Description
A suspension kit does one job and does it well: it holds an LED panel clear of the ceiling on wires rather than sitting it in a grid. This one gives you four steel cables, each a metre long, with a gripper fitting on one end and a small ceiling bracket, screws and wall plugs for the fixing points. Connector caps are in the pack as well. It is an accessory rather than a light, so the panel itself, its driver and any control gear are bought separately.
Wire suspension is the usual answer where a plasterboard or concrete soffit has no ceiling void to drop a panel into: offices, shop floors, treatment rooms, garages, workshops and home studios fitted out in a plain modern style. Hanging the panel a little below the ceiling line lets light spill upward as well as down, which lifts the look of a low room and softens the hard edge a flush panel can leave. Rated IP20, it belongs in dry indoor spaces and should not be used outdoors or anywhere exposed to damp.
Work out your drop before you fix anything. Each cable is a metre, so a metre is the most you can hang; anything shorter is a matter of taking the slack up through the grip, and the four wires want to end level or the panel will read crooked from below. Fix the brackets into something solid, use the wall plugs where you are going into masonry, and leave the electrical connection to a competent person. It is sold as a single kit with all four wires in it, and the minimum order is one.

Frequently Asked
How many panels will one kit hang?
One. The kit holds four wires, one for each corner of a single panel, so order a kit for every panel you plan to suspend.
How far below the ceiling can the panel hang?
Each wire is a metre long, so a metre is the maximum drop. Shorter drops are set by taking the slack through the grip on each wire.
Is the LED panel included?
No. This is a fixing accessory only, so the panel, its driver and any switching or control gear need to be bought separately.
What fixings come in the kit?
Ceiling brackets, screws, wall plugs and connector caps are all supplied, so the only extras are your tools and a sound fixing surface.
Can I use it outdoors?
No. The kit is rated IP20, which offers no protection against water, so keep it to dry indoor rooms such as offices, shops and workshops.
