Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MAXLITE LED from 3G Electric.
What are the key features of MaxLite LED flat panels and troffers?
MaxLite LED flat panels and troffers are available in sizes including 1 ft x 4 ft, 2 ft x 2 ft, and 2 ft x 4 ft. They offer selectable color temperatures of 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K, and selectable lumen outputs ranging from 2,010 to 5,320 lumens depending on the model. They operate at 120-277V AC and are designed for recessed mounting in standard grid ceilings. Some models feature a U-bend T8 design. These fixtures are suitable for commercial and institutional spaces such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.
How do MaxLite LED troffer retrofit kits work?
MaxLite LED troffer retrofit kits are designed to upgrade existing fluorescent troffers to LED. They are available for 1 ft x 4 ft, 2 ft x 2 ft, and 2 ft x 4 ft fixtures, including those with T8 or U-bend T8 lamps. The kits include a center-basket design and operate at 120-277V AC. They offer selectable color temperatures (3500K, 4000K, 5000K) and selectable lumen outputs. Installation typically involves removing the existing fluorescent lamps and ballast and installing the LED retrofit kit into the existing housing, which can reduce waste and installation time compared to full fixture replacement.
What voltage do MaxLite LED panels and retrofit kits operate on?
MaxLite LED flat panels and troffer retrofit kits operate on 120-277V AC. This wide voltage range allows them to be used in various electrical systems without the need for additional transformers or modifications. It is suitable for both residential and commercial applications, although these products are primarily designed for commercial and industrial settings. Always verify the specific voltage requirements of the model you are considering, as some products may have different specifications.
Can MaxLite LED panels be used in damp or wet locations?
MaxLite LED flat panels and troffers are generally designed for dry indoor locations. They are not typically rated for damp or wet locations unless specifically indicated. For applications requiring damp or wet location ratings, MaxLite offers other product families such as vapor-tight fixtures or outdoor-rated luminaires. It is important to check the individual product specifications for IP ratings or suitability for damp/wet locations. If you need assistance, 3G Electric can provide product datasheets to confirm the environmental ratings of specific models.
What is the difference between MaxLite LED flat panels and troffer retrofit kits?
MaxLite LED flat panels are complete luminaires designed for new installations or full fixture replacements. They come in various sizes and are installed in grid ceilings. MaxLite LED troffer retrofit kits are designed to upgrade existing fluorescent troffers by replacing the internal components (lamps, ballast, and reflector) with an LED assembly. Retrofit kits are typically used in renovation projects to reuse the existing fixture housing, which can reduce material waste and cost. Both options offer selectable color temperatures and lumen outputs, and operate at 120-277V AC.
