Panel lights are the big brother to recessed lighting. The fixtures are large with a square profile and filled with energy-efficient LED lights. These fixtures are designed to sit flush with drop ceilings and provide greater illumination than recessed lights.
The larger panel lights create a more evenly and brightly lit space, making these fixtures ideal for schools, hospitals, and office spaces.
Troffer lights share many similarities with panel lights, except their design is less sleek and more industrial. Panel lights are low-profile and only use LED lights. Troffer fixtures use standard T5 and T8-sized bulbs, which can be LED, fluorescent, or even incandescent.
