There are many types of lamps and lanterns, in addition to considering whether there is a sense of design, brightness, color temperature, efficiency, etc., when designing and planning indoor lighting, different lamps can be matched according to the needs of different places to truly achieve the most meaningful effect.

What is Panel Light?

In the office decoration you must also often hear the “light steel frame” design, most of the light steel frame is a square lattice ceiling design, this decoration method has a lot of advantages, such as: cheap and fast, high CP value, can cover the ceiling, no need to do additional finishing work on the ceiling, light steel frame can take the line, so the ugly pipeline can be hidden on the ceiling, there is a heat insulation effect, and the air conditioner blows more efficiently… etc., so it is the choice of many corporate offices.

The traditional light steel frame with the lamp is T8 tube grille lamp, the advantage of this lamp is that the price is cheap, and if one of the lamps in a row is broken, the rest of the lights will not be on, or can maintain a certain lighting, but its power is relatively high, if the line is old, the voltage is unstable, there is often a risk of light flickering, power skipping or misfire, so the light steel frame panel lamp has gradually become a trend of choice, used in office lamps.

What are the advantages of panel lights?

• Flexibility to adapt to needs

The standard size of the light steel frame panel lamp is 60*60 cm square, and the light steel frame field can be easily and freely changed according to the use needs (such as: office area seating arrangement), and the size of the lamp area can also be easily pieced together into the desired shape, and there will be no special concerns about the size and installation position of other lamps and lanterns.

LED panel lamp can be divided into two forms: “direct panel lamp” and “side light panel lamp”, with the simplest way to explain the direct panel lamp is the light source distributed on the back, so the direction of light is consistent with the direction of light, the light is irradiated through the diffuser plate, the efficiency is better, the heat dissipation effect is good, and it is less likely to have superimposed shadows, but the disadvantage is that the structure of this lamp is usually thicker and heavier; The light source of the side-emitting flat plate is distributed around, so the direction of light is perpendicular to the direction of the light, and the light is guided into a frontal irradiation through the light guide plate, which is slightly worse in performance and heat dissipation than the direct type, but it can be made thinner and lighter, and it is more convenient and time-saving and labor-saving in maintenance and disassembly. Both of these panels have their own advantages and disadvantages and have their own supporters, so you may wish to consider your own usage habits and conditions in the selection, and then decide which kind of panel lamp to choose.

• High illumination and uniform light

High illumination has always been one of the advantages of the panel lamp, compared with the traditional T8 tube, the LED panel lamp can distribute the light more evenly, so that the large area of luminous lighting characteristics, not easy to have glare, ghosting and other conditions, in the workplace clear lighting work is naturally more efficient.

• Long service life and easy maintenance

The average life of most LED panel lamps is about 3~50,000 hours, which can be used for 6~10 years if the lights are turned on for 12 hours a day (of course, other factors should be taken into account, such as the quality of the power supply, the length of frequent continuous use…). and other factors, which are the reasons that will affect the life of the panel lamp); However, the service life of traditional lamps is much shorter, or the light decay is very fast, very bright at the beginning but getting darker and darker after half a year, which has affected the overall brightness, but because it is not “completely broken”, it will enter the dilemma of not knowing whether to replace it.

• High seismic resistance and not easy to damage

Because the structure of the light steel frame panel light is designed to be flat in the shape of a flat plate, it has the characteristics of high seismic resistance compared to many other types of lighting, and it is less likely to be damaged.

• Environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and friendly to the earth

Compared with the traditional T8 lamp, the LED panel light has high light source efficiency, low power consumption, and power saving efficiency of up to 73%, which can not only save a electricity cost, but also save energy and electricity is a way to be environmentally friendly.

Where are the panels used?

The most commonly used place for LED panel lights is office light steel frame lamps, but in addition to light steel frames, there are actually various installation corresponding ways that can be changed, such as school classrooms or large space halls, LED panel lights have large and uniform brightness, and can save huge power consumption; Medical institutions pay attention to the fact that the light should not have ghosting, strobe or light attenuation, etc., and LED lights are relatively very applicable; Parking lots need large, bright and easy-to-maintain lamps, and the use of LED panel lights is naturally the best choice.

In fact, regardless of the light steel frame, cement wall and other environmental spaces are applicable, LED panel lights are very modern in the interior design level, high CP value and can be integrated into the control of various styles of variety lights!
