Reviewing the Best Drop Ceiling Lights for Suspended Ceilings
by Warehouse Lighting
If you're looking for powerful but discreet lighting to illuminate a large area, drop ceiling lights are your best choice. What are the best drop ceiling lights for your space? It depends on the type of ceiling you have and the look you're trying to achieve.
LED drop ceiling lights are most often found in commercial and industrial locations. There are many different designs that use various lamp quantities to provide the right amount of lighting for any site, whether you're illuminating a small passageway or a large commercial space.
Let's talk about the four main types – LED flat panel lights, troffers, recessed lighting and wafer lights. We'll show you what each type of lighting does and the benefits of each. Once you've determined the best drop ceiling lights for your needs, Warehouse-Lighting.com can help you with all the lighting solutions you need.

Slim and sleek, an LED flat panel light is ideal when space is limited. You can get a drop ceiling lighting panel in one of three sizes: 1x4 (1-foot by 4-foot), 2x2 (2-foot by 2-foot) or 2x4 (2-foot by 4-foot). The varying sizes enable you to find the ideal lighting solution whatever the configuration of your ceiling grids and T-bars may be.
If you decide to go with LED flat panels for your drop ceiling lights, you'll have one more decision to make. Do you want edge-lit or back-lit panels? In edge-lit panels, the LED lights are positioned on the sides of the panel for a thinner profile. The result is an LED light that's a bit more expensive and uses a little more power. Back-lit panels feature LEDs located at the back of the frame so that the LEDs can shine directly through the diffuser. The absence of a light guard means the illumination doesn't need to be directed – also, there's no glare.

Top Troffer Drop Ceiling Lights
Troffer LED drop ceiling lights are similar to flat panels, the main difference being that troffer lights sit above the ceiling panels. You can surface-mount troffer lights or, if you're going for a traditional/industrial look, troffer lights are suitable for hanging.
Much like the flat panel design, troffer lights illuminate indoor spaces and are available in three sizes: 1x4, 2x2 and 2x4.
Troffers use diffusers, lenses, parabolic louvers, reflectors and baskets to manage brightness and suffuse glare to provide illumination that's evenly distributed. These components enable the fixture to provide direct lighting (focused on the ground) or indirect illumination (pointed toward the ceiling).

Best Recessed Lighting
For smaller spaces where lighting needs to be more precisely placed, recessed lighting is the way to go. This type of lighting fixture is installed in your ceiling at regularly spaced intervals to create ambient light patterns, focusing the light downward. If you need a broad floodlight or narrow spotlights, recessed lights are a great choice.
Where are recessed lights used? They're ideal for decorative applications, task lighting and area lighting. Sometimes referred to as "can lights" or "LED high hat lights," the best recessed lights have been used in many residential, commercial and office design plans. Interior decorators use recessed lights to provide ambiance to new construction or remodeled spaces.

"We needed a 12" recessed light and could not find any in any of the stores around us. Searched the web and found this. It was just what we needed. Placed the order and had the light in a few days and was able to quickly finish a bathroom remodel. Ordering and delivery was flawless. Thanks for a trouble-free experience."

Best Wafer Lights
Available in various sizes and shapes, wafer lights are thin, low-profile fixtures ideal for placement in new or retrofit locations. Wafer lighting is a modern ceiling design fixture, made possible in part by the development of white LEDs.
Like other drop ceiling lights, wafer lights are used in both commercial and residential settings. While their narrow depth enables them to be flush mounted easily, they can also be surface mounted to ceilings or walls.

Why the Best Drop Ceiling Lighting Solutions Begin With LEDs

- Superior color temperature, rendering and lumen output
- More balanced foot candle in the downlight
- Most drop ceiling lights are dimmable
- Much longer lifespan, meaning less maintenance
- Energy efficient to save you money in the long run
