A 2x4-foot backlit LED panel with integrated emergency battery, ideal for commercial offices, schools, and healthcare facilities needing reliable emergency lighting.
The Nuvo 65-1666 Backlit Panel delivers efficient, selectable illumination with three wattage and color temperature options. Its steel body and die-cast aluminum trim with seamless corners provide a clean, professional look, while the polystyrene lens ensures even light distribution. The integrated emergency battery offers 90 minutes of runtime, making it a safe choice for code-compliant installations.
Best for
- Commercial offices with drop ceilings, providing uniform ambient light over workstations
- Schools and classrooms where selectable CCT (3500K/4000K/5000K) adapts to different activities
- Healthcare facilities requiring damp-rated fixtures with emergency backup
- Retail spaces needing bright, energy-efficient overhead lighting
- Any 120-277V application where emergency battery backup is required by code
Not ideal for
- Residential living rooms or bedrooms - the utility style and size are better suited to commercial spaces
- Outdoor or wet locations - rated for damp locations only
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft - the 2.6-inch depth is fine, but the 2x4 footprint may overwhelm small rooms
How bright is it?
Selectable output from 3750 to 6250 lumens - comparable to three to five 60W incandescent bulbs. At 6250 lumens, it's bright enough to serve as primary lighting for a 10x12 ft room; at 3750 lumens, it's suitable for accent or task lighting in larger spaces.
Light color and feel
Choose from 3500K (neutral white), 4000K (cool white), or 5000K (daylight). 3500K offers a warm, inviting tone for collaborative spaces; 5000K mimics natural daylight, ideal for detail-oriented tasks. CRI 80+ ensures decent color rendering. Dimmable down to 10% via 0-10V dimmer for flexible ambiance.
Sizing and fit
Measures 47.76 x 23.74 x 2.6 inches - a standard 2x4 ft drop ceiling tile replacement. Fits T-grid ceilings with 15/16-inch or 9/16-inch grid. The low profile (2.6 in) works in spaces with limited plenum depth.
