Description
The Knightsbridge 5ft LED emergency batten is a 1525mm linear ceiling fitting delivering 4290lm through an opal polycarbonate diffuser at 4000K cool white, powered by a 37W integrated LED achieving 148lm/W efficacy. The emergency function operates in maintained, non-maintained or switched modes, providing 205lm emergency output when mains power fails. The pressed steel housing mounts via rear and end conduit fixings or standard 600mm centres compatible with BESA boxes.
Designed as a direct replacement for conventional 5ft fluorescent battens in commercial, industrial and public-access spaces requiring emergency lighting compliance, the fitting suits corridors, stairwells, plant rooms, workshops and storage areas. The hinged gear tray opens to reveal push-fit loop-in loop-out terminals, allowing multiple battens to be daisy-chained without junction boxes. The 145° beam angle distributes light evenly across the full length of the fitting, minimising dark patches between multiple battens installed on a grid.
The white-painted steel body measures 61mm wide by 71mm deep, a low-profile form that fits beneath 2.4m ceilings without dominating sightlines. The opal diffuser hides the LED strip inside and softens the light output to reduce glare in spaces with reflective floors. The Class I earthed construction requires connection to a protective earth conductor, and the IP20 rating limits installation to dry indoor environments only. The L70B50 rating of 50,000 hours predicts the LED will retain 70% of its initial output after approximately 5.7 years of continuous operation.

Frequently Asked
What emergency modes are supported?
The batten operates in maintained (always on), non-maintained (only on during power failure), or switched modes. In emergency mode it delivers 205lm for the duration of the battery charge. Configuration is set during installation via the control gear inside the hinged tray.
How is it mounted?
The batten mounts via rear and end conduit fixings, or using the standard 600mm centre spacing compatible with BESA boxes. The hinged gear tray opens to reveal push-fit terminals for loop-in loop-out connection, allowing multiple battens to be wired in series without additional junction boxes.
Can it be used in damp or outdoor environments?
No. The IP20 rating limits installation to dry indoor environments only. For damp rooms, plant rooms with condensation, or outdoor covered areas, an IP65-rated batten is required.
What is the expected lifespan?
The LED has an L70B50 rating of 50,000 hours, meaning it will retain 70% of its initial output after approximately 5.7 years of continuous operation. The 5-year warranty excludes the emergency battery, which will require replacement at intervals depending on usage and temperature.
