V-TAC VT-60012RD-S surface LED panel, 12 W 1200 lm 4000 K, round Ø167 mm, white, 5-year warranty

VT-60012RD-S is a round surface-mounted LED panel — 167 mm across and only 31 mm high. It fixes straight to the ceiling with no cut-out, so it suits places with no suspended ceiling and no void above the slab.

Figures confirmed in the EPREL register

The panel is registered in the EU EPREL database under number 1994788 — its data are therefore verifiable independently of any sales copy: 1200 lm at 12 W (100 lm/W), energy efficiency class F, CRI 80, R9 = 15, colour 4000 K, and — important for offices and rooms with screens — a flicker metric of 1.0 and a stroboscopic effect metric of 0.4. The register also gives a lumen maintenance factor of 0.96 and a survival factor of 1, that is, the declared stability of output over time.

The colour is fixed, not adjustable

Worth saying plainly, because this category invites the mistake: the panel emits at 4000 K only — the register gives a range of 4000–4000 K, that is, a single value. This is not a CCT model with a colour switch, and it is not dimmable. 4000 K is neutral white: brighter and more work-oriented than 3000 K, but without the bluish cast of 6000 K.

SDCM 6 — what it says about colour matching

The register gives colour consistency of 6 MacAdam ellipses. That is typical for fittings in this price bracket and means that when several panels are installed side by side, slight differences in the shade of white may be visible between units from different production batches. If the panels are to form an even row on one ceiling, order them together, from one delivery.

Where it works

At 1200 lm from one point and 31 mm high, the panel is intended for general lighting in a grid: corridors, hallways, kitchens, office rooms and shop back-of-house. In a room of 10–12 m², two or three of these give an illuminance suitable for work. Surface mounting means no hole to cut and no void to leave above the slab — the panel screws to the ceiling and connects on two cores.

Five-year warranty

The maker covers this model with a five-year warranty — longer than the standard two years and meaningful on a fitting with an integrated LED, which cannot be repaired by changing a bulb. With over 15,000 declared switching cycles the panel also suits circuits with a motion sensor, where the fitting switches on and off many times a day.
