LED Panel vs Troffer Comparison
Ceiling form factor comparison for commercial projects.
Panels and troffers drop into the same 600×600 grid but solve different problems. Panels are thin, glare-controlled and visually quiet; troffers are serviceable from below, cheaper per unit and easier to fit into an existing plenum.
| Comparison | Option A | Option B | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 10-18mm | 40-80mm | Panel |
| UGR | <19 | 16-22 | Panel |
| Efficiency | 100-130 lm/W | 90-120 lm/W | Panel |
| Price (600x600) | $18-45 | $15-38 | Troffer |
| Best for | Office, hospital | Office, corridor | Application-dependent |
Conclusion
Specify panels for new offices, clinics and spaces where a flush ceiling and low UGR matter. Specify troffers where maintenance access, unit price or an existing plenum decides the project.
