How to choose the right panel size

The size of LED panel that you need will be largely dictated by your current ceiling grid. LED panels are produced in sizes to fit existing standard ceiling grid sizes. So, if you are replacing old lighting, you should check the size of your ceiling grid to understand the size you may need.

However, LED panels can also be surface mounted when ceiling grids are not in place. If you’re surface mounting LED panels, choosing the size depends on the size of the room in which you’re installing the lighting, the amount of light needed and the environment you wish to create.
