Description
PHILIPS Classroom Lighting Solution SP135P & SP136P
Complete K-12 classroom lighting set from Signify: the SP135P LED blackboard luminaire for the writing-board plane plus the SP136P grille classroom luminaire for desk-plane illumination. Both series share the same full-spectrum high-CRI platform — Ra>96, R9>93, UGR<16 anti-glare, RG0 blue-light safety, IP40 sealed light chamber and high power factor above 0.95 — engineered to satisfy GB 50034 and EN 12464-1 classroom lighting requirements.
Feature Highlights
Two-Luminaire Classroom Set
SP135P lights the blackboard plane while SP136P floods the desks — the standard board-plus-desk pairing used in K-12 classroom lighting design, ordered from one vendor on one purchase order.
Full-Spectrum High CRI
Ra>96 and R9>93 across both series render chalk marks, whiteboard ink, textbook colour plates and skin tones accurately — critical for reading comprehension and art or science lessons.
Ultra-Low Glare UGR<16
One-piece pressed grille with through-rib reinforcement and a seamless arc edge holds glare below the EN 12464-1 classroom limit, so students never need to shield their eyes when facing the board.
Flicker-Free, RG0 Blue Light
Flicker-free operation and photobiological safety RG0 (IEC 62471) remove the invisible flicker of fluorescent tubes and protect the developing eyes of school-age children.
IP40 Sealed Light Chamber
The sealed optical chamber on both luminaires keeps chalk dust and insects out of the LED cavity — maintenance-free in dusty classroom environments.
High PF > 0.95
Power factor above 0.95 on both series delivers reliable, clean electrical quality on shared school distribution networks; SP135P and SP136P are Class II double-insulated.
Efficient vs Fluorescent
36 W per luminaire replaces traditional fluorescent classroom fittings at roughly half the power density, holding classroom lighting power density to ≤ 8 W/m².
30,000 h Rated Lifetime
Both series are rated 30,000 hours — over a decade of typical K-12 school-shift service before replacement.

Application Scenarios
K-12 Classroom Lighting Retrofit
Replace fluorescent board-and-desk fittings with the SP135P + SP136P pair on the existing suspension points. SP135P mounts parallel to and above the writing board; SP136P units hang over the desks at the recommended 1.7 m light-surface-to-desk drop.
New-build School & Campus Projects
A matched two-luminaire specification for tenders that require a consistent photometric platform across board and desk zones — same 5,000 K CCT, same Ra>95+ rendering, same UGR<16 glare control, same IP40 and Class II rating.
Tutoring Centres, Lecture & Training Rooms
Smaller tutoring rooms use one SP135P plus a reduced SP136P array, while lecture halls and corporate training rooms scale the same pair up across larger board walls and seating rows.
Installation & Mounting Guide
Both SP135P and SP136P are Class II suspended luminaires. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician with the mains supply switched off. Suspension rods are not included with either series — order them separately according to the ceiling drop.
Plan Board and Desk Zones
Lay out SP136P positions on a regular grid over the desk area and place SP135P parallel to the writing board, typically one unit per 3–4 m of board length.
Order Suspension Rods
Rods are NOT included with either luminaire. Order SLZ ROD L 1000 fixed, SLZ ADJ ROD L 1000 or SLZ ADJ ROD L 1500 adjustable rods according to your ceiling drop.
Fix Ceiling Brackets
Mark suspension positions at approximately 650 mm rod spacing, drill locating holes and bolt the fixing brackets firmly to the ceiling structure.
Mount, Wire and Level
With the mains supply switched off, mount both luminaire types on their rods, connect L / N / PE to the driver terminals, then level each body and fully tighten all hex nuts.
