NUVO Lighting 65-581R1 LED Backlit Flat Panel, 2ft x 2ft, Wattage and CCT Selectable, 100-347V

Yes. The 65-581R1 measures 23.75 by 23.75 inches with a 1.5 inch height, which is the nominal 2x2 lay-in size that sits in a standard suspended T-bar grid. The shallow 1.5 inch depth matters when plenum space is tight above the tile.

That's the point of the 65-581R1. It runs on any input from 100V to 347V, so the same part number works on 120V tenant circuits, 277V commercial lighting circuits, and 347V Canadian panels. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing stock, that's one SKU on the shelf instead of three.

It's field selectable on the fixture itself, not a factory order option. Wattage switches between 20W, 30W and 40W, with light output tracking from 2200 to 4600 lumens, and the color temperature is selectable as well. You order the one fixture and set it at install to match the space, so there is no separate part number per wattage or per CCT.

The 65-581R1 is an indoor fixture with a damp location rating. Damp covers enclosed bathrooms, locker rooms, and covered corridors where moisture is present but there is no direct water contact. It is not rated wet, so do not use it in an open soffit, a car wash bay, or anywhere it can be sprayed or rained on.

The panel is dimmable, so it can be put on a dimming control rather than switched only. Match your driver control type to the dimming system you have on the circuit before you commit a whole floor to it.

No lamps to buy. The LED array is integrated into the 65-581R1, so there is no socket, no tube, and nothing to relamp. Average rated life is 50,000 hours, at which point the fixture itself is replaced. That eliminates the ballast and tube stocking you carry with a fluorescent 2x2 troffer.

A backlit panel like the 65-581R1 puts the LEDs directly behind the diffuser across the full 23.75 by 23.75 inch face, which gives an even lit appearance rather than the brighter-at-the-edges look edge-lit units can show. It is a utility-style fixture aimed at commercial indoor spaces: offices, corridors, retail, back of house. If you need a deeper architectural housing or a specific louver optic, a troffer body is the different animal; for straight replacement of a flat grid fixture, the 1.5 inch backlit panel is the simpler swap.

It carries a cETLus safety listing, covering both US and Canadian requirements, which pairs with the 100V-347V input for Canadian 347V jobs. It is also RoHS compliant. Note the California Prop 65 disclosure for lead if you are shipping into California.

CRI is 80+, which is the normal specification level for general commercial office, corridor, and back-of-house lighting. If you are lighting merchandise or a color-critical area where a 90 CRI spec is called out on the drawings, this panel does not meet that.

It weighs 4.85 lbs with an aluminum and steel housing. Light enough for one person to set into a grid, though ceiling grid lay-in fixtures should still be independently supported per code in most jurisdictions. The metal body also means it handles handling on a job site better than an all-plastic panel.

The whips on the 65-581R1 are short, 3.54 inches, so plan on landing the connection close to the fixture. If your existing junction box sits away from the panel location, you will need to extend with an approved fitting and conductors.

White only. Across a corridor or open office where you are replacing fixtures a few at a time, that keeps the new panels matching the existing white grid and trim without a finish decision on the order.
