Why Facility Managers Upgrade to This 2x2 LED Troffer for Lasting Performance and Savings

Why Lighting Matters More Than You Think

Lighting isn’t just about visibility — it affects productivity, mood, focus, and how people perceive your space. Whether it’s an office, school, clinic, or retail floor, the wrong lighting drains energy and creates discomfort. Flickering tubes, yellowed lenses, and inconsistent brightness hurt more than your eyes — they hurt your reputation and efficiency.

SwitchToLED’s 2x2 Center Basket LED Troffer Light is built to solve those problems. It offers full control, better efficiency, a cleaner aesthetic, and a lighting experience designed for humans — not just ceilings.

Let’s break down exactly what makes this light a smarter investment.

What Is a Troffer Light? And Why Should You Care?

A troffer is a rectangular or square light fixture that fits into a modular dropped ceiling grid. Troffer lights are commonly used in commercial and institutional settings — offices, schools, hospitals, and stores — because they distribute light evenly across wide areas.

LED troffer lights, like this 2x2 panel, are a modern, energy-efficient upgrade from traditional fluorescent troffers. They provide higher light output, reduced glare, longer lifespan, and better control — all while consuming less power.

Key Features That Make This 2x2 LED Panel Exceptional

1. Adjustable Wattage: One Fixture, Five Power Options

This panel includes a built-in wattage selector that lets you choose from five power levels:

• 20W

• 25W

• 30W

• 35W

• 40W

Each level corresponds to a different brightness, ranging from 2600 lumens to 5200 lumens. Whether you’re lighting a small meeting room or a large retail floor, this panel adapts to your exact needs.

Why it matters: You no longer need to guess the right wattage before installation. You get flexibility to scale your brightness anytime, without buying a new fixture.

2. 5CCT Color Selection: Tailor the Mood and Function

This panel supports five color temperature settings:

• 3000K – Soft Warm White (great for breakrooms, waiting areas)

• 3500K – Warm Neutral White

• 4000K – Cool Neutral White (ideal for office and general workspaces)

• 5000K – Crisp Daylight White (used in classrooms, retail spaces)

• 6500K – Ultra Cool White (perfect for inspection rooms or clinical environments)

Why it matters: Light color affects mood, alertness, and visual performance. This panel lets you choose the best option after installation and even change it later if the space is repurposed.

3. Smooth Dimming from 10% to 100%

The built-in 0–10V dimmable driver allows seamless brightness control with compatible dimmers.

Why it matters: Dimming isn’t just for ambience — it helps reduce eye strain during long working hours, save energy, and create multi-use environments (like a meeting room that also hosts presentations).

4. Premium Efficiency: Up to 130 Lumens Per Watt

This fixture delivers high brightness while consuming very little energy. At full power (40W), it provides up to 5200 lumens, making it suitable for ceilings up to 10 feet and beyond.

Why it matters: Compared to fluorescent panels, you’ll save up to 60% on electricity while getting brighter, cleaner light.

5. Ultra-Slim, Lightweight Design

Measuring 23.7” x 23.7” x 1.77”, this panel features a low-profile housing ideal for tight ceiling spaces. It fits directly into standard T-grid ceilings and also supports suspension kits for alternative mounting.

Why it matters: Easy installation. No special tools or complex retrofitting. Just remove your old fixture and drop this one in.

6. Longevity and Durability

• Lifespan: 50,000 hours

• Lens: Anti-yellowing polycarbonate

• Finish: Modern white with scratch-resistant housing

Why it matters: With regular use (8–10 hours/day), this fixture can last over 10 years. That’s less maintenance, fewer replacements, and less disruption to your business.

7. Certified and Compliant

• ETL Listed: Assures product safety standards are met

• DLC Premium Rated: Qualifies for energy rebates from many utility providers

Why it matters: Trust and reliability. This panel meets stringent commercial safety and efficiency standards, and helps reduce total ownership costs.

Real-World Applications: Where This Panel Shines

This troffer light isn’t built for one type of room — it’s built for how real spaces evolve and function:

• Offices: Glare-free illumination that enhances screen visibility and focus

• Retail Stores: High CRI output ensures product colors are vibrant and true-to-life

• Educational Facilities: Bright, flicker-free light that promotes alertness and learning

• Medical Clinics: Clean, controlled light color for exam rooms and labs

• Home Offices: Professional lighting with minimal footprint and full brightness control

Wherever consistency, comfort, and control are needed — this panel delivers.
