58W IP65 5ft Emergency LED Tri-Proof Batten - Daylight 5000K

This is a 5ft sealed batten, 1500mm end to end, built for places where an open fitting would not survive long. The grey body carries a ribbed opal diffuser along its full length, held down by metal toggle clips that pull the two halves tight against the gasket. It draws 58W and gives 7,500 lumens at 5000K, a daylight white that reads crisp and slightly blue alongside a warm domestic bulb. The IP65 seal means it is fully protected against dust and against water jetted from any direction, and an emergency function is built in.

Tri-proof battens suit the parts of a building that get damp, dusty or cold: garages, workshops, plant rooms, car parks, warehouse aisles and covered loading bays. The IP65 rating also allows it in a bathroom, in zones 1, 2 and 3, though not in zone 0 inside the bath or shower itself. At 5000K the light is flat and even, which is what you want over a workbench, a vehicle bay or a wash area where seeing true colour matters more than feeling cosy. A single 7,500 lumen fitting covers a fair amount of floor, so one 5ft run is often enough for a domestic garage, while larger commercial spaces are usually planned as a grid.

It is not dimmable, so the circuit is a straightforward on and off and there is no dimmer compatibility to check. The emergency function keeps light in the space if the mains supply fails; the manufacturer does not state the emergency duration or the battery type, so confirm those if you are working to a maintained or non-maintained specification. One unit is one fitting, and the minimum order is one. If you are swapping out an old 5ft fluorescent, measure the existing housing rather than the tube, because the body normally runs longer than the lamp inside it.

Will this fit where an old 5ft fluorescent batten was?

It measures 1500mm end to end, so check your existing fixing centres and the clearance at each end before ordering, since older housings often run a little longer.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

Yes. The IP65 rating suits zones 1, 2 and 3, so it can go above a shower area, but never in zone 0 inside the bath or shower itself.

How bright is 7,500 lumens in practice?

That is a high output for one fitting, generally enough to light a single domestic garage or a short warehouse aisle on its own without a second unit.

What does 5000K daylight white look like?

It is a cool, crisp white with no yellow in it, closer to midday light than to a living room bulb, and good for judging true colour at a workbench.

Is it dimmable?

No. The specification gives Dimmable as No, so wire it to a standard on and off switch and avoid both leading edge and trailing edge dimmers.

How long does the emergency function stay lit?

The manufacturer does not state a duration or a battery type, so please check with us before specifying it against a maintained or non-maintained emergency requirement.
