How to Find the Best Ceiling LED Panel for Your Needs? Discover Our Complete Guide!
In today's world of interior lighting, ceiling LED panels are often essential products for providing effective lighting in a home, primarily due to their energy efficiency, durability, and ability to transform any space into a bright and welcoming environment. However, choosing the ideal LED panel can be complex given the multitude of options available. Discover our tips and tricks to find the ceiling LED panel best suited to your needs.
Why choose a ceiling LED panel over another product?
More uniform and aesthetic lighting
One of the main advantages of LED panels is their ability to provide uniform and non-dazzling light. Thanks to their flat design and advanced technology, these panels diffuse light evenly, eliminating shadows and reducing visual fatigue. Furthermore, their modern and sleek appearance integrates harmoniously with all types of ceilings, whether they are suspended, protruding, or directly mounted on plasterboard.
Greater energy efficiency and savings
LED panels consume significantly less energy than traditional lighting systems. For example, a 40W LED panel can offer a light output equivalent to a 400W bulb, representing substantial energy savings. This energy efficiency translates into reduced electricity costs, which is a significant advantage for businesses and households mindful of their budget and environmental impact.
Greater longevity and durability
With a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, LED panels far exceed fluorescent tubes in terms of longevity. Their robust design and resistance to vibrations make them ideal for use in various environments. Additionally, the anti-yellowing PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) diffuser ensures that the clarity and quality of the lighting remain constant over time.
Choosing the right size of LED panel
Ceiling LED panels are available in several sizes to suit various architectural and aesthetic needs. Common sizes include 60x60 cm, 30x30 cm, and 120x30 cm. Selecting the appropriate size depends on the area to be illuminated and the desired lighting effect. For instance, a 60x60 cm panel is ideal for large spaces requiring powerful lighting, while a 30x30 cm panel may be suitable for small rooms or areas needing softer lighting.
Energy labels for ceiling LED panels
Some energy-efficient ceiling LED panels consume only 26 to 30 W with an energy label of B/C or D, and provide as much light as 40W ceiling LED panels, allowing significant energy consumption reduction. This is particularly beneficial for offices that heavily rely on this lighting solution and can thus see their energy consumption reduced.
What are the main factors to consider when choosing a ceiling LED panel?
To choose the ceiling LED panels best suited to your needs, you must consider various factors, including the size of the room, aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency. It is essential to assess the required light intensity (lumens), power, and compatibility with your existing installation, as well as to understand the different types of LED panels available. A thorough evaluation of the warranty and discount possibilities can contribute to improving your decision-making process.
1 - Room size and ceiling height
It is essential to consider the room size and ceiling height when choosing a ceiling LED panel. These factors influence the amount of light needed to sufficiently illuminate the space. The general recommendation is to calculate about 100 to 200 lumens per square meter for living spaces, and potentially more for areas such as kitchens or bathrooms.
2 - Aesthetic appeal and style
The aesthetic beauty of your ceiling LED panels should also enhance your space's decor. Most LED panels look similar but come in different sizes. Therefore, it is important to select the size of each ceiling LED panel with precision to later determine the best possible arrangement in your space. Combining several ceiling LED panels may be necessary to ensure adequate lighting, and it is important to accurately calculate the shape of each ceiling LED panel. The finish color also plays a significant role in the beauty of each ceiling LED panel, as seen with this model.

You also need to determine whether you prefer edge-lit or back-lit panels, as they offer different characteristics in terms of aesthetics and performance.
3 - Brightness and color temperature
Brightness and color temperature are essential aspects of ceiling LED panels. You can play with a wide range of brightness levels depending on the room's use and the color temperature to create the desired atmosphere. Many LED panels offer adjustable settings, like this professional ceiling LED panel, which is ideal for offices and educational institutions thanks to its UGR < 19, ensuring non-dazzling light.

It is also equipped with a button to select the desired lighting shade.
4 - Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is an important element to consider when choosing ceiling LED panels. Look for products that not only provide adequate lighting but also consume less energy than traditional lighting solutions. Evaluating potential energy savings over time can be beneficial for budgetary decisions.
5 - Compatibility and installation
Ensure to verify the compatibility of the desired ceiling LED panels with your existing electrical systems. Different devices may require specific installation configurations, such as recessed or surface-mounted kits, and understanding these requirements can save time and resources during installation.
6 - Warranty considerations
It is essential to examine the warranty offered by the manufacturer, as it reflects the product's longevity and reliability. Our brand, Arum Lighting, with a proven reputation, generally offers warranties ranging from three to five years, providing peace of mind regarding performance and durability.
