends on several factors, such as ceiling height, daylight incidence, wall colour, and the desired light level. As a general guideline, for a ceiling height of approximately 2.5 metres, one LED panel of 60x60 cm is suitable for about 8 m² of floor area.
For larger rooms or specific applications, additional lighting may be required. This can include combining LED panels with other forms of LED lighting to create accents or better illuminate zones.
LED panels for damp rooms (IP65)
For rooms where moisture or splashing water occurs, there are special water-resistant LED panels with an IP65 protection rating. These panels are suitable for environments such as sanitary rooms, changing rooms, kitchens, and laboratories.
IP65 means the fixture is protected against dust and splashing water. These panels are not intended for direct water jets but provide reliable lighting in damp conditions where standard panels are less suitable.
Edgelit and backlit LED panels
LED panels are available in edgelit and backlit versions. Both variants have their own characteristics.
Edgelit panels are slim and are often used when a sleek profile is desired. They are suitable for suspended ceilings, surface-mounted frames, and pendant mounting. Backlit panels are generally slightly thicker but provide direct and uniform light distribution because the LEDs are located behind the diffuser.
The choice between edgelit and backlit depends on the desired mounting, available profile, and preference for light distribution.
LED panels in different sizes
LED panels are available in various dimensions, so there is always a suitable panel for the type of ceiling and room. Common sizes include:
