Mounting frames are the unsung accessories that make a clean, professional lighting installation possible. Whether you're recessing a flat panel light into a drywall ceiling, surface-mounting a fixture, or suspending a troffer in an open-concept space, the right frame ensures your fixture sits flush, stays secure, and looks like it was always meant to be there. This category brings together a range of aluminum mounting frames and installation accessories designed for popular panel and FLP series fixtures.
Frame Types and Options
The selection covers several configurations to match your fixture and ceiling type. FLP series mounting frames come in multiple sizes (such as 3¼", 3⅞", 4¼", 4⅛" and 6¼") so you can pair the frame precisely with the diameter of your fixture. Standard aluminum frames offer durable, corrosion-resistant support for everyday installs. For panel lights and troffers, accessories like junction boxes simplify wiring connections, while suspension kits (including 4 ft hanging-length cable sets) let you mount panels below an existing ceiling for a floating, architectural look.
Where They're Used
Mounting frames are essential across many environments. In residential settings they help integrate pot lights and slim panels into ceilings cleanly. In commercial and office spaces, suspension kits and junction-box accessories support drop-ceiling and surface-mount troffer installations. They're also common in retail, healthcare and institutional projects where a uniform, finished appearance matters.
How to Choose
Start by confirming the fixture series and size — an FLP frame must match the housing diameter it's designed for. Next, consider your ceiling type: recessed frames suit drywall, while suspension kits are ideal for open or high ceilings. Verify whether you need a junction box for code-compliant wiring, and choose aluminum for its light weight and resistance to corrosion. Always check that the accessory is listed as compatible with your specific panel or FLP model before installing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which frame size I need?
Match the frame size to the diameter of your FLP fixture — the product number (for example, 3¼" or 6¼") indicates the size it fits.
Can I suspend a panel light from the ceiling?
Yes. A suspension kit, such as a 4 ft hanging-length cable set, lets you mount compatible PLS and PLP panels below an existing ceiling.
Do I need a junction box?
A junction box provides a safe, organized point for electrical connections and is recommended for many panel and troffer installations to meet wiring standards.
