How to Select an ETL LED Panel Light

Round, square, gimbal and backlit panel formats, cut-out sizes, 3CCT switching and dimming compatibility explained.

Written by the engineering team at Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd, Jiangmen, China.

Four Formats On One ETL Line

Our LED panel light is built on a dedicated line that carries USA ETL control number 5012309. Choosing between the formats is mostly a question of what the ceiling already is.

Square recessed4 inch, 6 inchSquare aperture ceilings and joinery

Read The Cut-Out Not The Diameter

On the ETL 4 inch Round LED panel light the published lamp dimension is 4 inch or 120×12 mm and the hole cutting size is 105 mm. Those two numbers are different and it is the hole cutting size that decides whether it drops into an existing can. Every panel product page publishes both.

Colour Temperature And Dimming

  • Button-switch 3CCT lets the installer select the colour temperature at the fixture.
  • Wall-switch 3CCT changes colour temperature from the wall switch and has a memory function.
  • Dimmable versions use smooth dimming from 10 to 100% and are compatible with most LED Triac dimmers.
  • One 3CCT product in stock covers three colour temperature specifications, which cuts the number of SKUs you carry.

Installation

The recessed panels are all-in-one with a built-in driver and ship with an electrical junction box and clips. They can be used with a new construction mounting plate or fitted into an existing can.
