5.2. Mounting Options
The LED panel lights are designed for versatile installation and support Recessed/Drop-in, Suspension Mounted, and Surface Mounted configurations.
Figure 4: Multiple ways of installation for the LED Cloud Panel. This diagram shows the three primary methods: Recessed/Drop-in (no additional mounting accessories required for standard drop ceilings), Suspension Mounted (additional accessories required, typically chains), and Surface Mounted (additional accessories required, usually a frame kit).
- Recessed/Drop-in: Designed to fit seamlessly into standard T-bar drop ceilings (2x2 ft grid) without requiring additional mounting accessories.
- Suspension Mounted: For installations where the panel needs to hang from the ceiling, an optional suspension kit (not included) is required.
- Surface Mounted: To attach the panel directly to a solid ceiling surface, an optional surface mount kit (not included) is necessary.
Refer to the specific mounting kit instructions for detailed steps if not using recessed installation.
