MAH 1265 (236) 2x36W IP65 Batten Light 1260x120 - Grey

The MAH (236) is a twin-tube batten light built around two 36W G13 T8 lamps in a rectangular grey housing measuring 1265 x 125 x 92 mm. Running on a 220-240V AC supply, it gives broad, even illumination along its full length, the kind of practical output that suits a working space rather than a decorative room. North American buyers will know this format as a shop light or wraparound fixture, the long surface batten that runs overhead across a ceiling line.

Because it carries an IP65 weatherproof rating, the MAH is at home in damp and dusty places where a standard fitting would not last. Think garages, workshops, car parks, store rooms and sheltered utility areas, plus exposed outdoor positions that see rain and wind. Mounted to the ceiling along the line you want lit, a single unit covers a workbench, a parking bay or a section of corridor, and several can be spaced in a row down a longer run to keep light levels consistent end to end. As task and utility lighting rather than ambient room lighting, its job is to throw clear, shadow-free working light over the area directly below.

Construction is a plastic body in a grey finish, with the IP65 seal keeping moisture and dust out of the electrical parts. The twin 36W tubes seat into G13 bi-pin holders and the unit is ceiling mounted, fixing flat against the surface above. It weighs 1.88 kg, so it sits securely on standard ceiling fixings. This fitting is not dimmable, which is the usual arrangement for a fluorescent-style utility batten. Other lengths and outputs sit alongside it in the MAH range for matching a run of fittings across a larger space.

Where can this batten be used?

It is built for utility and working spaces such as garages, workshops, car parks, store rooms and damp utility areas. The IP65 rating also makes it suitable for exposed outdoor positions. It gives broad, even light along its length, which suits a workbench or a parking bay well.

Is it weatherproof?

Yes. The MAH (236) carries an IP65 rating, so it is sealed against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. That means it copes with rain, wind and the moisture found in unheated garages and outdoor settings.

Can several be linked in a run?

The fitting is sized at 1265 mm long, so multiple units can be ceiling mounted in a spaced row to light a longer area evenly. Each runs from a 220-240V AC supply. For continuous coverage, space them so the output overlaps along the working line below.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Wipe the grey housing and the lamp area with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth once the unit is switched off and cool. Avoid harsh solvents that could mark the plastic. The two 36W tubes use standard G13 bi-pin caps, so they can be replaced when they reach the end of their life.
