Buying Guide: Metalux LED Lighting

LED Strip Lights
Metalux strip lights are LED fixtures sold in several lengths, including 24 in. and 48 in. models, and many are hardwired and rated in lumens. The ST series is a full width strip with a circular lens that matches the look of traditional fluorescent strip lights, and it suits retrofit work because no painting is required.

Wraparounds, Panels and Ceiling Lights
The WP wraparound fixture has a compact, low-profile design with a prismatic lens and surface or suspended mounting. The 2 ft x 2 ft flat panel is made for dropped ceilings, and the MMS ceiling light offers surface, recessed, suspended or wall mounting with a switch for five color temperature settings.

Shop Lights and Ordering Tips
The high output LED shop light is portable and plugs in, so it needs no hard wiring. Before ordering, match the part number or size on your old fixture and measure the mounting space, and have a qualified electrician install any hardwired fixture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Metalux make?
Metalux offers LED strip lights, LED wraparound light fixtures, LED flat panels, LED ceiling lights and an LED shop light. Several of the strip and wraparound models are sold as retrofit replacements for fluorescent fixtures.

How do I choose the right size or type?
Match the part number or size on your old fixture, and measure the space where the light will mount, including the ceiling opening for a flat panel. Check whether you need a hardwired or plug-in fixture, since the shop light plugs in while several strip lights are hardwired.

Are the strip lights suitable for retrofit?
The ST strip light is ideal for retrofit applications, with no painting required and a circular lens that matches traditional fluorescent strip light. Check your existing fixture and follow the manufacturer's instructions, and have a qualified technician handle the wiring.
