Panel Ranges
Which LED panel suits each SAS, Armstrong or specialist ceiling type?
These are the panel ranges contractors should review before sending the ceiling model, module size, controls and emergency notes for review. For straight 595 x 595 mm or 600 x 600 mm replacements the selection is often simple; for clip-in, hook-on, profile and acoustic metal ceilings the fixing and access detail still need checking first.

Technical specification
Premium components and SAS integration details.
Lumenloop’s SAS-compatible LED panel lines are built-to-order with premium optical diffusers, high-efficacy LEDs and drive systems designed for UGR-conscious environments and controlled uniformity.
Lucid 178 and Edge-Lite 20
Lucid 178 is a strong fit for projects requiring robust glare control and broad specification flexibility; Edge-Lite 20 is edge-lit for slimmer sections and easier integration where ceiling depth is constrained.
Premium optics and LED engines support uniform light distribution and low glare. The approach is designed for office, education, healthcare and retail environments where visual comfort matters.
Project notes typically adjust output, CCT, dimming method (including DALI and wireless controls), diffuser style and emergency mode for maintained or non-maintained operation.
Load-bearing constraints are checked at design stage. Panels are specified to avoid exceeding SAS limits and are reviewed for independent suspension where heavier bespoke modules are required.
Perforated tiles and acoustic pad-backed layouts are considered so lighting integration does not degrade acoustic performance or ceiling maintenance access.
Most standard approaches use matched 595 × 595 or 600 × 600 module geometry, with project review for clip-in, hook-on and custom systems where fixing and access differ.
SAS Access Types
Why the ceiling model changes the panel answer.
The ranking article covered the main SAS access types. The important point for contractors is practical: lay-in grid work can often start with a standard 600 x 600 panel, while clip-in, hook-on and profile systems need the ceiling detail checked before a panel is assigned. That matters for panel alignment, retention, load-bearing limits, acoustic performance and future service access.
SAS 120
Clip-in concealed spring tee
Below-ceiling extraction and tight edge detail mean the panel needs a project review.
SAS 130
Lay-in exposed grid
A standard 600 x 600 panel selection can be used when the module size and grid detail match.
SAS 150
Clip-in concealed grid
Aurora, Lucid 178 and Edge-Lite 20 can use the SAS-150 concealed T-frame mounting option.
SAS 170
Torsion-spring clip-in access
Send the hinge-down or spring-pivot access detail before selecting the luminaire.
SAS 200 / 205
Hook-on concealed grid
Hook-on tile access changes the fixing detail, so this should go through custom review.
SAS 320 / 330
Corridor, surround or profile suspension modules
Use project review for corridor modules, plasterboard surrounds, large modules and architectural layouts.
Mounting Detail
Ceiling section detail, module size and site checks.
Use the ceiling section, panel size and access method together before the luminaire is ordered. Alugrid, Trugrid, exposed T-grid and concealed-frame ceiling types all need the opening, support detail, controls and emergency arrangement checked before the panel selection is fixed.
Grid section and module review
Use the ceiling section to confirm whether the project is laid-in, concealed, hook-on or corridor-based before the panel is named, then check the exact opening size and future maintenance access.
Clip-in and torsion-spring ceilings need the access method checked so the luminaire does not block future ceiling maintenance.
Where acoustic pads or perforated metal tiles are used, send the ceiling detail so the panel and support method can be reviewed.
Metal ceiling projects need the panel load, support condition and any independent suspension requirement checked before installation. The live specification path is to keep the panel within SAS load expectations unless separate suspension is designed in.
Control gear and emergency provision should be confirmed with the panel selection, not after the ceiling detail has been fixed. Typical project options include DALI, wireless controls, maintained emergency and non-maintained emergency.
Bespoke consultation
Matching the panel to the existing ceiling system.
The live page leans heavily on consultation-led retrofit support. That is useful here too: on SAS and Armstrong projects, the right answer usually comes from matching the panel to the existing grid, access method, acoustic build-up and finish requirement rather than guessing from the ceiling brand alone.
Replacement work can often use a standard module size, but retrofit success still depends on the exact ceiling model, tile edge, panel weight and support arrangement.
Diffuser style, light output and glare control can be specified alongside the ceiling detail so the panel meets both the visual brief and the mounting requirement.
Where the ceiling uses perforated panels with acoustic pad backing, the panel integration is reviewed so the lighting works with the ceiling rather than disrupting its acoustic intent.
The goal is a clean fit, serviceable access and a luminaire that sits naturally within the ceiling module, whether the project is a direct panel swap or a more bespoke metal ceiling integration.
Project detail checks
Common panel formats and ceiling information we review before manufacture.
Specialist ceiling projects are usually decided by a few practical details: the exact module size, whether the ceiling is exposed or concealed, how the panel will be released for maintenance, and whether acoustic backing or perforated faces affect the build-up. These references help explain why some projects suit a standard panel selection and others need more ceiling information before the product can be confirmed.
Special ceiling FAQs
Questions contractors ask before ordering a panel.
These checks usually decide whether the website selection is enough or whether the ceiling should go through a project review first.
Aurora, Lucid 178 and Edge-Lite 20 are the listed options for SAS 150 concealed T-frame projects. Confirm the module, access, controls and emergency requirements before final selection.
If the SAS 130 ceiling is a matching 600 x 600 lay-in exposed grid, select Aurora, Lucid 178, Edge-Lite 20 or Luminate 184. Send the grid detail if the module is not standard.
For straightforward Armstrong 600 x 600 exposed T-grid ceilings, use Aurora, Lucid 178, Edge-Lite 20 or Luminate 184. Concealed or specialist Armstrong metal ceilings need project review.
These ceiling types should go through project review first. Send the exact ceiling detail and Lumenloop can advise whether a custom panel solution is suitable.
Often yes. The ceiling model, module size, support condition, access method and any drawings need checking first so the panel is matched to the ceiling properly.
Send the ceiling manufacturer, system name, module size, access method, support detail, controls and emergency requirement.
Yes, if acoustic pads, perforated tiles or unusual support details are involved. Those details affect the panel fixing and the overall ceiling build-up.
Yes, but the controls and emergency requirement should be confirmed at the same time as the ceiling detail and panel range, not afterwards.
The schedule should confirm the exact module, usually 595 x 595 or 600 x 600, along with the grid detail. Do not assume the ceiling module from the ceiling brand alone.
Sometimes, but the ceiling condition, access method, support detail and panel size should all be checked before a replacement panel is ordered.
Yes, it is commonly used where a slimmer edge-lit format is needed for exposed or concealed SAS systems, provided load-bearing and access criteria are confirmed first.
Send the ceiling model and panel requirement.
Use this form when the project uses SAS, Armstrong or another metal ceiling system and the panel option needs confirming. Include drawings where the ceiling is clip-in, hook-on, acoustic, concealed or non-standard.
