A flat panel LED downlight is a low profile recessed ceiling light that fits in plenums of minimal depth without compromising lumen output or glare control. The fully luminous flat panel downlight transforms any commercial, residential and institutional space into a visually comfortable environment with soft, balanced light. This downlighting solution also eliminates the need for a bulky housing that is fire rated or IC (insulation contact) rated. The canless, wafer-thin design reduces material costs, simplifies installation, and delivers a clean architectural look that allows for surface mount applications as well. Available in round and square aperture options, these compact ceiling lights can challenge any new construction and remodeling installation, whether for general lighting in office spaces, shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, or for applications in confined, hard to reach spaces such as closets, basements, hallways, stairwells, elevators, and outside soffits.
