The production and import of traditional fluorescent lamps is being phased out step by step, leading to an increasing preference for LED battens. Switching to 150cm LED battens offers immediately noticeable benefits that go beyond simply complying with new regulations.
The versatility of the 150cm LED batten makes it a widely applicable light source in both commercial and private spaces. The choice for a specific batten often depends on environmental conditions and the desired light quality. Here are some common examples of applications:
For locations with specific requirements, such as the food industry, there are battens that are resistant to cleaning agents and high-pressure cleaning and that meet strict food safety standards.
When selecting the right 150cm LED batten, several technical properties are important in determining their suitability for a specific application. Below is an overview of key specifications:
| Specification | Explanation and relevance for 150cm LED batten |
|---|---|
| Luminous Flux (Lumen) | The total amount of light produced by the lamp. For 150cm battens, this generally ranges from 3,500 to 7,200 lumens, depending on wattage and efficiency (lumens/watt). Higher lumen ratings suit spaces requiring a lot of light, such as workshops or warehouses. |
| Light Color (Kelvin) | The color temperature of the light, expressed in Kelvin (K). Common options are warm white (approx. 3000K) for a cozy atmosphere, neutral white (approx. 4000K) for general workspaces, and daylight white (approx. 6500K) for a very bright, productive environment. Some battens offer CCT (Color Changing Temperature) adjustment via a switch on the fixture. |
| IP Rating (Ingress Protection) | Protection against dust and water. For outdoor use or damp indoor areas, IP65, IP66, or even IP67 (fully submersible) can be important. For dry indoor spaces, IP20 is generally enough. |
| IK Rating (Impact Protection) | The impact resistance of the fixture, rated from IK00 to IK10. A higher IK rating (for example, IK08 or IK10) indicates the batten can withstand mechanical shocks and vandalism, relevant for public areas or industrial environments. |
| Color Rendering Index (CRI) | Indicates how faithfully colors are rendered under the light. A CRI of 80–89 is considered good and is suitable for most applications. A CRI of 90+ is relevant where color accuracy is crucial. |
| Through-wiring Capability | Many 150cm LED battens come equipped with through-wiring, making it easy to connect multiple fixtures in series without needing a separate power supply for each fixture. This simplifies installation in long rows. |
| Wattage | The energy consumption of the batten. This, combined with the lumen-per-watt ratio, determines the final light output and energy savings. Common wattages are around 35W, 45W, or 50W for a 150cm batten, as a replacement for higher wattages in traditional fluorescent fixtures. |
Installing a 150cm LED batten is a straightforward task, especially with modern connections. Here are the general steps and considerations an installer should take for a proper and safe installation:
If you want to link up multiple battens, it is advisable to check whether the selected batten is suitable for this and what the maximum current rating of the through-wiring is, to prevent overload. Always consult the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines. If you have any doubts about electrical installation, it is best to engage a qualified electrician.
When purchasing a 150cm LED batten, some specific questions often arise. Here we answer these points for a clear overview:
Yes, provided the batten has the correct IP rating. For outdoor use or damp indoor areas, a minimum IP65 rating is required for protection against dust and water jets. Battens with an IP20 rating are suitable for dry indoor areas only. Always check the specifications of the specific product.
Not all 150cm LED battens are dimmable. If you want dimming functionality, it is important to select a batten explicitly described as 'dimmable.' Also, make sure to use a suitable LED dimmer that is compatible with the batten.
The light output is expressed in lumens. A 150cm LED batten can deliver between roughly 3,500 and more than 7,000 lumens, depending on the wattage and efficiency of the LED chips. For most general lighting applications, a batten with an output of 4,500 to 6,000 lumens will suffice, while for areas requiring very bright light, a higher lumen value (above 6,000) is recommended.
Many 150cm LED battens feature through-wiring, making it possible to connect multiple fixtures in series. This is convenient for long rows of lighting, such as in warehouses or corridors, since only one power point is then needed for the entire row. Be sure to observe the maximum load of the through-wiring.
