Before purchasing LED battens, there are a few things you need to keep in mind, this information will enable you to choose the right product as per your requirements. LED battens are used for both residential and commercial applications and their specification change as per the applications. LED battens can also be used for indoor and outdoor applications. Most commonly, LED battens are used to lit large spaces such as garages, outdoor areas, hallways, townhalls, walkways, etc. View our leading range of commercial and residential LED battens at Sparky Shop.
Brightness (Lumens):
- Check the lumen output to ensure the batten provides adequate lighting for the space.
Color Temperature:
- Decide whether you need a cool white (5000-6500K) for task lighting or a warm white (2700-3000K) for a cozy ambiance.
Energy Efficiency:
- Look for high energy efficiency ratings. LED battens typically offer significant energy savings compared to traditional lighting.
Lifespan:
- Opt for battens with a long lifespan, usually 25,000 hours or more, to minimize replacement frequency.
Build Quality:
- Ensure the batten is made from durable materials such as aluminum or polycarbonate.
- IP Rating:
- For areas exposed to moisture or dust, an IP65 rating or higher is advisable. For indoor, dry areas, an IP20 rating might suffice.
Beam Angle:
- Consider the beam angle to ensure it covers the area you need. Wider angles are better for general lighting, while narrower angles can be used for focused lighting.
Dimmability:
- Check if the batten is dimmable if you need to adjust the light intensity.
Installation:
- Look for battens that are easy to install, preferably with included mounting hardware and clear instructions.
Warranty:
- A longer warranty period (typically 2-5 years) indicates the manufacturer’s confidence in their product.
Compatibility with Smart Systems:
- If you use smart home systems, check if the batten is compatible with smart controls for remote operation and automation.
Color Rendering Index (CRI):
- A CRI of 80 or above is good for accurate color representation, which is important in settings like workshops and retail spaces.
Flicker-Free Technology:
- Ensure the batten is flicker-free to avoid eye strain, especially if used for extended periods.
Size and Design:
- Choose a size that fits the space and matches the aesthetic of the room.
