LED flat panels with field-installable controls

FlatMax Panels are available in 2x4’, 2x2’ and 1x4’ sizes as a seamless replacement for fluorescent fixtures. All models feature field-selectable CCTs (3,500K, 4,000K or 5,000K) and wattages, with outputs ranging from 2,000 to 5,040 lumens. The panels are DLC listed and come supported by a ten-year warranty with labor allowance (see terms at MaxLite.com).

FlatMax Panels are part of a full portfolio of controls-ready luminaires designed for use with c-Max Lighting Controls, a patent pending design that makes it easy to add luminaire-level lighting controls in the field. A plug and play interface enables c-Max control nodes to be added at the time of installation, or in the future, to generate energy savings beyond LED conversion through motion sensing, daylight harvesting, bi-level dimming and other energy-saving functions.

The control node simply plugs into the USB-C receptacle on the frame of the panel and secures with a vandal-resistant locking screw. Commissioning is done via remote control or an app to add basic or networking controls functionality. Control capabilities can be upgraded in the future just by swapping sensors – no need to remove the fixture.

“Our new generation of FlatMax Panels delivers all the benefits of LED technology with the flexibility to adjust light levels and color temperatures in the field and add lighting controls at any time,” said Ramesh Raghavan, Director of indoor product management. “Covering so many lighting applications in a single SKU greatly simplifies the decision-making process for the distributor, contractor and end-user.”

Emergency battery backup is available in all FlatMax models. Fixed wattage panels are also available for projects that require less flexibility.
