LED Panel Lighting – For Specific Purposes

LED Panel Lighting – For Specific Purposes A world without lighting is almost impossible to imagine. And yet, before the Edison bulb people had to find other ways to light up their homes and those spaces where they needed it. Candles and oil were the only known options. Of course today things are so different. Now we are able to produce light with the flick of a switch: you press a button and, eureka! We can buy all types of bulbs and lamp fittings for every room in our home, we can choose what office lighting suits us best, and what lighting works well in public spaces. Since the late 1800s, when electric bulbs were introduced for the first time, technology has developed and advanced at a pace almost unimaginable. From the days of the first incandescent bulbs to today’s modern LEDs a lot of research and development has taken place so that these days we do not only look at the type of lighting we use but also how we can save on the electricity bill. It affects all, right from the single person living in a bedsitter to the family in a big home, and it becomes an even bigger issue for the owner and manager of a big building such as an office space, government and administration buildings, retail spaces, shopping malls and other large areas that need illumination. Savings are important for all. Therefore we constantly look around for the best options. In the abovementioned offices, shops and malls, for example, the type of lighting that has been used for many years is the well-known CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light bulb) which was a great improvement on the incandescent lights of previous times. These lights are very effective as they illuminate a large area very well, and at a much cheaper rate than incandescent bulbs could ever do. CFLs cost more to purchase, but they last longer and use less power. Therefore they became increasingly popular in spaces where good lighting is required to illuminate large areas. They are not, however, limited to only the mentioned areas – they were/are also popular, at times, for residential use. But technology keeps on advancing all the time. The latest technology, which has already taken over to a large extent so that older lighting technologies have been – or are being – replaced, is LED technology. This means, too, that LED technology, which is far cheaper than all types before it, also CFL, is now favoured above the older types in the above-mentioned circumstances, in large spaces such as interiors of offices and in many other buildings. LED panels now replace the older CFL tubes. LED may be more expensive to acquire initially, but the savings they record are impressive. For example, it is estimated that LEDs save up to 90% on electricity when compared to the traditional bulbs of the past. In large areas, it is now common to see LED panels providing light. These LED panels measure, typically, 600 x 600mm, provided you buy them from a good, reputable supplier or manufacturer. They may, upon request, cut them into different sizes to meet your specific requirements too. Ask them for a warranty as well – good service providers may give you up to 5 years on their light fittings and bulbs – also some other bulbs, not only the LED panels that measure 600 x 600mm.


This site is the most popular for applications in large spaces. You also get them in other dimensions which may sell as standard options, such as those that measure 1200x 600mm, for example. Many of them are sold with a surface mount kit too. Ask the retailer. LED panel lighting has started to take over from traditional options and seems to be the way to go for future generations.
