Description
The Sermessa is a long, slim tri-proof batten with a grey plastic body and a clear plastic diffuser, held closed by a neat row of clips along each side. It measures 125.8cm long, 9.9cm wide and 5.6cm high, and it holds two G13 LED tubes for a light output of 3,400lm at 4000K, a crisp neutral white that suits close work. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is sealed against dust and protected from jets of water, so this batten can live outdoors on a house wall as happily as it lives in a dusty garage.
We see it most at home in the hard-working corners of a house: the garage, the workshop, the utility room, a shed or an outbuilding, and the outside wall beside a back door or the ceiling of a carport. Neutral white light at this output suits a workbench, a laundry sorting area or a wall of shelves where you need to find things quickly. With its IP65 rating it may also be suggested for a bathroom, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone. The plain grey and clear finish keeps the look practical, so it sits quietly on a ceiling or a wall and lets the room do its job.
There is no switch on the batten itself, as it is switched at the wall, and it runs from 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician. The LED tubes can be replaced by the user and there is no separate driver, so when a tube needs changing the swap is a simple job. It sits in energy class E, and at 1.2KG it is light and easy to handle. As a practical note, give the clear diffuser an occasional wipe with a soft, damp cloth while the power is isolated, so the cover stays clear and bright.
