Special Measurements
LED panels offer energy-efficient and uniform light distribution, making them popular in offices, schools, stores, and other commercial spaces. While most LED panels follow the standard 60x60 cm size for suspended ceilings, there are specific situations and regions where non-standard sizes are required. It is important to choose the right dimension, so the panel fits seamlessly into the ceiling grid.

Non-standard LED Panel Dimensions: Focus on German Sizing
The most common standard sizes for LED panels are 600x600 mm and 1200x300 mm. However, in Germany and Austria in particular, a grid size of 625x625 mm is often used for suspended ceilings. This is a crucial detail when selecting LED panels for projects in these regions or in buildings with a similar ceiling structure. Choosing the wrong size can lead to unnecessary adjustments and additional costs.
| Dimension (mm) | Description | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| 600x600 | International standard size | Office buildings, stores, schools |
| 625x625 | Common non-standard size, frequently used in Germany and Austria | Projects in German-speaking countries, older buildings |
| 1200x300 | International standard size for elongated spaces | Corridors, walkways, open-plan offices |
| 1250x312 | Derived dimension for specific ceiling grids | Specific renovation projects |
| 1200x600 | Larger size for increased light output | Warehouses, large commercial spaces |
| 300x300 | Smaller, flexible size | Restrooms, small areas, accent lighting |
Why the Correct Size Matters
Installing LED panels in a suspended ceiling requires precise measurements. A 600x600 mm panel will not fit properly in a 625x625 mm grid, and vice versa. This 2.5 cm difference may seem minor, but it causes mounting and aesthetic issues. In addition, a properly fitting panel guarantees a safe installation and delivers a sleek, uniform ceiling appearance.
For projects with non-standard ceiling sizes, such as the 625x625 mm variant, it is advisable to specifically look for panels designed for this measurement. This prevents unnecessary costs for custom work or modifications to the ceiling grid.
Considerations When Choosing Special LED Panels
Apart from the size, there are other technical specifications to consider when selecting LED panels with special measurements:
- Luminous Output (Lumen): Make sure the panel's brightness (expressed in lumens) is adequate for the room and its intended use. Larger spaces or areas that require detailed work demand higher luminous output.
- Color Temperature (Kelvin): The color of the light, measured in Kelvin, influences ambiance. Warm white (around 3000K) creates a pleasant atmosphere, while cool white (4000K or higher) is more functional for workspaces.
- Color Rendering Index (CRI): A high CRI (at least 80) means that colors are displayed true to life. This is relevant in environments where color recognition matters, such as retail spaces or studios.
- UGR Value (Glare Rating): A low UGR value (e.g., <19) indicates that the panel produces little glare, which is important in offices or for screen work.
- Dimmable Options: If flexibility in light intensity is desired, consider dimmable LED panels. Check compatibility with the dimming system.
- Mounting Accessories: Besides laying panels into a suspended ceiling, there are often surface-mount frames or suspension kits available to install the panels in different ways, for example, on a fixed ceiling or as a pendant fixture.
Frequently Asked Questions About LED Panels with Special Measurements
Are LED panels with non-standard sizes more expensive?
In general, panels with non-standard dimensions, such as 625x625 mm, can be slightly more expensive than the standard 600x600 mm versions, due to lower production volumes. However, the additional costs are usually small and are offset by the costs and effort of modifying the ceiling.
Are there also round LED panels with special sizes?
In addition to square and rectangular panels, round LED panels are also available, often in various diameters. These are usually not specified by a particular ceiling grid, but more as decorative or accent lighting. There are suppliers who even offer custom-cut panels in unique round or other shapes.
Can I fit a 600x600 mm LED panel into a 625x625 mm ceiling?
No, this is not recommended. A 600x600 mm panel will be too small for a 625x625 mm grid, leaving a gap. This not only looks unfinished, but can also cause issues with stability and light leakage. Always select the exact measurement that matches the ceiling grid.
