2 x 4 Foot Back Lit LED Flat Panel, 6250 Lumen Max, Wattage and CCT Selectable, Dimmable, 120-277V, TAA Compliant

Who This Fixture Is For

While it can be found in many different settings, this 2x4 Back-Lit Flat Panel is especially well suited for facility managers, procurement officers, and electrical contractors working on government-funded projects or institutional environments where TAA compliance is a purchasing requirement. The standard 2x4 form factor drops directly into existing T-bar grid ceilings, and three selectable wattage and CCT settings let a single SKU serve different zones across a project without managing multiple products. Applications include:

• Federal, state, and municipal buildings subject to GSA or TAA procurement requirements
• K-12 schools, universities, and educational facilities receiving federal funding
• Healthcare facilities and clinics requiring compliant, uniform ceiling illumination
• Commercial office fit-outs using standard 2x4 drop ceiling grids
• Renovation projects where one panel needs to serve rooms with different lighting requirements

Major Benefits

The TAA-compliant WL-BLPLED-2x4 delivers ETL-listed, DLC Premium-certified performance while meeting the country-of-origin requirements that govern federal purchasing and GSA schedule contracts. Three selectable wattage levels and three CCT options in a slim aluminum housing give this fixture a solid configuration range for institutional and commercial projects, without the procurement risk of non-compliant alternatives.

TAA Compliance for Government and Federally Funded Projects

TAA compliance confirms this fixture meets the country-of-origin requirements under the Trade Agreements Act, which governs purchases made through GSA schedules, federal contracts, and many state and local government procurement programs that receive federal funding. Specifying a non-compliant fixture on one of these projects can result in procurement rejection or a costly mid-installation product swap. Selecting TAA-compliant fixtures upfront removes that risk for education, healthcare, and government facility projects.

Three Selectable Wattage Settings at Consistent Efficacy

At 30W, 40W, or 50W, this fixture delivers 3,750, 5,000, or 6,250 lumens at a consistent 125 LM/W for all three settings. This is useful on projects where different spaces call for different light levels. A private office and an open workstation area within the same building can both be served by a single SKU without ordering separate fixtures. Selecting a lower wattage setting does not reduce efficacy, so energy savings at 30W are proportional to the output reduction.

Three CCT Options to Match Space Requirements

3500K, 4000K, and 5000K cover the range of color temperatures most commonly specified for commercial and institutional interiors. The 4000K neutral white is standard for general office and classroom environments, 5000K suits spaces where higher visual acuity is a priority (such as medical exam rooms or labs), and 3500K offers a slightly warmer tone for hospitality-influenced lobbies or common areas. CCT and wattage are set independently, so each space can be configured for both output level and color tone without changing the fixture.

ETL Listed and DLC Premium Certified

ETL listing confirms the fixture has been independently tested and meets applicable safety standards. DLC Premium certification qualifies it for utility rebate programs across the U.S. and Canada, with Premium-tier products typically eligible for higher rebate amounts than standard DLC-listed alternatives. For large institutional projects installing dozens or hundreds of fixtures, DLC Premium status can meaningfully reduce the net project cost.

FAQs About Our 2 x 4 Foot Back Lit LED Flat Panel

What does TAA-compliant mean, and when is it required?

The Trade Agreements Act sets country-of-origin requirements for products purchased under U.S. government contracts, including GSA schedule purchases and federally funded projects administered at the state and local level. TAA compliance is commonly required for lighting purchased by federal agencies, public schools and universities receiving federal funding, VA hospitals and federally funded healthcare facilities, and municipal governments operating under federal grant programs. Specifying non-compliant fixtures on these projects can result in procurement rejection or change orders mid-installation.

Does this panel install directly into a standard 2x4 drop ceiling grid?

Yes. The fixture measures 47.8 inches by 23.8 inches, which fits the standard 2-foot-by-4-foot T-bar ceiling grid used in most commercial drop ceiling systems. It can also be surface-mounted using the optional kit for spaces without a grid ceiling, such as drywall ceilings in corridors or utility spaces.

What is the difference between this TAA version and the standard WL-BLPLED-2x4-50W panel?

The TAA version uses materials and manufacturing that meet Trade Agreements Act country-of-origin requirements, which the standard model does not. In terms of performance, the TAA version offers three wattage settings (30/40/50W) and three CCT options (3500K/4000K/5000K), while the standard model offers five wattage settings and five CCT options, including 3000K and 6500K. For projects where TAA compliance is not a procurement requirement, the standard model offers a greater configuration range. For federally funded or GSA-procured projects, the TAA version is the appropriate choice.

Can wattage and CCT be set independently, and can they be adjusted after installation?

Yes, wattage and CCT are set independently. A room can be configured at 40W and 4000K, while an adjacent space uses the same fixture at 30W and 3500K. Both settings are determined during installation and can be adjusted afterward if the fixture remains accessible, allowing facility teams the option to reconfigure zones as space use changes without replacing hardware.
