T Bar
This refers to the metal rails used in a suspended ceiling as commonly used in offices. A ceiling panel (or part panel) is removed and a T bar fitting is placed on the rails with the flat panel diffuser flush with the ceiling.

T Bar Spacing

Standard spacing is 2.4 x 2.4m. This will give an initial lux reading of about 500 in a typical office. Spacing at 2.4 x 1.8 is also used especially if silver tint diffusers are involved.

Recessed Plaster
This refers to any solid ceiling that can have an opening cut into it for recessing a fitting. The fitting has a trim around the edges so that the ceiling opening is covered. The flat panel diffuser is flush with the ceiling.
Surface Mount
This is a shallow rectangular box construction that is attached to the ceiling. There are prismatic panel models and aluminium louvered low brightness models.
