Noben 600 18W LED Batten Light Colour Selectable IP54 - White

The Noben is a slim LED batten light running at a switchable 12, 15 or 18 watts, drawing direct from a 220-240V AC supply. Set to 18W it delivers up to 2200 lumens, with the 12W and 15W steps giving up to 1450 and 1800 lumens for lower-demand areas. Colour temperature is selectable across 3000K, 4000K and 6500K, so the same fitting can run warm white, neutral white or a crisp daylight tone. A wide 120 degree beam spreads light evenly along the length of the fixture, which is what US buyers tend to look for under the term shop light or wraparound light.

Set to its full 18W output the Noben covers around 5 to 7 m² at general lighting levels, making it a practical choice for utility rooms, cupboards, hallways, small workshops and garage bays. Its IP54 rating means it resists splashes and dust, so it also suits sheltered spots such as a covered porch or carport, and damp utility corners where a fully sealed fitting is not required. Keep it clear of fully exposed positions, direct water jets and any submerged use. Mounted to a wall or ceiling, the compact 600mm length keeps it discreet while still lighting a working area cleanly from a single point.

The body is moulded polycarbonate in a white finish, measuring 600 by 62 by 27 mm and weighing just 180 g, so it mounts easily to a wall or ceiling surface. The integrated LEDs are rated for around 30,000 hours and carry a CRI of Ra 80 for honest colour reproduction in task settings. This is a non-dimmable fitting, designed for straightforward on-off switching, and the colour temperature is set at install via the selector. The Noben range includes further wattage options for matching output across a run of rooms.

Where is this batten typically used?

It suits garages, workshops, utility rooms, cupboards and hallways where even, practical light is needed. With its IP54 rating it also works in sheltered outdoor spots such as a covered porch or carport. It is not suitable for fully exposed positions or direct water jets.

Is the Noben weatherproof for damp areas?

It carries an IP54 rating, which means it resists splashes and dust ingress. That makes it fine for damp utility corners and bathroom zones away from direct spray. Avoid using it where it would be hit by water jets or fully exposed to the elements.

How do I choose the wattage and colour temperature?

The fitting offers selectable 12, 15 or 18W output, giving up to 1450, 1800 or 2200 lumens, plus a switchable 3000K, 4000K or 6500K tone. You set both at installation to suit the room. Warm white at 3000K suits living areas, while 6500K daylight suits workshops and garages.

How do I clean the fitting?

Switch off the supply and let the unit cool, then wipe the polycarbonate diffuser with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can mark the white finish. A regular wipe keeps light output bright over its 30,000 hour rated life.
