The 2′ x 2′ recessed white and scenic LED panel light is specifically intended for behavioral health applications, offering both ligature and vandal resistance. Available in standard white or scenic variants, this luminous panel provides a soothing and safe “skylight” effect, creating a calming visual environment while maintaining high durability and security. Multiple scenic images are available, with over 100 selections from Kirlin or customer-provided designs, allowing interior spaces to be updated cost-effectively without replacing the entire luminaire. The optional scenic panels are positioned above a high-strength clear flat polycarbonate lens and an extruded acrylic waveguide, ensuring unparalleled uniformity across the illuminated surface.
This square recessed panel is suitable for covered ceilings in both interior and exterior locations and is designed for new construction installations. The fixture delivers lumen outputs of 1,708 or 3,049, corresponding to 20 W or 35 W configurations, and must specify the desired lumen output and color temperature of either 3,500 K or 4,100 K. The optical distribution is wide flood (WFL), providing broad, even coverage with 90 CRI for accurate color rendering. The LEDs are static white and supported by an internal driver capable of 0-10V dimming down to 1.0%, with TRIAC/ELV dimming also compatible. Voltage range is 120-277 V at 50-60 Hz, and the driver is load insensitive, all enclosed within a heavy-gauge aluminum housing to ensure optimal thermal management and prolonged component life.
Constructed with durability in mind, the panel incorporates a ligature- and vandal-resistant IK10 trim and lens, a flat ligature-resistant trim, and a shallow fixture depth of 2-3/8″ to minimize plenum interference. The aluminum frame is 6063-T5, seam-welded, rustproof, and corrosion-resistant, finished with BioGard™ antimicrobial white coating. Flush center pin tamperproof screws are included with a tamperproof tool, further enhancing security. The fixture is rated for indoor and outdoor use, operating in temperatures from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F), and is suitable for wet, damp, or dry locations. It also carries Build America, Buy America (BABAA), FCC Part 15 compliance for EMI/RFI emissions, Level 1 Infection Control, UL Wet-Listed, and C-UL Canada listings.
Installation is straightforward with a recessed mount for drywall ceilings, requiring structural blocking by others, and includes a UL-listed galvanized outlet box prewired with 16 GA steel and a ½″ knockout for safe electrical connections. The panel is backed by a five-year limited warranty, offering long-term reliability with up to 60,000 hours of LED life (L70). Together, these features make this recessed white and scenic LED panel a highly effective and secure solution for behavioral health, educational, and other sensitive indoor environments, combining visual comfort, safety, and versatile design flexibility.
