How to Choose the Right LED Panel Light for Your False Ceiling

LED panel lights have become the default choice for false ceilings in Pakistani homes, offices and showrooms. They are slim, efficient and give a clean, modern look — but picking the right size and type makes all the difference.

Slim panel vs adjustable ice panel

A slim panel has a fixed size (6", 8" or 2x2ft) and needs a matching ceiling cut-out. An adjustable ice panel has a frameless, edge-lit design with sliding springs that fit a range of cut-out sizes — ideal for renovations where existing holes don't match.

Choose wattage by room size

  • 12W – washrooms, stores and corridors
  • 18W – bedrooms and kitchens (6" panel)
  • 24W – lounges and drawing rooms (8" panel)
  • 36W–42W – offices, clinics and showrooms (2x2ft)

Colour temperature

Cool white / daylight (6000–6500K) suits kitchens, offices and shops where clarity matters. Warm white (3000K) creates a relaxed feel in bedrooms and dining areas.

Plan the layout

As a rule of thumb, space panels roughly 1.2–1.5 metres apart and keep them at least 60cm from walls for even, shadow-free light.
