What makes 120x60cm LED panels a suitable choice?
The popularity of 120x60cm LED panels stems from their functional properties, making them suitable for demanding environments.
Energy efficiency and long lifespan
These LED panels are designed to replace old, traditional fluorescent fixtures. A 120x60cm LED panel of, for example, 53W or 65W can match or even exceed the light output of two 36W fluorescent tubes, with significantly lower energy consumption. This translates directly into lower operational costs. Moreover, LED panels have an expected lifespan of 50,000 burning hours or more, which reduces the frequency of replacement and thus maintenance costs. This is an advantage in commercial and public buildings where lighting is in operation for long periods.
Even light distribution and visual comfort
LED panels provide a diffuse, even light that minimises shadows and reduces glare. This is important in spaces where concentration is required, such as in offices and classrooms. Many 120x60cm LED panels are available with a UGR (Unified Glare Rating) of less than 19. A low UGR value indicates that the lighting causes little glare, which contributes to a more pleasant working environment in accordance with European standards for workplace lighting (EN 12464-1). For general areas, a UGR of less than 22 or 23 is often sufficient.
Technical specifications: important considerations
When choosing the right 120x60cm LED panel, it is wise to pay attention to various technical aspects to ensure a solution that fits your specific needs.
| Specification | Meaning and consideration |
|---|---|
| Wattage (W) | The energy consumption of the panel. Higher wattage usually means more light output, but LED is much more efficient than old fluorescent tubes. |
| Lumen (lm) | The total amount of emitted light. This value determines the brightness of the panel. A high lumen value is desirable for workplaces. |
| Light Colour (Kelvin) | Expressed in Kelvin (K), it influences the atmosphere of the room:
|
| Colour Rendering Index (CRI) | A value (Ra) that indicates how true-to-life colours are rendered under the light. For most applications, a CRI of 80+ is acceptable. |
| Dimmability | Determines if the panel's brightness can be adjusted. Various dimming protocols exist, such as DALI or phase-cut. Check compatibility. |
| IP Rating | Indicates the protection against dust and moisture. For indoor applications, IP40 (dust-proof) is often sufficient. |
| IK Rating | The impact resistance of the fixture, expressed in Joules. Relevant in areas where there is a risk of physical impact. |
Installation of 120x60cm LED panels
The installation of 120x60cm LED panels can be done in various ways, depending on the ceiling construction and the desired look.
Recessed mounting in suspended ceilings
This is the most common and often the simplest installation method. The LED panel is placed directly into the grid of a standard suspended ceiling, replacing an existing ceiling tile. The driver is placed on top of or next to the panel, depending on the available space.
Surface and pendant mounting
For ceilings without a grid or where recessed mounting is not possible, surface-mounted frames and pendant kits offer a solution.
-
Surface-mounted frame: This allows you to mount the panel directly onto the ceiling. This frame creates a sleek finish and is suitable for solid ceilings.

Pendant kit: With a pendant kit, the panel can be suspended at any desired height. This is an option for rooms with high ceilings or when adding a design element to the lighting.

Please note that surface-mounted frames and pendant kits are often available separately.
Finding the right lighting solution
The choice of a 120x60cm LED panel depends on the specific requirements of the space. Whether it's an office where a UGR of less than 19 is necessary, or a general area that benefits from bright, energy-efficient light, there is a suitable LED panel available. Consult the technical specifications to determine which panel best fits your situation and ensure correct installation for optimal performance.
