The LED panels have a life of 50,000 h, which is equivalent to a life of over 13 years when used for 10 h/ day at the L70 standards. They deliver 3262 lumens of lighting. The MaxLite LED Edge Lit Flat Panels are RoHS compliant, and are also ETL and cETL]certified. The product is made without using any hazardous materials, heat, UV/IR radiation or carbon emission.
