I am looking at purchasing some of these light fixtures: Traxon Mood Light Classic Panel , but first I need information on how much light is emitted by these panels. Can you give me an example of about how many square feet are lit up by the panels? Our establishment is about 2000 square feet and we would like it to be lit by these, and change color every so often.

Answer: The panel has 4 quadrants and draw a total of only 15 Watts of LED per panel, which is roughly equivalent to 50W ~ 75W of regular incandescent lighting. However, these LEDs are not meant for task lighting, but only for ambience lighting due to the colors they give off. Depending on how you plan to place them and how bright you would like the place to be, it’s hard to say how many square feet are lit up by those Mood Light panels.
