The SM-1x4-5CCT+W is a commercial-grade back-lit LED panel in a 1x4 ft format, designed specifically with surface mount installation in mind. Unlike traditional recessed troffers, its surface mount design eliminates the need for plenum space, making it ideal for concrete slab ceilings, renovations, and retrofit projects. The clean, low-profile housing integrates seamlessly into modern interior environments while delivering robust, high-quality illumination.
One of the standout features of this panel is its 5CCT selectable color temperature, which typically allows users to choose between multiple Kelvin settings — commonly ranging from 2700K (warm white) through to 5000K (daylight). This flexibility is invaluable for commercial installers and facility managers who want a single product that adapts to different zones or tenant requirements within the same building, reducing the need to stock multiple SKUs.
The back-lit LED technology used in the SM-1x4-5CCT+W provides a smooth, uniform light distribution across the entire panel face. This approach differs from edge-lit designs by placing LEDs directly behind the diffuser panel, resulting in more consistent brightness and reduced dark-spot formation. The result is a professional-grade illumination quality that meets the demands of offices, clinics, schools, and commercial retail spaces.
Surface mounting is straightforward with this panel's purpose-built housing and mounting hardware. The fixture can be installed directly onto drywall ceilings, T-bar grids, or other structural surfaces, offering adaptability across a wide range of ceiling types. For electrical professionals and contractors, this simplicity translates into faster installation times and reduced labour costs on large commercial projects.
Energy efficiency is at the core of the SM-1x4-5CCT+W's design. By replacing older fluorescent 1x4 fixtures, facilities can achieve significant reductions in energy consumption while benefiting from a longer LED lifespan and lower maintenance overhead. Combined with the selectable CCT function, this panel represents a forward-thinking lighting solution for any commercial renovation or new construction project across Canada.
