MAXLITE LED
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MAXLITE LED from 3G Electric.
What voltage range do MAXLITE LED troffer retrofit kits support?
MAXLITE LED troffer retrofit kits, such as the TRK24D22WCSCREMTA and TRK14D13WCSCR, are designed to operate on 120 to 277V AC. This wide input voltage range allows them to be used in standard commercial electrical systems across different regions without requiring additional transformers or drivers. Always verify the specific model’s voltage rating on the datasheet before installation.
Are MAXLITE flat panels compatible with existing T8 fluorescent fixtures?
Yes, MAXLITE flat panels like the MLFP14G515WCSCR/2PTA are designed as direct replacements for 2-lamp T8 fluorescent fixtures in 1 ft x 4 ft or 2 ft x 4 ft grid ceilings. They operate on 120 to 277V AC and include mounting provisions for standard T8 lamp sockets. However, ensure the existing wiring and junction box are compatible; consult the installation guide for specific retrofit requirements.
What color temperature options are available for MAXLITE troffer retrofit kits?
MAXLITE troffer retrofit kits are available in three color temperatures: 3500K (warm white), 4000K (neutral white), and 5000K (cool white). This range allows selection based on the application—3500K for ambient or hospitality settings, 4000K for general office or industrial use, and 5000K for task lighting or areas requiring high color discrimination. Check the specific SKU for available options.
How do MAXLITE LED flat panels compare in power consumption to fluorescent equivalents?
MAXLITE LED flat panels, such as the 38 W MLFP24G522WCSCR/2PTA, consume significantly less power than comparable fluorescent troffers, which typically draw 40–60 W per fixture for similar light output. The LED panels deliver 3,080 to 5,320 lumens, providing energy savings of 30–50% while maintaining or improving light quality. Actual savings depend on the specific model and usage hours.
Can MAXLITE troffer retrofit kits be used in damp locations?
MAXLITE troffer retrofit kits are generally rated for dry locations only, as indicated by their standard construction and lack of damp-location certification in the provided specifications. For damp or wet environments, such as covered outdoor areas or wash-down facilities, consult the product datasheet or contact 3G Electric to confirm suitability. Using non-rated fixtures in damp locations may void warranties and pose safety risks.
What is the typical lumen output range for MAXLITE 2 ft x 4 ft troffer retrofit kits?
MAXLITE 2 ft x 4 ft troffer retrofit kits, like the TRK24D22WCSCREMTA, offer lumen outputs ranging from 3,490 lm to 5,270 lm, depending on the model and color temperature selected. This range covers applications from general ambient lighting to higher-illuminance tasks. The specific lumen output is listed on the product label and datasheet for each SKU.
