Diode LED LO-PRO® Panel Junction Box — JBOX-PANEL-S & JBOX-PANEL-R

The Diode LED LO-PRO® Panel Junction Box is a commercial-grade centralized driver enclosure designed to organize, protect, and power multi-zone LED tape lighting installations from a single, low-profile panel. Available in Surface Mount (JBOX-PANEL-S) and Recessed Mount (JBOX-PANEL-R) configurations, each panel accommodates up to four independent LED drivers — supporting 12V and 24V systems with a maximum load of 60W×4 (12V) or 96W×4 (24V). Compatible with OMNIDRIVE® X, OMNIDRIVE® BASICS (ELV), VLM Series, 0-10V, and DMX512 drivers and decoders. UL Listed, NEMA 1 enclosed, IC-Rated, and Title 24 JA8 compliant.

Key Features

• Two Enclosure Options: Surface mount (JBOX-PANEL-S, 18.62×14×2.82 in.) or recessed mount (JBOX-PANEL-R, 19.62×15×2.82 in.) for flexible installation scenarios.
• Multi-Driver Capacity: Accepts up to four independent LED drivers per panel — 12V up to 60W each, 24V up to 96W each — for centralized, multi-zone control.
• Wide Driver Compatibility: Works with OMNIDRIVE® X (ELV/TRIAC/0-10V), OMNIDRIVE® BASICS (ELV), VLM Series (PWM), 0-10V Dimmable, and DMX512 drivers and decoders.
• Driver Dependent Input: Input voltage and frequency are determined by the installed drivers (see Recommended Drivers table).
• NEMA 1 Enclosure: Steel panel enclosure with 1/2 in.–3/4 in. knockouts for conduit entry; IC-Rated for contact with insulation in recessed applications.
• Certifications: UL Listed 2108 and 1598, NEMA 1 Type Enclosure, IC-Rated, Title 24 JA8-2016-2022-E compliant.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty: Backed by Diode LED’s 5-year limited warranty.

Physical Design & Installation

Both JBOX-PANEL-S and JBOX-PANEL-R share the same panel dimensions (18.62×14×2.82 in. L×W×H). The recessed model features a larger cover (19.62×15×2.82 in.) for in-wall or ceiling cavity installations. The enclosure includes 1/2–3/4 in. knockouts for conduit wiring and is IC-Rated for contact with insulation in recessed applications. Note: The Lo-Pro Panel must be sold with at least one driver installed — it cannot be shipped empty. Installation must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Dimming & Controls

Dimming protocol depends on the installed driver. Supported protocols include ELV (OMNIDRIVE® X and BASICS), TRIAC, 0-10V (0-10V Dimmable Series), PWM (VLM Series), and DMX512 (with compatible decoders). Each driver operates as an independent output channel, enabling up to four distinct lighting zones to be controlled from one centralized panel. Recommended dimmers vary by driver — refer to the individual driver specification sheets for dimmer compatibility lists.

Performance & Build

Ambient temperature: -22 to 104°F (-30 to +90°C). Operating temperature: -4 to 194°F (-20 to +40°C). Environment: Indoor/Dry (IP20). NEMA 1 steel enclosure. IC-Rated for insulation contact. Certifications: UL Listed 2108 (File # E469769) and 1598 (File # E485321). Title 24 JA8-2016-2022-E compliant. 5-Year limited warranty.
