Frequently Asked Questions

What are drop ceiling lights?

Drop ceiling lights are a convenient and energy-efficient lighting solution for residential and commercial spaces. Suitable for installation in ceilings with suspended grids, these lights are easy to replace and maintain. They provide an even distribution of light, making them an excellent choice for general lighting applications.

What are the different types of lighting for drop ceilings?

Drop ceiling lighting is a versatile option for your home or business. It can come in three variations: recessed, surface mounted, or suspended. Recessed lighting is great for illuminating larger spaces, while surface mounted offers more focused lighting on a specific area. Suspended lighting is a good choice for providing light to a specific area without needing to be recessed into the ceiling.

What are some common applications where lighting for drop ceilings is needed?

Lighting for drop ceilings is a great solution for commercial spaces, such as lobbies, offices, and hallways, which require a flush-mount aesthetic. Perfect for areas where plenty of light is important, this type of lighting can spread light evenly from the ceiling and reduce glare.

How to install drop ceiling lighting fixtures?

There are a few steps that need to be taken to install drop ceiling lighting fixtures.

  1. Determine the weight of the lighting fixtures that you will be installing. Typically, drop ceilings are suspended beneath the primary ceiling and have a specific weight they can handle. So, it is extremely important to ensure the fixtures that will be used fall within that weight limit.
  2. Determine the spacing and layout of the lighting you will be using. Then place your lighting fixtures on the floor beneath the drop ceiling and ensure they are spaced evenly so that they will provide uniform illumination without creating shadows or dark spots.
  3. Shut off the power that is going to the area for safety and then proceed with removing the drop ceiling tiles where the lighting fixtures will be placed. Then place the the lights in their intended location and ensure they are properly secured.
  4. Finally, make all of your electrical connections and make sure all of your drop ceiling lights are working properly.
Can you put pot lights or recessed lighting in a drop ceiling?

The answer to whether pot lights or recessed lighting can be installed in a drop ceiling is yes. With careful planning and expert installation, this type of lighting can be a great addition to any drop ceiling. Such a setup provides ample room for adjustment, allowing you to customize the light output and spread.

How to install recessed lighting or can lights in drop ceiling panels?

If you will be installing recessed lighting or can lights in drop ceiling panels, first you will need to determine its placement. Second shut the power off and cut a hole in the ceiling tile(s) where the recessed lighting is being installed. Finally, place your recessed light(s) inside the drop ceiling tile and wire power to them.

How to update drop ceiling lighting?

If you are looking to update drop ceiling lighting, there are two ways this can be achieved. The most obvious would be to remove the existing fixture and replace it with a new one. The other way drop ceiling lighting can be updated is with the use of a retrofit kit, which will allow you to keep your existing fixture while replacing the internal lighting components.

What are some good drop ceiling lighting ideas?

Some of the common drop ceiling lighting ideas we tend to recommend is the use of flat panels or troffers. We lean towards these fixtures because they are easy-to-install and blend in with existing ceiling grids. However, if your looking to improve the look of the drop ceiling in your space, we suggest the use of recessed lighting. It is less obtrusive than flat panels or troffers and helps to create a more warm, welcoming atmosphere.

What to look for in choosing the best drop ceiling lights?

The right drop ceiling lights can make a big difference in any room. Look for energy-efficient LED bulbs, adjustable brightness and color, and a design to match your decor. Quality, dimmable lighting can bring a space together and create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion.

How to change drop ceiling lighting?

If your looking to change your drop ceiling lighting fixtures the process is pretty straight forward and simple, as long as you are not changing the overall grid pattern of the ceiling. First, shut off the power to your area for safety. Second, remove your existing lighting fixtures in your drop ceiling and be sure to cap off all wiring that was connected. Third, place your new fixtures into their designated spots and reconnect the wires in the reverse process of when you disconnected them. Last, turn the power back on and all of the drop ceiling lighting fixtures should come on immediately to their specific brightness level.

What are some benefits and advantages of using LED lights for drop ceiling applications?

Outdated, inefficient drop ceiling lighting will not only impact the look of a space but also the operational costs. Installing LED lights in drop ceiling applications will provide the latest in energy efficiency coupled with long-lasting uniform light, while improving the overall look of the space as well as some added financial benefits that include:

  • Reduction in energy costs
  • Elimination of routine maintenance
  • Being eligible for top utility rebate incentives
  • Fixtures having a useful life beyond the initial payback period
