Description
The Knightsbridge BATS6EM is a 1790mm (6ft) 42W LED emergency batten with integrated emergency lighting function supporting maintained, non-maintained and switched emergency modes. The fitting delivers 4875lm at 4000K cool white through an opal polycarbonate diffuser, achieving 148lm/W efficacy from the latest-generation LED chip technology. The emergency function provides 290lm output in emergency mode with a battery backup system housed in the hinged gear tray.
Designed as a direct replacement for conventional 6ft fluorescent tube battens in commercial, industrial and residential settings requiring emergency lighting provision, the fitting mounts to standard 600mm ceiling centres and BESA boxes. Rear and end conduit fixing points allow cable entry from multiple directions. The hinged gear tray and push-fit loop-in/loop-out terminals enable single-step installation without needing to disconnect the fitting from the ceiling once positioned. The 150° beam angle distributes even light across corridors, workshops, storage areas, stairwells and plant rooms.
The batten body is constructed from pressed steel with a white powder-coated finish and an opal polycarbonate diffuser that softens the LED output and reduces glare. At 61mm wide and 71mm projection, the fitting sits flat to the ceiling without dominating the space. The IP20 rating suits dry internal environments. The LED module is rated for 50,000 hours L70B50 lifespan, reducing maintenance frequency compared to fluorescent equivalents. The 5-year warranty covers the fitting and driver but excludes the emergency battery pack.

Frequently Asked
What emergency modes does this batten support?
The fitting supports maintained, non-maintained and switched emergency modes. Maintained mode keeps the LED lit during mains power and switches to battery during power cuts. Non-maintained mode activates the emergency lighting only during power cuts. Switched mode allows manual control while retaining emergency backup capability.
How is it installed?
The batten mounts to standard 600mm ceiling centres or BESA boxes using rear and end conduit fixing points. The hinged gear tray and push-fit loop-in/loop-out terminals allow the fitting to be wired and secured to the ceiling in a single step without needing to disconnect the fitting once positioned.
Can it replace existing fluorescent tube battens?
Yes. The 1790mm length and 600mm fixing centres match conventional 6ft fluorescent batten dimensions, making this a direct LED replacement. The rear and end conduit entry points support existing cable runs without needing to re-route wiring.
What is the emergency battery runtime?
The emergency battery provides 290lm output during mains failure. Runtime depends on battery capacity and is typically specified in the product manual. The 5-year warranty excludes the battery pack, which is a consumable component requiring periodic replacement.
