The fitting uses a high-frequency soft start ballast that reduces the initial lamp strike surge and extends tube lifespan by limiting thermal shock. The batten can be mounted on walls or ceilings using the integrated back plate and accepts standard T5 28W tubes (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for commercial, retail, educational and industrial environments where continuous overhead lighting is needed, the batten suits corridors, storage areas, workshops, classrooms and back-of-house spaces. The IP20 rating limits use to dry internal locations only — the fitting is not suitable for bathrooms, outdoor use, or areas where moisture or dust ingress is a concern. The 1175mm length provides a continuous light run when fittings are installed end-to-end in rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pressed steel construction gives the fitting mechanical strength for ceiling mounting without adding excessive weight, and the white finish reflects light upwards when ceiling-mounted, improving overall room brightness. The polycarbonate lamp holders and end caps provide electrical insulation and resist thermal stress from the tube ends. The fitting requires mains earthing (Class I) and connects to 230V 50Hz supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1175mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82.5°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressed steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/datasheet-T5128.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tube does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe batten accepts a standard 28W T5 fluorescent tube, 1163mm long with G5 bi-pin caps at each end.
