Led Panel light in Kitchen

    I just got a LED Panel 60x60cm for the kitchen , it comes with a wire suspension which is not suitable ( hard to level and align light and hanging too low) .IMG_395956.JPG
    How can I attach the Panel directly to the ceiling ?
    The panel has attachments IMG_7342-Kopie_a.jpg ,
    but I can't see how I could get a screwdriver between the panel and the ceiling , is there some sort of a clip that can secure the panel to the ceiling? I will probably push the transformer up into the ceiling.

    Is it just a matter of fixing four screws to ceiling such that the heads will just fit through the centre hole in the bracket. Then slide the panel until screw heas are positioned at the narrow end of the hole.

    I would try it out on a piece of chipboard so you can get the measurements right. I doubt if you would have any issue with heat dissipation except maybe the transformer. Did you get installation instructions with it?

    No instructions except for photo of hanging panel. I was hoping to avoid putting holes in ceiling , other than the existing holes in the centre where the wires come down , just in case I want the change the light fitting in a few years. I'm replacing fluorescent tubes now and have to repaint just to hide the holes that I've filled in. Secondly , I was concerned that a vigorous dusting might allow the panel to slip from the screws , but maybe I can find a clip to secure the position .
    Is there any kind of a 'H' shaped brace that might catch the 4 clips and screw it to the centre of the room?
