General Information About Troffer Lights
What are LED Troffer Lights?
LED Troffer lights are recessed lighting fixtures designed to fit into a modular dropped commercial suspended ceiling grid. They come in standard sizes like 2X2 and 2X4. They are commonly used for office lighting and office space, conference rooms, schools, and commercial applications. Troffers offer a balance of functional commercial lighting and architectural style. They are generally a source of indirect lighting for t bar ceilings, grid ceilings or suspended ceilings.
They are a great replacement for fluorescent tubes and bulbs or old style fluorescent troffer fixtures.
While both troffer light fixtures and LED flat panels can provide similar light output, reduce energy costs and energy efficiency, the primary difference lies in aesthetics and light direction.
How do Troffer Lights compare to LED Tubes?
While both are LED technology, the difference lies in the mechanics of implementation. Troffer lighting used integrated led arrays and the fixture becomes the heat sink. LED Tubes fit into a fixture designed to hold fluorescent lamps. Both are high CRI lighting and both will save energy costs. However, the troffer light will be more aesthetically pleasing and should have a longer life span over LED Tubes.
How does Troffer Lighting compare to LED Flat Panels?
While both troffer light fixtures and LED flat panels can provide similar light output, reduce energy costs and energy efficiency, the primary difference lies in aesthetics and light direction.
Troffer lights often have a more architectural design with indirect lighting. LED flat panels offer a sleek, flat look with direct lighting.
