Domus BOLT - Tricolour 600mm (2ft) 21W / 1200mm (4ft) 42W Diffused LED Batten

The Domus BOLT is a diffused LED batten in 600 mm or 1200 mm — a direct replacement for T8 and T5 fluorescent battens, with switchable wattage, switchable colour and an IP44 rating.

✅ Replacing a fluorescent batten — what actually changes

• No starter, no ballast, no tube to replace. A failed fluorescent tube is a recurring job; this is a sealed fitting rated for 40,000 hours.
• No flicker and no warm-up. Full output the moment it is switched.
• Roughly half the power for the same light. A 600 mm T8 fluorescent is typically 18 W plus ballast losses for around 1,200 lm; the BOLT gives 1,850 lm at 21 W, or 900 lm at 10 W.
• ✅ A “quick fix” mounting designed for the swap — the range exists specifically to go where a fluorescent batten came out.
• ⚠ Mercury. Old fluorescent tubes contain it and should not go in general waste — check your council's disposal arrangements when you take them down.

Choosing the colour, and where each belongs

3000 K, 4000 K or 5700 K, selected before installation.

• 4000 K — the default for a garage, laundry, workshop or storeroom. Crisp without being cold.
• 3000 K — warmer, for a batten that is visible from a living area.
• 5700 K — the coldest. Genuine task and inspection work.

⚠ Note the 10 W setting gives the same 900 lm at both 4000 K and 5700 K, so there is no output penalty for choosing warmer over colder at the top two settings.

⚠ IP44 — and the qualifier that matters

The datasheet is specific: the IP44 rating applies from the underside of the batten once installed into the ceiling. It is not a sealed weatherproof fitting.

• ✅ Fine in a laundry, a garage, a covered carport ceiling or a bathroom outside the shower zone.
• ⛔ Not for an exposed position, or anywhere water can reach the back of it.

It can be surface mounted or suspended — suspended is worth considering in a high garage or workshop, where dropping the batten closer to the work is more effective than a brighter one at the ceiling.

⚠ It does not dim

The wattage switch gives you two fixed levels, and that is all. There is no dimming — so do not put it on a dimmer circuit. ⚠ If you need continuous control in a workshop or garage, tell us and we will suggest an alternative.

Where it works

• Garages, laundries, workshops, storerooms and sheds.
• Direct replacement for T8 and T5 fluorescent battens.
• Suspended in a high garage or workshop, closer to the work.
• ⚠ IP44 from the underside only — not an exposed position.
• ⚠ It does not dim; the switch gives two fixed levels.
