Batten Lights

Batten lights are the practical workhorse of home and commercial lighting — spreading a wide, even beam that's ideal for garages, laundries, sheds, corridors, car parks and fire escapes. Modern LED battens run cool, last for years and use a fraction of the power of old fluorescent tubes, with no starters or ballasts to fail.

Popular Batten Types

Choose 600mm for compact spaces or 1200mm for larger areas, and look for tri-colour (CCT) models to set the light warm or daylight-cool. Weatherproof IP65 battens suit carports and outdoor undercover areas, while sensor and anti-insect versions add convenience. For a lower-profile finish see batten fix lights, and for whole-room coverage compare oyster lights. For flexible accent runs, compare LED strips, and explore the wider LED lights range for matching fittings throughout the home.

Choosing Batten Lights

Match length to the space — a single 1200mm batten covers a standard single garage bay, while laundries and hallways often only need a 600mm unit. For colour, 5700K daylight gives crisp, shadow-free light in workshops and garages, while 4000K cool white suits general utility areas. Outdoors or in damp areas such as carports, choose an IP65-rated batten to resist dust and moisture. Sensor models are handy for garages and entries where hands-free switching helps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length batten do I need for a garage? A 1200mm batten suits a single bay; larger garages benefit from two or more units spaced evenly for even coverage.

Can battens be used outside? Only IP65-rated weatherproof battens should be used in carports, eaves and other exposed or damp positions.
