How to choose
1. Match the grid
Measure the ceiling grid. 2x4 is the most common in older offices, 2x2 in newer ones and in classrooms, and 1x4 in corridors and small rooms. See what wattage panel you need.
2. Flat panel or center basket
Flat panels give an even, modern face. Center basket troffers soften glare and suit offices and classrooms where people look up at screens. Our panels vs troffers guide covers the difference.
3. Emergency backup
If code requires egress lighting in the space, choose a model with an emergency battery option. TCP has the widest choice of these in our catalog, and StarLake offers emergency driver versions of its 2x2 and 2x4 troffers and back lit panels. See emergency battery backup fixtures.
4. Selectable wattage and color
Many models let you set wattage and color temperature in the field, so one part number can cover several rooms. Most StarLake panels and troffers select five wattages and five color temperatures, from 3500K to 6500K. Check the product page for the options on each model.
