The brightness of the straight down flat panel light has an advantage over the side light type flat panel light, straight down flat panel light lumen index easily reaches 4200LM or more.

Structure： The advantages of straight-down backlight technology are high luminance, good viewing angle, high light utilization efficiency and simple structure. The space between the diffuser and the LED light source improves the uniformity of luminance. The number of light sources, luminous brightness, and power consumption are all greater than those of edge-lit backlighting, as the thickness, weight, and power consumption of the module are increased.

It’s not easy to break into the major American animation scene when it’s already dominated by the likes of Pixar, DreamWorks, Blue Sky, Laika, and more — but Illumination found a way. Founded just over a decade ago in 2007, the studio stole hearts from the get-go with Despicable Me, which has spawned an entertainment empire including two movie sequels and a Minions spin-off for its ubiquitous endearing/annoying yellow boys. Meanwhile, films like The Grinch and Sing have solidified Illumination’s game plan of making upper mid-budget films with global appeal, which means the studio has yet to have a commercial dud. Minions: The Rise of Gru is out, and so is The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Migration in 2023. And with 2024, comes Despicable Me 4! With that, we’re ranking every Illumination movie by Tomatometer! —Alex Vo

UPSHINE PL-CK LED panel direct lighting is a direct lighting product with high lumen efficiency. It makes full use of all light and is more cost effective compared with side lighting LED panel light. Adopt an optical lens to offer a uniform light effect. And with integrated iron plate,providing great thermal management.

Generally, the side entry panel lights are thinner than the straight-down panel lights, the former thickness only 8.85mm which is the thinnest one in the market. There is the principle of the thickness of both types below.

The reason for the weaker luminous effect of the side-light panel light compared to the straight-down panel light is that the refraction path from the light source to the final light effect needs to go through many ways, and the light will be lost to a corresponding degree in each conduction path so that the luminous effect is often slightly less.

Light Source: The side light LED backlight can only achieve simple one-dimensional dimming, as its luminous brightness and uniformity are not ideal and when applied to large and medium-sized LCDs, the weight and cost of the light guide plate will increase with the size and it is difficult to achieve dynamic control of the LCD area.

LED lights are commonly in our daily lives, we can notice it everywhere, even touch it to feel the lighting in our hands. There are many kinds of LED lamps we should recognize when we intend to make a lighting project. For an indoor lighting project, we may apply LED lamps including led downlight, led freestanding lights, led track lights, led ceiling lamps, led mirror lamps and led panel lamps, etc. Under the LED lights of each big category, there are different sub-categories. We take the LED panel lights about the sub-categories for example in this text.

The lighting way of the side light flat panel lamp is glowing all around, which lighting through the light guide plate of high transmittance, then forms a uniform plane luminous. Compared to the side light flat panel lamp, the straight down panel light’s lighting way is that the LED lamp is directly illuminated through the diffuser plate with suitable thickness to eliminate the space of brightness needed. Therefore, the power and thickness of straight-down lights are higher than the side light source panel light.

LED panels are divided into straight-down led panel lamps and side-lighting led panel lights. How to distinguish both lights while we install of them for the suitable application? For this, we need to distinguish them from thickness, brightness, heat dissipation lighting source, etc.

UPSHINE back-lit LED panel directing lighting is mostly applied in office lighting, school lighting, commercial lighting and another occasion like hospitals, laboratories and dust-free workshops, etc.

Structure: Side-lit LEDs are backlight structures in which the light source is a linear or point light source set on the side of a specially designed light guide plate made into a backlight. The overall structure is compact, as the following picture shows：

Lighting Source： The straight-down LED backlight performs better. It allows for dynamic area control of the LCD TV. The straight down backlighting process is relatively simple and does not require a light guide. The light source (LED wafer array) and PCB are placed at the bottom of the backlight, and the light is emitted from the LEDs through the reflector at the bottom and then evenly through the diffuser and brightening film on the surface.
