PL-A1260 Rectangular Edge-Lit Panel 60W

What is the PL-A1260 Rectangular Edge-Lit Panel 60W and where is it specified?

At XHLWX (led-project-light.com), a Custom Indoor LED Lighting Manufacturer based in China, we present the PL-A1260, a high-performance, large-format 1200×600mm edge-lit LED panel. It is engineered specifically for commercial interiors requiring smooth, expansive, and visually comfortable illumination. This 60W luminaire is the ideal solution for upgrading fluorescent troffers or for new construction projects in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail showrooms. Utilizing advanced edge-lit technology with a high-transmittance PMMA Light Guide Plate (LGP), the PL-A1260 delivers perfectly uniform, flicker-free light across its entire surface. This design eliminates hotspots and shadows, achieving a Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of <19 to comply with stringent European standards for workplace lighting and ensure occupant comfort. With a high efficacy of 110 lm/W, it provides significant energy savings while delivering a powerful 6600-lumen output.

Photometric and electrical specification

The PL-A1260 is built to meet demanding project specifications in the EU, US, and Middle East. All photometric and performance data is verified through goniophotometer testing, and we provide comprehensive support for lighting designers.

Which spaces is it designed for?

The PL-A1260's large format and high-quality light output make it a versatile choice for general illumination in commercial spaces where visual comfort and energy efficiency are paramount. Its clean, minimalist aesthetic integrates seamlessly into modern architectural designs.

How does this panel help achieve WELL Building Standard compliance?

For projects targeting WELL certification, the PL-A1260 is an excellent tool. The standard micro-prismatic diffuser achieves a UGR<19, directly supporting the Visual Lighting Design (L02) feature by minimizing glare. By selecting flicker-free driver options (compliant with IEEE 1789), it addresses feature L03. Furthermore, the optional Tunable White version, controlled via DALI DT8, allows for dynamic changes in color temperature to support human circadian rhythm, a key requirement for the Circadian Lighting Design (L03) credit. The high CRI (>90) option helps meet the requirements for Color Rendering (L04).

What makes it suitable for large open-plan office lighting?

The 1200x600mm dimension is perfectly suited for large open-plan offices using standard metric grid ceilings. A single PL-A1260 can illuminate a wider area than two separate 600x600 panels, reducing initial fixture cost, installation time, and ceiling clutter. Its wide 120° beam angle provides excellent light distribution, making it easier to achieve high uniformity ratios (>0.7) across workstation clusters. This ensures that recommended illuminance levels of 300-500 lux are met consistently, creating a bright and productive work environment.

Can it be used for school or university classroom lighting?

Absolutely. The PL-A1260 is ideal for educational facilities. The low glare (UGR<19) is critical for preventing eye strain and helping students focus, whether looking at a whiteboard or a digital screen. The robust die-cast aluminum frame and IK06 impact resistance rating ensure durability in high-traffic school environments. For specialized areas like art studios or science labs, the optional high CRI >90 version provides superior color accuracy, which is essential for detailed tasks.

Installation, control and compliance (DALI-2 / Casambi / 0-10V, CE / RoHS / ErP)

Flexibility in installation and control is a core feature of the PL-A1260. It is designed for simple recessed installation into standard 1200x600mm T-bar ceilings. For plasterboard or solid ceilings, we provide optional surface-mount frames and adjustable suspension wire kits (up to 1.5m drop height).

Control system integration is seamless. We offer a range of driver options from world-class brands like Tridonic and Mean Well:

• Non-dimmable: For simple on/off switching.
• 0-10V / Triac Dimming: For basic analogue or phase-cut dimming.
• DALI-2: For addressable digital control, energy monitoring, and integration into building management systems (BMS). DALI DT8 drivers are used for tunable white functionality.
• Casambi: For app-based wireless Bluetooth mesh control, offering advanced scene setting and scheduling without requiring new control wiring.

Compliance is guaranteed. The product holds CE (LVD/EMC), RoHS, SAA, and FCC certifications. For the European market, it is fully ErP compliant, ensuring it meets strict energy efficiency regulations. All lighting calculations can be performed using our complete IES and LDT photometric files, which are fully compatible with DIALux, Relux, and other lighting design software.

Customisation, MOQ and lead time

As a manufacturer, we offer extensive customisation. Beyond the standard specifications, we can tailor the PL-A1260 to your exact project needs. Custom options include specific CCTs (e.g., 3500K), high CRI Ra>95, custom frame colors (e.g., Black RAL9005 or Grey RAL7040), and pre-installing emergency battery packs (3-hour duration).

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): The MOQ for standard 4000K models is 50 units. For custom CCT, CRI, or driver specifications, the MOQ is typically 100 units. Custom frame colors may require an MOQ of 200 units.
• Lead Time: Our streamlined production process allows for a lead time of 15-20 working days for standard orders. Customised orders generally require 25-30 working days from confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the exact lumen output for different CCTs?

A: The standard 4000K model produces 6600 lumens at 60W, an efficacy of 110 lm/W. A warmer 3000K version will have a slightly lower output, around 6300 lumens, while a cooler 5000K version can reach up to 6800 lumens. All versions maintain a high Power Factor of >0.95 and are covered by our 5-year warranty.

Q: Are mounting accessories included with the panel?

A: The PL-A1260 panel is designed for recessed installation in standard 1200x600mm T-bar ceiling grids and does not require additional accessories for this method. For solid ceilings or suspension, separate surface mount frames and suspension wire kits are available for purchase. These kits include all necessary hardware for a secure installation and typically support a suspension height up to 1.5 meters.

Q: How does the tunable white option work?

A: Our tunable white version uses a DALI Type 8 (DT8) driver, allowing smooth color temperature adjustment from 2700K to 6500K via a single DALI address. This enables human-centric lighting schemes that can be programmed to mimic natural daylight patterns. This feature is ideal for improving productivity and wellbeing in office and educational environments, and requires a compatible DALI control system.

Q: What is the UGR rating and why is it important for offices?

A: The PL-A1260 features a micro-prismatic diffuser that ensures a Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of less than 19. This is compliant with the EN 12464-1 standard for interior workplaces. A low UGR value is crucial in office settings as it minimizes visual discomfort and eye strain from direct light, improving concentration for employees working on computers for extended periods.
