Why LED backlite panel lights are getting more and more popular

LED panel lights are a type of lighting fixture designed to replace conventional fluorescent ceiling lights. They are one of the best lighting options for indoor lighting because of their slim design, high efficiency, uniform illumination and easy installation.

After a few years of development, LED panel light is a mature product and being widely used in many lighting applications. And now, thanks to the new technology breakthrough, backlite design LED panels are getting more popular than previous sidelite design LED panels. Most Cyanlite customers who used to buy sidelite LED panels are now all asking for backlite LED panel lights.

So the question is why backlite LED panel lights are getting more and more popular? What are the differences between backlite LED panel lights and sidelite LED panel lights?

Backlite Strength 1: More Efficient than Sidelite

Sidelite LED panel lights use PMMA or PS (cheaper but will turn yellow after 12-18 months) as the light guide, to reflect the light out. So there is evitable light loss during the reflection and diffuser transmission.

Backlite needs no light guide as the light from LED directly goes thru the diffuser.

Backlite Strength 2: More Price Competitive than Sidelite

The design of backlite is more simplified than sidelite, the production processes are mainly done by automatic production line machines, so the manufacturing cost is lower. Moreover, PMMA light guide, which is quite expensive, is no need for backlite LED panel lights, so the material cost is lower.

Backlite Strength 3: No more yellowing issues

Due to the severe price competition in the market, many lighting suppliers offer cheaper sidelite LED panel lights with PS or MS light guides, and they will turn yellowing after 12-18 months. But with PMMA light guide which won't yellowing issue, the luminaire price is quite higher.

Now, a better solution is using backlite LED panel lights, which offer better light quality and efficiency, with a more competitive price, and no yellowing issue any longer.
