18W Linkable LED Striplight 3000K Warm White - 1138mm

The Knightsbridge 18W linkable LED striplight is a 1138mm white polycarbonate batten fitting with an integrated LED module delivering 1450 lumens at 3000K warm white. The fitting runs on 230V mains voltage via a 2m power cord and can be linked end-to-end using the included coupler or optional link leads, allowing up to 12 fittings to be connected in a single run with independent switching on each unit.

Designed for under-cabinet lighting, kitchen worktop illumination, cove lighting and retail shelf displays, the striplight mounts horizontally or vertically using the included fixing clips. The slim 22.8mm width and 36mm projection fit tight spaces under wall cabinets and inside alcoves without protruding into the room. The opal diffuser softens the LED source and spreads light across a 145-degree beam angle, reducing harsh shadows under cabinets and along shelving.

The Class II polycarbonate construction provides double insulation without needing an earth connection, simplifying installation in older properties where earth cables may not be present at every lighting point. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor environments including kitchens, offices, shops and residential utility spaces. The non-dimmable design runs at full 18W output whenever switched on, providing consistent brightness without requiring dimmer compatibility.

The 103.2 lumens-per-watt efficacy sits in the mid-range for integrated LED fittings and the L70B50 rating of 54,000 hours indicates the point at which 50% of a batch would drop to 70% of initial lumen output, translating to approximately 15 years of use at 10 hours per day before noticeable dimming occurs.

Product Specification Sheet

Product Manual

How many striplights can be linked together?

Up to 12 fittings can be connected in a single run using the included couplers or optional link leads. Each fitting can be independently switched, allowing sections of the run to be controlled separately if needed.

Can this be used under kitchen cabinets?

Yes. The 22.8mm width and 36mm projection fit most standard wall cabinet depths, and the 1450 lumens output provides adequate task lighting for worktop preparation areas. The warm white 3000K colour temperature suits residential kitchens.

Is it dimmable?

No. The integrated LED runs at full 18W output when switched on and is not compatible with dimmer switches.

What does IP20 mean for installation?

IP20 indicates the fitting is protected against solid objects larger than 12mm but has no water ingress protection. It is suitable for dry indoor environments only, not for bathrooms, outdoor locations or areas where moisture or steam is present.
