PHILIPS Suspended LED Classroom Light Series SP130S
PHILIPSSignify36 W3600 lm4000 K / 5000 KRa > 95UGR < 19IP40CCC
1195 × 295 × 57 mm rectangular suspended LED panel with anti-glare micro-prismatic diffuser, UGR < 19, Ra > 95, IP40, engineered by Signify for K-12 classrooms, lecture halls, reading rooms and training centers.
Feature Highlights
UGR < 19 Anti-Glare
PS micro-prismatic light guide plate delivers UGR < 19 in standard tests and ≤ 16 in classroom mock-up simulations — well below EN 12464-1 limits for teaching spaces.
Flicker-Free Performance
PST < 1, SVM < 0.4, modulation depth < 0.2% — eliminates the invisible flicker of fluorescent tubes that causes eye strain during long lessons.
High Color Rendering
Ra > 95 and R9 > 90 keep textbook colors, skin tones and whiteboard content accurate — critical for art, science and reading comprehension.
IP40, 50,000 h Lifetime
IP40 dust- and insect-proof housing plus 50,000 h L70B50 @ Ta 25°C — maintenance-free operation through typical 10-year school renovation cycles.
Application Scenarios
SP130S is a single-luminaire solution for classrooms, lecture halls, libraries, science labs, art rooms and corporate training centers — below are official Signify application references with recommended room layouts.
K-12 Classrooms
Primary and secondary classrooms. The 1195 × 295 mm body mounts cleanly above desks with 9 or 12 units per 9.2 × 7.0 m room. UGR < 19 (≤ 16 in classroom mock-up), Ra > 95 and R9 > 90 keep handwriting, textbooks and skin tones natural; 4000 K or 5000 K CCT matches local curriculum preference.
Multimedia & Lecture Halls
Multimedia classrooms, lecture halls and e-reading rooms with projector screens and cameras. Flicker metrics PST < 1, SVM < 0.4 and modulation depth < 0.2% eliminate banding on recorded video and projected content, while the batwing 94.6° beam spreads light evenly over desktops.

Installation & Mounting Guide
SP130S is a Class II (double-insulated), IP40 luminaire designed for rigid suspended mounting. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician with the mains supply switched off; the optical surface (PS diffuser) must be protected during installation. The light source is non-user-replaceable.
Official Mounting Instructions
6-Step Installation Sequence
Ceiling fixing → cable routing → rod threading → body mounting → wiring → levelling
Official Instruction Sheet
Packing list and main components (Signify, V1)
1
Fix ceiling brackets
Drill locating holes in the ceiling at the planned suspension positions (~650 mm rod spacing) and bolt the fixing brackets firmly to the ceiling structure.
2
Route cable through ceiling cap
Pass the mains supply cable through the centre hole of the ceiling mounting cap before assembly.
3
Thread rods into ceiling cap
Screw the suspension rods into the threaded seats of the ceiling cap and pre-tighten with the hex nuts.
4
Mount luminaire on rods
Align the mounting ears on the rear of the luminaire body with the rod ends, push into place and secure the fixing clips.
5
Connect wiring — power off
With the mains supply switched off, connect the wiring to the terminals (L / N / PE) as shown on the luminaire label. Double-check polarity before power-up.
6
Level and lock
Adjust the luminaire to hang perfectly level, then finally tighten all hex nuts and lock the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PHILIPS SP130S suitable for K-12 classroom installations?
Yes. SP130S is engineered by Signify specifically for educational spaces. The micro-prismatic diffuser delivers UGR < 19 (≤ 16 in typical classroom mock-ups per the spec sheet), below the 19 limit recommended by EN 12464-1 for teaching spaces. Color rendering Ra > 95 and R9 > 90 keep textbook colors, skin tones and whiteboard content accurate, while flicker metrics PST < 1, SVM < 0.4 and modulation depth < 0.2% reduce visual fatigue during long lessons. Official mock-ups list general classrooms, reading rooms, science laboratories, multimedia classrooms, art classrooms, computer laboratories and digital reading rooms as suitable applications.
What is UGR < 19 and why does it matter for a classroom light?
UGR (Unified Glare Rating) is the international metric for direct glare from a luminaire. EN 12464-1 and China's GB 50034 classroom standard both recommend UGR ≤ 19 for teaching spaces. SP130S achieves UGR < 19 in the standard test and ≤ 16 in classroom-room mock-up simulations, meaning students do not need to shield their eyes when looking up at the board — a critical factor for attention and visual comfort during a full school day.
Can SP130S directly replace traditional T8 / T5 fluorescent classroom fixtures?
Yes. SP130S at 36 W delivers 3600 lm (100 lm/W), roughly 50% more efficient than a typical 2 × 36 W T8 fluorescent classroom fitting of similar 1200 mm length, and it removes the flicker, mercury and maintenance concerns of fluorescent tubes. Net weight is only 1.67 kg per unit, so the suspended retrofit is simple. The external driver is replaceable without removing the luminaire from the suspension rods.
Does SP130S meet China's CCC classroom lighting standard?
Yes. SP130S holds CCC certification and complies with China's classroom lighting requirements for photometrics, electrical safety and photobiological safety. Photobiological safety is rated RG0 (no retinal hazard risk) per IEC/TR 62778 — the highest safety classification. The fixture also meets RoHS requirements and comes with type-test reports covering energy efficiency, dark-room photometry, integrating sphere, anti-glare distribution and flicker / modulation depth.
What is in the carton, and are suspension rods included?
Per the official packing list, each SP130S carton contains: 1 × luminaire body, 2 × ceiling mounting plates, 2 × mounting ear brackets, 5 × expansion bolts (φ8 × 40 mm), 6 × M5 hex nuts, 2 × M5 × 12 mm hex bolts and 1 × user manual. Important: suspension rods are NOT included in the standard carton — for dropped mounting please order rods separately for your ceiling height (recommended rod spec: φ12.7 mm tube, M12 × 1.25 mm thread, 14 mm threaded length).
