Tronic Panel LED Grill Light

Our review

The Tronic Panel LED Grill Light is a panel light built around a grille-style design rather than the flat diffuser most panel lights use. Tronic says that layout is meant to address three common complaints with conventional panels: yellowing over time, the water-ripple look on the diffuser, and the cost of the usual supplier-to-customer-to-electrician chain. It pairs a high light efficiency LED chip with a non-flicker power source, which is the part that matters most if the light will sit above a desk, counter or workbench where people read or work for long stretches. It suits anyone specifying lighting for a home, shop or small commercial space who wants a panel that avoids the tired, uneven look older panels develop, and who cares about steady, non-flickering output. Before buying, check the dimensions, cut-out size, wattage, colour temperature and whether it is recessed or surface mounted, since none of those are listed here and they decide whether it fits your ceiling. Compare it with standard flat panel lights on diffuser material and driver quality, and with batten or downlight fittings if you need directional light instead of a broad even wash. It is available on Sokonia.
