How Do I Choose the Right Size and Wattage LED Batten?

Selecting the right LED batten comes down to matching the fitting to your space and lighting needs. Here are the main factors to consider:

• Room Size & Ceiling Height: Larger rooms or spaces with high ceilings typically need longer battens (like 5ft or 6ft) with higher lumen output to provide adequate coverage.
• Brightness (Lumens): Instead of focusing solely on wattage, look at lumens. Modern LEDs can produce over 100 lumens per watt, so check the total output to ensure it's bright enough for your space.
• Application Type: For task lighting in areas like workshops or kitchens, go for a brighter fitting. For general lighting in offices, corridors, or utility rooms, a moderate brightness level is usually sufficient.
• Colour Temperature: Choose warm white for a cosy, home-like feel; cool white or daylight is better for task-focused or commercial environments.
• Mounting Type: Some battens can be suspended or linked in series — ideal for larger or modular setups.
