MaxLite's 2'x2' Direct Lit LED Flat Panels, designed with a 23.75-inch width, 23.75-inch length and 3-inch depth, are perfectly suited for installation into T‐bar grid ("drop") ceilings. Fully dimmable and compatible with building controls, motion sensors, timers and daylight harvesting systems, the energy efficient LED Flat Panels deliver an even, consistent shadow‐free illumination with minimal glare. Uniformed color consistency is ensured by proprietary LED binning. With a power factor of more than 98 percent, the Flat Panels operate on 120- and 277-volt systems, are produced without mercury or other hazardous materials, and offer a long potential life of 50,000 hours. The luminaires deliver a high lumen output and excellent color rendering (CRI 85), while minimizing maintenance time and costs. The LED Flat Panels are ETL and cETL certified and RoHS‐compliant. LM79 data is available, along with IES files and photometrics. Lighting layouts are available upon request. All are backed by a five‐year warranty.

The 2'x2' Direct Lit LED Flat Panels operate with a standard integrated driver, allowing for an installation depth of just three inches. The housings and LED back panels are constructed of aluminum that provides heat sink and thermal control capabilities. The translucent lens is crafted of white polycarbonate.

With a Master/Satellite switch on the back, a single fixture can be switched to Master while the others are switched to Satellite. When all units are joined together (using supplied standard RJ25 phone cords and jacks), one Master Unit will control up to 10 panels in each room. The LED Flat Panels are dimmable and can be controlled with four types of input signals: 0‐10V, Simple Dimming, IR Remote, and DMX 512.
