{"product_id":"58w-ip65-5ft-1500mm-single-t8-batten-fitting","title":"58W IP65 5ft 1500mm Single T8 Batten Fitting","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 5ft batten fitting built around a single T8 linear tube rated at 58W. The body measures 1500mm end to end, finished in light grey, with a clear moulded diffuser running the full length and clips spaced along it to hold the two halves together. The IP65 rating is the part that matters most: a sealed housing of this kind keeps dust out completely and stands up to water jetted at it from any direction, which is why battens of this sort get specified where an open fitting would fill with debris or catch the odd splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is specified for indoor use, and it suits the places where light has to work rather than decorate: garages, workshops, stores, plant rooms, cellars, utility rooms and covered service areas. A 5ft batten lays a long even band of light down a bench or an aisle rather than a pool under one point, so two run parallel will cover a double garage with little shadow in the corners. Because the rating is IP65, the fitting is suitable for bathroom zones 1, 2 and 3, though not for zone 0, which is the inside of the bath or shower itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitting is not dimmable, so wire it to an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer circuit. Brightness and colour temperature come from the tube you fit rather than from the fitting, so pick a cool white tube where you want a crisp working light and a warmer one where the space is used for longer stretches; check the wattage marked on your old tube before you buy a replacement. The manufacturer does not state whether a tube is supplied. Each order is for one fitting, with a minimum order of one, and it sits alongside our wider range of battens in 4ft, 5ft and 6ft lengths, including IP20 fittings, LED battens and emergency versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle tube batten fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne 5ft T8 linear tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT8 linear tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500mm long (5ft)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight grey body with a clear diffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 batten fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1, sold in multiples of 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich tube does this fitting take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes one 5ft T8 linear tube rated at 58W.
