Description
This twin batten fitting takes two T8 LED tubes with G13 caps, carries an IP54 rating and is listed by the maker for use indoors and outdoors. It pairs a white steel body with a polycarbonate diffuser and measures 1552mm long, 152mm wide and 57mm high. The 150 in the name refers to the 1500mm model in the range, so work from 1552mm, just over five feet, when you measure the ceiling. The tubes are not included, which leaves the light to you: brightness and colour, warmer or cooler, are set by the tubes you fit, at up to 24W each.
An IP54 rating means protection against dust and against water splashed from any direction, which makes this a practical light for a garage, workshop, utility room or storeroom, and for the ceiling of a covered carport or porch. Two cable entries allow pass-through connection, so the supply can run on from one fitting to the next, and a line of them can light a long stockroom, a warehouse aisle or the run between archive shelving. We would allow for its 57mm height where an up-and-over door or tall racking comes close to the ceiling.
Polycarbonate, used for the diffuser and the sides, is a tough plastic that resists impact and will not shatter the way glass can, while the body is steel sheet. A quick connector makes the wiring simpler, and the light source is replaceable, so when a tube eventually fails you change the tube rather than the fitting. It is a Class I fitting, which means it must be connected to earth. Plain white with a translucent, curved diffuser, it looks tidy on a painted ceiling and suits bare concrete just as well. The Meba range also comes in 600mm and 1200mm lengths, for any stretch of ceiling that needs a shorter fitting.

Frequently Asked
Are the tubes included, and which ones do I need?
The tubes are not included. It takes two T8 LED tubes with G13 caps at up to 24W each, and because T8 LED tubes come in several lengths and wiring types, check your choice against the specification sheet under Downloads, or ask us, before you order.
Can I use fluorescent tubes in it?
The maker specifies T8 LED tubes as the light source for this fitting, so it should be fitted with LED tubes rather than fluorescent ones.
Can I fit it outside?
Yes, the maker lists it for use indoors and outdoors. An IP54 rating means protection against dust and against water splashed from any direction, though not against water jets or immersion, so a carport or porch ceiling is a good place for it.
How long is it, and what does the 150 mean?
The fitting measures 1552mm long, 152mm wide and 57mm high. The 150 in its name refers to the 1500mm model in the range, so measure your space against 1552mm, which is just over five feet.
Can I link several together from one supply?
Yes. Two cable entries allow pass-through connection, so the supply can run into one fitting and on to the next, and a quick connector makes each connection simpler. It is a Class I fitting, so every one in the run must be connected to earth.
What is the cover made of?
The diffuser, which is the cover over the tubes, and the sides are polycarbonate, while the body is steel sheet. Polycarbonate is a tough plastic that resists impact and will not shatter the way glass can.
