NOTUS 1220x300 2x36W ECG T8 Batten Ceiling Light - White

The NOTUS is a surface-mounted ceiling fitting built around twin 36W T8 fluorescent tubes on G13 caps, drawing 220-240V AC mains and managed by electronic control gear (ECG) for steady, flicker-free running. Running two tubes side by side in a rectangular steel housing gives a long, even wash of light across the area below. North American buyers will recognise this format as a surface-mounted T8 strip fixture, the workhorse layout for open ceilings where a clean, bright spread matters more than decorative detail.

Measuring 1225 x 295 x 75 mm, the NOTUS suits utility rooms, hallways, store rooms, garages and workshop corners that need dependable overhead light without recessing into the ceiling. The twin-tube layout throws a broad, fairly uniform field rather than a tight pool, so it works well over worktops, walkways and general circulation space at standard ceiling heights. As an IP20 fitting it is for dry interior use only, so keep it indoors and clear of bathrooms, damp utility areas and any sheltered-outdoor position. Mount it where the long axis of the housing runs with the direction of traffic or the run of a bench for the most usable coverage.

The body is steel finished in white, a hard-wearing shell that sits flush against the ceiling on a surface-mounted fixing. The two G13 T8 tubes are driven by an integrated electronic control gear stage rather than a magnetic ballast, which keeps weight down to 2.94 kg and start-up quick and quiet. There is no diffuser lens to soften the output, so the tubes light the space directly. The NOTUS sits within a wider range of T8 batten formats, so matching fittings can be specified across a run of rooms for a consistent look.

What size space does the NOTUS light?

With twin 36W T8 tubes it gives a broad, even spread suited to utility rooms, hallways, garages and workshop areas at standard ceiling heights. The long rectangular body washes light along its length, so it is well matched to corridors, benches and circulation routes rather than tight accent pools.

Can the NOTUS be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. It carries an IP20 rating, which means dry indoor use only. Keep it out of bathrooms, garages exposed to damp, porches and any sheltered-outdoor location, as it offers no protection against moisture or water ingress.

What does the ECG control gear do?

ECG stands for electronic control gear, which drives the two T8 tubes electronically instead of using an older magnetic ballast. This gives quick, quiet, flicker-free starting and helps keep the fitting light at 2.94 kg.

How do I keep the NOTUS clean?

Switch it off and let the tubes cool, then wipe the white steel housing with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fitting or using harsh solvents, and dust the tubes gently so output stays bright over time.
