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

Product Overview

The 45 Watt Detention Grade Surface Mount 2x2 LED Panel is a vandal-resistant fixture designed for secure environments requiring robust lighting solutions. This fixture is engineered for use in detention facilities, correctional institutions, and other secure areas where tamper resistance and durability are critical. The 2x2 form factor and surface mount design allow for direct installation to ceilings in areas with limited plenum space or where recessed mounting is not feasible.

With a 7000 lumen output at 4000K, this panel is suitable for replacing legacy 150W metal halide fixtures in secure settings. The fixture is built to withstand physical abuse and tampering, making it appropriate for high-risk environments such as holding cells, psychiatric facilities, and secure corridors.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture delivers 7000 lumens at 45 watts, providing an efficacy of 156 lumens per watt. The 4000K color temperature offers a neutral white light suitable for institutional environments. The optical system uses a .125 in prismatic acrylic inner lens and a .156 in clear polycarbonate outer lens for impact resistance and controlled light diffusion.

0-10V dimming is standard, supporting integration with compatible control systems. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and maintains a power factor above 0.9. At lower ceiling heights, output may be excessive for small rooms; consider spacing and layout to avoid glare or over-illumination in confined spaces.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 0-10V dimming for basic light level adjustment and energy management. No onboard sensor or advanced control options are included; external controls must be specified separately if required. The optical system is fixed, with no field-adjustable beam or lens options.

All control wiring is accessible via the surface mount housing, allowing for straightforward integration with facility-wide dimming or control systems. The fixture is not designed for tunable white or color-changing applications.

Longevity and Reliability

This panel is rated for 100,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The 16-gauge cold rolled steel housing and dual-layer lens system provide resistance to impact and tampering, reducing maintenance frequency in secure areas.

All fasteners are tamper-resistant T25 TORX screws, minimizing unauthorized access. The fixture is IK07 rated for impact resistance and is ETL certified. The 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal use in secure facility environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 23.75 in x 23.75 in x 4 in and is finished in white. The housing is fabricated from 16-gauge cold rolled steel for structural integrity. The dual lens system combines a prismatic acrylic inner lens for light diffusion and a clear polycarbonate outer lens for impact protection.

All exposed fasteners are tamper-resistant. The fixture is designed for surface mounting only and does not support recessed or suspended installation. The IK07 impact rating and robust construction are intended for environments with a high risk of vandalism or abuse.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for secure environments where tamper resistance and durability are required. It is commonly installed in:

• detention facility lighting
• correctional facility lighting
• secure area lighting
• vandal resistant lighting
• psychiatric facility lighting
• holding cell lighting
• secure corridor lighting
• tamper resistant lighting

The fixture is suitable for interior spaces with low to standard ceiling heights, where surface mounting is preferred or required. It is not intended for exterior use or wet locations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting is standard, with the fixture designed to attach directly to solid ceilings using tamper-resistant hardware. All wiring connections are made within the housing. The 4-inch depth allows installation in areas with limited overhead clearance.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the sealed housing and impact-resistant lens system. Access for relamping or internal service requires removal of tamper-resistant screws. The fixture is designed for environments where unauthorized access must be prevented.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 12 feet, depending on room size and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced to provide uniform illumination in cells, corridors, and secure rooms, with layout patterns determined by room geometry and security requirements.

In high-security areas, fixture count may be increased to avoid dark spots, but higher output per fixture can reduce the total number needed. Excessive output in small rooms may require wider spacing or dimming to avoid glare.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL certified and IK07 impact rated. All exposed fasteners are tamper-resistant. The housing and lens system are designed to prevent unauthorized access and withstand physical abuse common in detention and secure environments.

The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. No additional safety features such as emergency battery backup are included as standard.
