2×2 LED Center Basket Troffer Supplier

The High-Efficiency 2×2 LED Center Basket Troffer is a masterclass in architectural versatility and energy performance. Delivering an industry-leading 135 lm/W, this fixture combines a sophisticated volumetric aesthetic with the most advanced field-adjustable technology available today.

With 5-CCT Selectable color temperatures and 4-Wattage Selectable power settings, this single fixture replaces up to 20 different SKU combinations. The signature center-basket design uses a precision-curved reflector to eliminate “dark spots” and provide soft, glare-free illumination, making it the premier choice for modern offices, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions.

Technical Specifications & Parameters

Key Features and Benefits

Industry-Leading 135 lm/W Efficacy

Engineered with high-density LED chips and a premium driver, this troffer delivers 135 lumens per watt. This ensures maximum energy savings and qualifies for the highest available utility rebates under DLC Premium 5.1 standards, significantly shortening the ROI period for retrofit projects.

5-CCT & 4-Power Ultimate Flexibility

Never worry about mismatched color temperatures again.

• 5-CCT Selectable: Provides the full spectrum from ultra-warm 2700K to daylight 5000K, allowing one fixture to transition from hospitality environments to clinical office settings.

• 4-Wattage Selectable: Toggle between 20W, 25W, 30W, and 35W to perfectly calibrate light levels for varying ceiling heights or specific task requirements.

Precision Volumetric Optics

The center basket features a high-transmission frosted polycarbonate lens that conditions the light, refracting it off the side reflectors. This creates a wide, uniform distribution that fills the “visual void” on walls and ceilings, reducing eye strain and improving overall spatial comfort.

Durable & Low-Profile Construction

At just 2.56 inches deep, the housing is crafted from cold-rolled steel with a high-reflectance white powder coat. Its rigid structure resists bowing in T-Bar grids, while the low profile ensures easy installation even in ceilings with significant mechanical obstructions.

Applications & Installation

Targeted Application Scenarios

• Professional Offices: Use 3500K or 4000K settings for high productivity and modern aesthetics.

• Healthcare & Labs: Glare-free, high-output lighting ideal for patient comfort and technical precision.

• K-12 & Higher Education: Durable, long-life lighting that meets strict educational glare-rating (UGR) requirements.

• Hospitality: Utilize the rare 2700K setting for warm, inviting lounge and dining areas.

Quick-Install Design

Standard earthquake clips are built directly into the frame for added safety. The large wiring compartment allows for easy daisy-chaining, reducing labor costs for electrical contractors during large-scale deployments.

Specification & Brand Comparison

Our Elite Center Basket Series is a formidable, high-flexibility alternative to fixed-parameter fixtures from major brands:

• Lithonia (Acuity Brands) — BLC/CPX Series: Our model offers higher efficacy (135 lm/W) and more CCT options (5-CCT vs their standard 3-CCT).

• Keystone Technologies — Center Basket Series: Provides a broader wattage range (4-position vs 3-position) for finer control over lumen output.

• Cooper Lighting (Corelite) — Class R Series: Matches the high-end architectural finish and volumetric performance required for specification-grade projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary benefit of a Center Basket design over a standard LED flat panel?

The “Center Basket” or volumetric design uses a curved reflector and a central frosted lens to bounce light off the fixture’s interior. This creates a softer, more uniform distribution that fills the “visual void” on walls and ceilings, significantly reducing the harsh glare often associated with direct-lit flat panels.

Q2: How does the 4-Wattage and 5-CCT Selectable feature save me money?

It drastically reduces inventory and eliminates “wrong color” errors. A single fixture covers 20 different configurations (20W/25W/30W/35W paired with 2700K/3000K/3500K/4000K/5000K). Contractors can adjust settings on-site to match the end-user’s preference or specific task requirements without returning the product.

Q3: What does the 135 lm/W efficacy mean for my project?

Lumen per Watt (lm/W) measures energy efficiency. At 135 lm/W, this troffer is among the highest-performing in its class. It provides more light while consuming less electricity, ensuring your project qualifies for the highest DLC Premium 5.1 utility rebates, which can cover a significant portion of the upfront cost.

Q4: Is this 2×2 troffer compatible with 0-10V dimming systems?

Yes. The fixture comes standard with a high-quality 0-10V dimming driver, providing smooth, flicker-free dimming down to 10%. It is compatible with most standard commercial dimmers and advanced building automation systems.

Q5: Can I install this troffer in a shallow ceiling plenum?

Absolutely. With a low-profile depth of only 2.56 inches, this fixture is designed for modern “tight” plenums where HVAC ducts and pipes leave little room. It fits seamlessly into standard 15/16″ and 9/16″ T-Bar grids.

Q6: Are these fixtures “Controls Ready” for smart sensors or emergency backups?

Yes. The wiring compartment is designed for easy integration. You can add PIR occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting sensors to meet Title 24 or ASHRAE 90.1 requirements. We also offer factory-installed or field-installable Emergency Battery Backups (EM) for safety code compliance.

Q7: What kind of maintenance is required for the center basket lens?

Very little. The high-transmission polycarbonate lens is designed to be dust-resistant. If cleaning is needed, a simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient. The LEDs are rated for L70 > 50,000 hours, meaning the fixture is virtually maintenance-free for over 10 years in a typical office setting.

Q8: Does this fixture come with a warranty?

Yes, we provide a 5-year limited warranty covering the LED engine and the driver. We stand behind our 135 lm/W performance and UL-listed safety standards to ensure your long-term peace of mind.
