Edge-Lit vs. BackLit LED Panel Lights: Key Differences & Best Applications
Choose ideal LED panel light solution for your space by comparing energy-efficient edge-lit and high-brightness back-lit designs for your projects.
1. Different Light Source & Design
LED Edge-Lit Panel light
- Ultra-thin profile (8–12mm) with LEDs placed along the edges.
- Uses a light guide plate (LGP) for uniform illumination and glare-free lighting (UGR<19)
- Ideal for sleek, modern aesthetics in offices, hotels, and retail spaces.
LED BackLit Panel Light
- Direct downward lighting with LEDs mounted behind the panel (25–40mm thickness)
- Delivers higher lumen output (up to 180LM/W) for cost-effective brightness.
- Perfect for warehouses, schools, and hospitals prioritizing efficiency
2. Performance & Efficiency
LED Edge-Lit Panel light

Adjustable Color Temperature (CCT Tuning): Allows switching between warm white, neutral white, and cool white, offering flexible lighting environments for different needs.
Dip Switch Power: Enables manual selection of different power levels, optimizing energy consumption and light output according to specific installation requirements.
DT8: Dimming & Color Temperature Control
DT8 (DALI Device Type 8) technology enables simultaneous dimming and color temperature tuning, creating dynamic lighting scenarios that adapt to different moods and functional needs.
Ideal for applications requiring human-centric lighting, where the color temperature shifts throughout the day to mimic natural daylight cycles.
Human Body Sensing & Daylight Sensing
Human Body Sensing (Motion Sensor):
Detects human movement and automatically adjusts brightness to save energy.
Ideal for areas with low foot traffic, such as corridors, restrooms, and storage rooms.
Daylight Sensing (Ambient Light Sensor):
Adjusts brightness based on the natural light levels in the environment.
Ensures consistent lighting while optimizing energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary power consumption during daylight hours.
Emergency Response
Built-in Emergency Driver allows the LED panel to continue operating during power failures, ensuring safety and visibility.
Can provide emergency lighting for up to 3 hours depending on battery capacity.
Essential for commercial buildings, hospitals, and public facilities where emergency lighting compliance is required.
CRI (Color Rendering Index)
Panel lights are available with varying CRI values, indicating their ability to accurately render colors. Higher CRI values ensure that colors appear natural and true to life under the light.
CRI>80Ra & CRI>90Ra for option,
For tasks requiring high visual accuracy (e.g., artwork, makeup, medical procedures): Choose a CRI of 90 or above.
For general indoor lighting and home use: A CRI of 80 or above works well.

Three Common 3 Kinds of Installation Methods of Panel Lights
Panel lights offer versatile lighting and three installation options: recessed, surface-mounted, and suspended. Each method suits different design preferences and practical needs.
- Recessed installation: embeds the panel light into a ceiling or surface for a seamless, flush appearance.
- Surface-mounted installation: affixes the panel light directly onto a ceiling or wall.
-
Suspended installation: hangs the panel light from the ceiling using cables or rods.

FAQ for Edge-lit & Backlit LED Panel Light
Here are some most popular FAQs during our 17 years experience as a LED lighting solution provider, and please feel free to contact us if you have more questions.
What is the difference between edge-lit panel light and backlit panel light?
- The edge-lit panel light: only 10mm thickness, LGP (light guide plate) creates even and gentle light effect.
- The backlit panel light: a thickness of 28mm, but more cheaper than edge-lit panel, since there is no LGP (light guide plate).
Why do some edge-lit panel lights turn yellow easily?
- Common LGP (light guide plate) will turn yellow after one year due to the mixed plastics. Instead, we adopt pure acrylic materials imported from Japan, LGP would keep 5 years.
Are there any other advantages?
- Small size can help you save transportation and inventory cost.
- The size can be customized at will, which is the advantage that the backlit panel light has not.
What customized services can be provided？
- We can provide personalized customization based on your requirement, such as product dimension, installation accessories, color index and color temperature, different drivers, packaging and labels, etc.
