Drop-in ceiling installation is the most common of installations for new LED flat panels. You simply remove the existing fixture and bulbs, and drop these right in. By far the fastest way and no additional hardware is required.

Surface Mount Installation
These panels usually require additional mounting kits to install, just like suspension installations. With surface mount installations, you install the kit to the desired surface (wall or ceiling),then attach the panel to the mount, and you're done!
