Cheap Ledwholesalers 4'x1' LED Light Panel 50 Watt Edge Lit Cool White

Customer Ratings:

This IS a brilliantly bright and amazingly thin led panel that you can mount in various ways. I think the description and photos from the seller omit a couple of important details. First, I intend to mount three panels directly to the ceiling of a basement room with 7.5' clearance. The low-profile is appealing in this case. Unfortunately, there are rounded metal tabs on all the corners (for other mounting options) that will force the panel to be 3/8" off the ceiling, i.e. not perfectly flush. You can't just nip or remove the tabs because the electrical connector would prevent a flush mount as well. Instructions state that there should be at least 2mm clearance between the panel and ceiling anyway.

Nowhere in the description or photos did they mention the bulky transformer required to run this thing. I guess I'd naively assumed that those electronics had been integrated into the panel itself. Since I don't want to mount an ugly transformer right next to this sleek light panel, I have to bury it in the ceiling. To do that the right way requires purchasing a special junction box, which Amazon also sells, the Lo-Pro Junction Box.

I intend to sink the junction box into the ceiling and cover the access plate with the led panel itself.

Now you know what I didn't.

This is a pretty nice light, the light itself is basically what it is represented to be, like stated before it does have a separate transformer to be factored in. It is definitely thin, and the light is great. It is not the highest standard of construction, some of the little screws weren't all the way in but I just tightened everything up a bit. Considering the price as compared to other LED panels I think this one is a wonderful option.
