Description
The Sermessa is a single-tube tri-proof batten in grey, a long, slim working light with a grey plastic body and a clear plastic diffuser held shut by clip fastenings along its length. It measures 155.8cm long, 7.3cm wide and 5.6cm high. The light source is a G13 tube rated at 2,600lm, with a colour temperature of 4000K: a neutral white, neither warm nor cold, that suits practical jobs. Its IP65 rating is the deciding fact, because it means the fitting is sealed against dust and protected from jets of water, so it can live outside on a house wall as well as indoors in a dusty or damp room.
We see it most at home in garages, workshops, utility rooms, sheds and storerooms, where one long batten spreads even light across a workbench, a row of shelves or a parked car. Outside, it suits a side passage or the wall beside a back door, anywhere you want plain, dependable light that rain will not trouble. It may suit a bathroom too, and a qualified electrician will confirm the right zone. At 0.9KG it is light, which makes it easy to handle on a ladder.
It runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains and has no switch of its own, so you control it from a wall switch, just like a ceiling light. The LED tube can be replaced by the user, and the fitting needs no separate driver. It carries energy class E. Plastic wipes clean easily, so a damp cloth over the clear diffuser now and then keeps dust and cobwebs from dimming the light. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and after that it simply gets on with the job.
