Round recessed LED panel 18W – Replacement for PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P – 1620 lm – Ø cut-out 205 mm

The round recessed LED panel MODEE A2-Series 18W stands out as the reference LED solution for effectively replacing PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P compact fluorescent lamps. Designed for both professional and residential installations, this LED panel combines reduced energy consumption, high lighting quality and long-term durability, while integrating seamlessly into existing suspended ceilings.

Developed in line with current lighting standards, the MODEE A2-Series enables the modernisation of installations originally equipped with PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P, without compromising visual comfort or luminous performance. It therefore represents a reliable, durable and cost-effective LED alternative to outdated compact fluorescent technologies.

Thanks to latest-generation SMD LED technology, this recessed panel delivers instant, stable and flicker-free lighting, while significantly reducing electricity consumption compared to traditional fluorescent solutions. It allows direct replacement of PL-C 26W lamps, while simultaneously improving the overall efficiency of the lighting installation.

An LED alternative perfectly suited to PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P

PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P compact fluorescent lamps have historically been used in offices, retail spaces, corridors, public buildings and communal areas. However, their limited efficiency, warm-up time and relatively short lifespan no longer meet today’s requirements for energy-efficient lighting.

The MODEE A2-Series 18W recessed LED panel delivers a luminous flux of 1,620 lumens, equivalent to or even higher than that of a PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P, while consuming significantly less power. With just 18 W, it enables an immediate reduction in energy consumption, while maintaining powerful, uniform and stable lighting.

This energy saving results in long-term reductions in electricity bills and a lower carbon footprint, making it an ideal solution for energy renovation projects and professional applications.

Luminous performance and visual comfort

The MODEE A2-Series recessed LED panel provides uniform light distribution thanks to its wide 120° beam angle, eliminating shadowed areas commonly associated with compact fluorescent solutions. With a luminous efficacy of 90 lm/W, it ensures efficient and comfortable lighting, perfectly suited to both work and living environments.

The 4000 K colour temperature (neutral white) exactly matches the light output of PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P, delivering balanced and natural illumination, ideal for offices, retail spaces, educational facilities, hotels and residential interiors. A 6000 K cool white version is also available for areas requiring more dynamic lighting.

With a colour rendering index CRI above 80, colours are reproduced accurately and naturally, significantly enhancing everyday visual comfort.

Durable design and extended lifespan

The MODEE A2-Series features a robust alu-plastic construction, combining an aluminium core for optimal heat dissipation with a lightweight and durable plastic housing. This design effectively protects the LED components from overheating and ensures long-term luminous stability.

With an estimated lifespan of 30,000 hours, this LED panel significantly outperforms PHILIPS MASTER PL-C compact fluorescent lamps, greatly reducing maintenance and replacement costs, particularly in professional installations.

Easy installation and compatibility with existing ceilings

This recessed LED panel has been specifically designed to simplify the replacement of luminaires fitted with PL-C 26W lamps. Its outer diameter of 220 mm and cut-out diameter of 205 mm allow quick and clean integration into most standard suspended ceilings.

The side spring clips ensure fast, secure and tool-free installation, while its slim thickness of just 14 mm guarantees a discreet and elegant finish.

Electrical safety and reliability

Operating within a wide AC voltage range of 175–265 V, the MODEE A2-Series LED panel ensures stable and reliable performance, even in the event of mains fluctuations. It is designed for indoor use and features a protection rating of IP20.

The integrated driver provides a constant power supply with an output current of 300 mA, extending the lifespan of the LED components. This model is non-dimmable, ensuring stable, flicker-free lighting.

An economical and sustainable choice

By replacing a PHILIPS MASTER PL-C 26W/840/4P with the MODEE A2-Series 18W recessed LED panel, users benefit from a more efficient, longer-lasting and significantly more economical lighting solution. Reduced energy consumption, extended lifespan and lower maintenance costs make it an ideal choice for offices, retail spaces, public buildings, hotels and residential properties.

Warranty and peace of mind

The MODEE A2-Series recessed LED panel is covered by a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, reflecting its quality and reliability. Its compact format and lightweight design also make storage, logistics and installation easier, whether for single upgrades or large-scale lighting projects.
