45 Watt Detention Grade Surface Mount 2x2 LED Panel | 7000 Lumens | 4000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 45 Watt Detention Grade Surface Mount 2x2 LED Panel delivers 7000 lumens at 4000K color temperature, built specifically for high-security and high-impact environments. The fixture is manufactured in the USA using 16-gauge cold roll steel housing and a two-piece lens system consisting of .125 prismatic acrylic inner lens and .156 clear polycarbonate outer lens.

The panel operates on 100-277V input at 50/60Hz with a power factor greater than 0.9. It replaces 150 watt metal halide fixtures while drawing 45 watts and achieving 156 lumens per watt. The fixture measures 23.75 inches by 23.75 inches by 4 inches deep and mounts directly to the ceiling surface.

Tamper-resistant T25 TORX screws secure the housing and lens assembly. Housing material and lens material can be customized upon request. The fixture is available in white and carries an IK07 impact rating.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is purpose-built for detention facilities, correctional institutions, and other secured environments where impact resistance and tamper-proof construction are baseline requirements. The 16-gauge cold roll steel housing and tamper-resistant fasteners address the physical security demands common in holding areas, intake processing spaces, interview rooms, and secure corridors.

The IK07 rating means this fixture can withstand impacts equivalent to everyday bumps and moderate physical contact without housing or lens failure. Facilities dealing with high-traffic secured areas or populations where fixture tampering is a concern will find this construction appropriate.

The 2x2 footprint and surface mount configuration suit ceiling structures where recessed installation is not possible or not permitted. Behavioral health facilities, juvenile detention centers, and secured psychiatric units with similar construction and security requirements are also appropriate applications.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 7000 lumens from 45 watts, this panel achieves 156 lumens per watt. The 4000K color temperature provides a neutral white output appropriate for general area lighting in institutional settings. CRI is rated at 80+, which supports visual clarity for observation, documentation, and security monitoring tasks.

The dual-lens optical system uses a .125 prismatic acrylic inner lens for light diffusion paired with a .156 clear polycarbonate outer lens for impact protection. This construction maintains optical performance while providing a physical barrier between the light source and the occupied space.

The fixture supports 0-10V dimming for integration with building lighting controls where output adjustment is required. Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours at L70, meaning the fixture will maintain at least 70 percent of initial output through that operating period.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This panel mounts directly to ceiling surfaces. The 100-277V input range accommodates standard commercial voltage configurations without requiring transformers or voltage-specific fixture variants. Installers will need T25 TORX drivers to access internal components or perform wiring connections.

The tamper-resistant fastener design is intentional. Access requires specific tooling not typically available to building occupants, reducing the likelihood of unauthorized fixture entry. This adds time to routine maintenance but is consistent with security expectations in detention-grade applications.

At 100,000 hours rated life, lamp replacement cycles are significantly extended compared to the 150 watt metal halide systems this fixture replaces. The steel housing and polycarbonate outer lens are serviceable under normal secured facility maintenance protocols.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates as the primary overhead light source in secured spaces where occupant access to lighting equipment must be prevented. The surface mount design places the fixture directly against the ceiling plane, eliminating gaps or edges that could be used as leverage points.

Facility operators typically integrate these panels with centralized lighting controls using the 0-10V dimming capability. This allows output adjustment for different operational modes, such as reduced light levels during overnight hours, without requiring fixture-level interaction.

The two-piece lens system allows the inner prismatic layer to distribute light evenly across the space while the outer polycarbonate layer absorbs physical contact. In day-to-day operation, the fixture requires no occupant interaction and minimal staff intervention outside of scheduled maintenance cycles.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and rebate eligible. The IK07 impact rating confirms the fixture can tolerate moderate mechanical impacts without damage to the housing or lens assembly.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this product. USA-based manufacturing supports material traceability and quality control throughout production.
