Panel lights can look similar in a catalogue photo while having different dimensions, mounting methods and electrical requirements. Check the installation first, then compare the exact products.
Measure the installation opening
For recessed panels, confirm the cut-out size, ceiling system and available space above the ceiling. For surface-mounted products, check the outside dimensions, frame or kit requirements and how the fitting attaches to the ceiling. Never assume that two panels with similar wattages fit the same opening.
Confirm the electrical details
Ask for the verified input voltage, power, driver details, dimming compatibility if required, and the product-specific installation instructions. Do not mix drivers and fittings unless the manufacturer confirms the combination is compatible.
Compare light output and colour options
Ask for the confirmed lumen output and available colour-temperature options for the exact model. In offices, shops and shared spaces, consider glare, light distribution, ceiling height and how the panel works with other fittings. A lighting designer should check the layout where uniformity or task requirements matter.
Think about service and replacement
For multi-room installations, use a schedule that records model, dimension, power and colour option by location. Keep product labels and approved datasheets with the handover documents so that replacement orders can match the installed fittings.
Before placing a bulk order
Confirm quantity per configuration, mounting accessories, packaging, delivery schedule, price validity and warranty terms in writing. If the panels are for a project, share drawings or photos of the ceiling and specify the required installation date.
What to include in an enquiry
Send the approximate ceiling type, cut-out or surface dimensions, required quantity, preferred light appearance, delivery location and any existing product reference. The ALWYS team can help identify catalogue options to review; final compatibility should be verified against the selected product data and installation conditions.
