Batten Lights And Today’s Consumer

Batten Lights And Today’s Consumer We live in a world where it is virtually impossible to operate without proper lighting and the benefits that different options offer us. Without good lighting we would not be able to be productive at the office, drive our vehicles or be able to enjoy our hours at home after work - the list goes on. The history of electrical lighting as we know it goes back to the late 1800s when the first Edison bulbs were introduced. Of course today we use more advanced, modern systems, even if the principle of lighting is not different. A good example that refers is LED batten lights. So, what is LED batten lighting? The short answer is that it is a source of lighting encased in a tube or cover.

LED battens are the modern equivalent of the older fluorescent (CFL) technology. The LED battens use the traditional shape of the older tube CFL lighting options, but it offers the technology of LED with its many benefits for consumers, mainly cost savings over time. When first fluorescent lighting was introduced to light up large areas such as factories, office spaces, hospitals, and schools, it was a great new addition to the older types such as separate incandescent lighting, for instance. It came with the assurance of offering light at a much cheaper cost. With LED comes greater cost savings, even if the initial cost of acquiring the LED technology, such as battens to replace CFL, is comparatively high. In the long run, the savings are impressive since LED lasts for thousands of hours, uses far less electricity, and is, therefore, also environment-friendly, which the older types of electricity are not. As technology advances, it also brings new features, such as, in the case of LED, being flicker-free and effective instantly, which is not the case with the older tubes that the LED battens now replace. The battens that are so widely used inside buildings, as well as outside in parking lots, outside factories, and public buildings, for example, now offer owners and managers of buildings a much greater option than in the past when CFL was the only options for, especially, retail, commercial and industrial premises. More and more retailers, other commercial outlets, and industrial sites are starting to use this technology as it is the answer for the current generation. LED battens are available over a wide front these days and come in different sizes to suit all applications. It is always a good idea to approach a well-known, reputable service provider that markets LED products, among them LED battens, for advice and choice. These battens are available in different sizes, for the befit of individual customers who all have their unique requirements and demands. For example, batten sizes can vary from, say, 600, 1200, and 1500 to 1800mm in size, which are the industry standard sizes. The 1500mm, for example – also referred to as a 5ft batten –


is popular across various industries such as those used in, say, warehouses, factory floors, underground car parks, and loading areas. It is important to acquire a good product; therefore, be sure to ask for anti- or non-corrosive LED battens so that they are effective in dusty and wet conditions, for example, and that they will not rust or impact the effectiveness of the LED lighting. These are available as either single or twin LED batten options, i.e.2 x 5ft/1500mm, and are popular with clients that need a good, solid, noncorrosive LED batten product that will last them for years. These battens are used increasingly by retailers, in shopping malls and other commercial premises, as well as in factories and similar buildings – often in new build projects, but also to replace older tubes such as CFL.
