MAH LED HI 38W IP65 Batten Light 110 deg (38W) 1180x80 Cool White - Grey

The MAH LED HI is a weatherproof linear batten that draws 38W and puts out 5000 lumens, running from a 220-240V AC supply with an efficiency of 132 lm/W. Across the US market this style of fitting is widely known as an LED shop light, the long surface-mounted strip you see running along garage and workshop ceilings. Its 4000K cool white tone gives a clean, neutral light, and the wide 110 degree beam spreads that output evenly along the length of the run rather than pooling it underneath. At 1175mm long it covers a useful stretch of ceiling from a single fixing point.

At 5000 lumens the MAH LED HI lights around 17 m² at general lighting levels, which suits a single-car garage bay, a workshop, a utility room or a section of a larger store or car park where several can be run in line. The IP65 rating means it copes with damp, dust and direct splashing, so it works in unheated or exposed spaces as well as covered outdoor areas where ordinary indoor battens would not last. Mounted to a ceiling or a wall, it throws light across the working area and is best spaced in parallel rows for full, shadow-free coverage of a wide floor.

The body is moulded polycarbonate in a grey finish, rated IP65 against water and dust and IK08 for impact resistance, so it stands up to knocks in busy practical settings. It mounts directly to a ceiling or wall surface and is not dimmable, running at a fixed output rated for 50,000 hours. The rectangular profile measures 1175 by 80 by 70mm and weighs 1.30kg. Kanlux offers this batten across several wattages, so a single run can be matched to the length and brightness a space needs.

Where is this batten best used?

The MAH LED HI suits garages, workshops, utility rooms, car parks and store areas where a robust, no-frills light source is needed. Its IP65 rating also allows use in damp and dusty conditions and covered outdoor spaces. Several can be run in parallel rows to light a wide floor evenly.

Is it weatherproof enough for exposed and wet locations?

Yes. The fitting is rated IP65, which means it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. That makes it suitable for damp utility spaces and sheltered outdoor areas. The IK08 rating also gives it solid resistance to impacts.

Can several be linked together in a run?

The MAH LED HI is designed to be installed in series along a ceiling, with units spaced in a line or in parallel rows to cover larger areas. Each fixture is wired to the 220-240V AC mains supply. Spacing them evenly gives consistent, shadow-free light across the floor below.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the polycarbonate body with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, with the power switched off first. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can mark the diffuser and dull the light output. In dusty workshop or garage settings a regular wipe keeps the 5000 lumen output at its best.
