An excellent tutorial to help refresh my own technique. Pre-COVID I installed several identical units in my basement and although purchased, the last surface mount LED got delayed. Your video not only confirmed my memory, the cardboard template and electrical tips made my final install much easier. Since this was in my basement, over a large TV, I actually played this video while following your own install.

I like your tutorials - very clear and easy to follow. I just got some LED panels from pqlighting and realized they were a bit more complicated to install in my home than expected. Happy I found your guide! Unfortunately I already bought dimmers before seeing your tutorial, not realizing they are for commercial wiring.

Excellent, easy-to-follow video! Could you please provide a link to the light fixture and frame that you used?

Nice video! Very clear instructions.

Great video. Thank you!! I am replacing my parents kitchen lighting with 2 2x4 LED lights.

Great video. Thank you

Thanks a lot for making the installation video easy to understand and follow.

Very good video

“Took a lot of research, and I finally figured it out” What was so hard and mysterious about the wiring? Did I miss something? Appreciate the video!

There's very little documentation out there on these type of fixtures so I had two things to figure out 1) how to safely (i.e. within code) make my splices inside the existing junction box (and make sure they stay there 2) how to wire a long enough pigtail wire going from the panel junction box to to the ceiling junction box. My primary concern with all of this was how to do in a code compliant way. I couldn't even get the LED panel distributor to explain it! It seems most of the applications are using suspended ceilings with armored cable.

Thanks for this- I have 8 of these to do this week. You saved my a**

Thanks for your video, this is great. I would like to install 3 LED light panels on a ceiling above a drop ceiling and was hoping there would be a way to wire them in series so I only had to wire the last one to the ceiling box. But I haven’t seen any panels for sale that advertise this feature. Is this anything you’ve come across? Thanks again, this was an excellent tutorial.

Hi - thanks for the video! I am replacing a number of florescent lights in my 3 car garage. Will the existing wiring (black and white) work with this type of light?

@ToolboxDIY

Yes existing wires will work. The driver has connectors for neutral and hot. Also inside the driver will be a pigtail wire for ground.

Houses that have the recessed boxes for tubes lights they have a 2x4 plastic sheet cover can I use these for that install delete light and clear cover and install this led

Is there way to manualy dim these without a dimmer?

This might be a stupid question but , If the ground cable (green cable ) is not well connected to the ground (solid) cable , can compromise the LED lights?

Pls installed led panel omni 120 x 30 thanks...

Where did you get your panel? Did they have black frames?

I have 3 wires in my ceiling, the fixture has black, green, white, a purple and grey for dimming

What lights did you use?

Quick question what’s the mounting procedure for a drop ceiling? will the led panel just sit like the original fluorescent fixture did?

Slide the panel in at a 45 degree angle then bend the tabs on the back of the fixture out 180 degrees so they rest on the framing of the drop ceiling

What if you have interior areas with fluorescent and want a warm light not bright white.

You can find panels in color temperatures ranging from 3000K (warm) to 6000K (bright).

Please Provide a Link to the Light Fixture and Frame :)

I'm intentionally omitted it because I'm not pleased with these particular panels. I cannot in good conscience subject my viewers to these!...Still looking for a good alternative.

Can you make the light any color you want like navy my favorite color

@ToolboxDIY

In my experience, you have to choose the color when you purchase the panel. I have not seen any that are navy, but I have seen some where the panel looks a skylight with clouds and a blue sky.
