LED Batten Lights
LED Batten Lights for Trade, Commercial and Home Use
LED batten lights are slim, surface mounted linear fittings with built in LEDs, used where an older fluorescent tube fitting would often have been installed. They are practical for garages, workshops, stockrooms, corridors, utility rooms and commercial back of house areas because they give a clean strip of light without separate tubes or starters.
BrittLite currently lists 2ft, 4ft and 6ft cool white LED batten options in this category. The range suits trade buyers, facilities teams and home users who need simple linear lighting with UK stock, UK support, 30 day returns, and certified fittings.
LED Batten Sizes: 2ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft
| Size | Length in mm | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 2ft LED batten | 600mm | Small utility rooms, cupboards, work benches and short runs |
| 3ft LED batten | 900mm | Intermediate runs where 2ft is too short and 4ft is too long |
| 4ft LED batten | 1200mm | Garages, workshops, corridors, stockrooms and general task lighting |
| 5ft LED batten | 1500mm | Larger garages, stores and commercial areas needing longer light coverage |
| 6ft LED batten | 1800mm | Longer workshop bays, warehouse aisles and wider utility spaces |
The stocked 2ft LED batten is an 18W cool white fitting for shorter spaces and local task areas. The stocked 4ft 36W batten suits garage LED battens, workshops and small commercial rooms. The stocked 6ft LED batten light is a 60W cool white option for longer runs.
BrittLite does not currently list 3ft or 5ft battens in this category. For a 3ft LED batten, 5ft LED batten, led batten lights 4ft, led batten lights 6ft, or project quantities, send the requirement through the Get a Quote page.
What to Look for When Buying LED Battens
Wattage and lumens
Wattage tells you the electrical load, but lumens tell you the light output. The live product pages confirm wattage for the stocked battens, but they do not list lumen output. Choose by wattage and fitting length, then ask the team if a project needs a lumen target.
Colour temperature
Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin. Cool white is commonly chosen for task focused spaces because it gives a clear, bright appearance. Natural white is softer, while warm white is more common in relaxed domestic spaces. The stocked battens in this category are listed as cool white.
IP rating and non corrosive fittings
Indoor LED battens are often used in dry garages, stores and corridors. Where fittings may face dust, moisture or weather, look for the stated IP rating. An IP65 LED batten or non corrosive LED batten is normally the safer direction for exposed outbuildings, car parks and outdoor LED batten lights, but choose those features only when the product page confirms them.
Single, twin, emergency, dimmable and linkable options
A twin LED batten can give a wider spread than a single fitting. A dimmable LED batten needs compatible control gear. An emergency LED batten must be chosen where maintained emergency lighting is required. Linkable LED battens are useful for longer rows. These features are not confirmed on the current product pages, so check with the team before specifying them.
Where to Use LED Batten Lights
LED battens work well where the job calls for practical linear light rather than a decorative fitting. They fit garage LED battens, lighting for garage projects, workshops, plant rooms, stockrooms, warehouse lighting, offices, corridors and utility spaces.
For broader project planning, compare BrittLite commercial LED lighting across panels, battens, flood lights and high bay fittings. Larger warehouses or high ceilings may need UFO high bays and floodlights. Offices and corridors may suit LED ceiling lights for offices or LED frame lights. For exposed areas, compare outdoor and weatherproof lighting. For a lower profile accent rather than a full LED batten fitting, look at LED strip lights.
Replacing Fluorescent Tube Fittings with LED Battens
A fluorescent tube replacement LED project can mean fitting an LED tube into a compatible existing body, or replacing the old fitting with an integral LED batten. An integral LED batten is the complete fitting, with the LEDs built in. It removes the need for separate fluorescent tubes and starters.
People switch to LED batten lighting for instant full brightness, lower maintenance and simpler replacement planning. If you are comparing a 5ft LED tube with a complete led tube light fitting replacement, check the existing body, wiring arrangement and required light output before ordering.
Installing LED Battens
Most battens are surface mounted to a ceiling or fixing point and wired into a lighting circuit. Some ranges may allow fittings to run in a row, but linkable operation must be confirmed on the product page or with the supplier.
Electrical work should be carried out by a qualified electrician. UK installations must meet Part P and BS 7671. Do not use product copy as wiring instruction. Follow the manufacturer information supplied with the fitting.

FAQs About LED Battens
What is a batten light?
A batten light is a slim linear fitting that is usually fixed directly to a ceiling or surface. Traditional battens used fluorescent tubes. Modern LED battens use built in LEDs, so the whole fitting is normally replaced when moving from an old fluorescent unit.
Are LED batten lights any good?
Yes, LED battens are a good choice for practical task lighting in garages, workshops, stores and commercial spaces. They give a straightforward line of light, start instantly and remove the need to replace tubes or starters in a traditional fluorescent fitting.
Are LED batten lights dimmable?
Some LED battens are dimmable, but only when the product and control gear are designed for dimming. Do not assume dimming is supported unless the product page states it. The current BrittLite batten pages do not confirm dimmable operation.
How many LED battens do I need for a garage?
The number depends on the garage size, ceiling height, layout and the work carried out there. A single small garage may use fewer fittings than a workshop with benches and storage. For an accurate plan, measure the space and ask for advice before ordering.
Can I replace a fluorescent fitting with an LED batten?
Yes, a qualified electrician can usually replace an old fluorescent fitting with an integral LED batten, provided the circuit and fixing position are suitable. This replaces the fitting, not the tube. The final method depends on the existing wiring and site condition.
What cable size should be used for LED battens?
The cable size depends on the circuit design, protective device, installation method and load. A qualified electrician should specify it under BS 7671. Category content should not be used as wiring design advice.
What is the brightest LED batten light?
The brightest fitting is the one with the highest suitable lumen output, not simply the longest body or highest wattage. The current BrittLite batten pages confirm 18W, 36W and 60W options, but do not list lumens. Ask for output details if brightness is critical.
