Frequently asked questions
Which one installs in drop ceilings?
The C24CT-BK is purpose-built for flush ceiling-cavity installation with a back can and tile rails included. The SLP14/T-WH mounts on walls or surfaces and requires no ceiling cavity work.
What's the main depth difference?
The C24CT-BK has 7.2" depth (designed to fit between joists), while the SLP14/T-WH is only 3.9" deep, making it suitable for tight spaces or ADA-compliant installations where minimal protrusion matters.
Do both support 70V/100V systems?
Yes. The C24CT-BK includes a 30W multitap transformer with taps for 30W, 15W, 7.5W, and 37W at 70.7V. The SLP14/T-WH has a 25W multitap transformer that also switches to direct 8-ohm operation, offering more flexibility for mixed system types.
Which is better for retail or hospitality venues?
Both suit these applications. The C24CT-BK is ideal for larger distributed systems with ceiling infrastructure; the SLP14/T-WH excels in retail/hospitality where wall mounting, slim aesthetics, and easy installation are priorities.
