FAQ's
A: An LED ready batten fitting is a non-integrated light fitting that is specifically designed to work with LED T8 tubes rather than traditional fluorescent tubes or integrated LED boards. These fittings come pre-wired for use with single-ended LED tubes, meaning the electrical connection is made at one end of the tube only, which simplifies installation and eliminates the need for ballasts or starters.
Unlike integrated LED battens, where the LED light source is built into the fitting, LED ready battens allow users to select and install separate LED tubes based on their desired brightness (lumens), wattage, and colour temperature. This offers greater flexibility and makes future maintenance much easier, as individual tubes can be replaced without changing the whole fitting.
LED ready batten fittings are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings such as workshops, warehouses, garages, and utility areas where durable, energy-efficient lighting is required. They also help reduce long-term costs and offer a more sustainable lighting solution by allowing re-lamping without full replacement.
A: Some LED ready batten fittings come supplied with compatible T8 LED tubes, while others are sold as empty fittings without tubes included. It depends on the specific product you choose. At LampShopOnline, each product listing will clearly state whether tubes are included or need to be purchased separately.
This flexibility allows you to choose a solution that best suits your needs. If you already have compatible LED tubes or wish to select tubes based on specific lumen output or colour temperature, you may prefer a fitting without tubes. Alternatively, buying a fitting that includes tubes offers a ready-to-install solution and ensures full compatibility between the fitting and light source.
Always double-check the product description to confirm what’s included in the box. If you’re unsure, our Customer Satisfaction Team is on hand to help you select the right fitting and tubes for your application. Contact us today!
A: Installing an LED ready batten fitting involves several key steps and should always be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with UK wiring regulations. These fittings are designed for single-ended LED tubes, meaning live and neutral connections are made at one end of the tube only.
To begin installation, isolate the mains power and prepare the area where the fitting will be mounted. The batten should be fixed securely to the ceiling or wall using appropriate fixings. Once mounted, the fitting can be connected to the mains supply, taking care to follow the wiring diagram provided with the product.
After wiring is complete, the LED tubes can be inserted into the fitting. Make sure they are correctly aligned so that the powered end connects to the wired end of the batten. Finally, secure any diffusers or covers, restore power, and test the fitting to ensure the tubes operate correctly.
Because there is no ballast or starter involved, LED ready battens are generally quicker and easier to install than traditional fluorescent fittings, and they offer excellent energy efficiency once operational.
