{"product_id":"single-5ft-t8-led-ready-batten-without-ballast-white","title":"Single 5ft T8 LED-Ready Batten Without Ballast - White","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Knightsbridge T8LB15 is a 1525mm (5ft) single-tube batten fitting supplied without a ballast or driver, pre-wired for use with self-ballasted T8 LED tubes. The batten accepts one T8 LED tube up to 1500mm in length (tube sold separately), with bi-pin lampholders at each end and internal wiring that routes mains voltage directly to the lampholder pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for utility installation in workshops, garages, storage areas, plant rooms and commercial spaces where functional overhead task lighting is required, the batten mounts to ceiling or wall via two keyhole slots on the rear pressed steel tray. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor environments only. The compact 63mm width and 80mm projection allow installation in low-clearance areas above racking, workbenches and along wall-ceiling junctions where headroom is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white powder-coated pressed steel construction weighs approximately 400g, making the batten light enough to fix with standard plasterboard or masonry anchors. Because the fitting has no ballast or driver, it cannot be used with traditional fluorescent tubes — only with T8 LED tubes that carry their own internal driver circuitry. This reduces the fitting's depth and weight compared to ballasted battens, but restricts compatibility to LED-only operation. Dimmability depends entirely on whether the LED tube fitted supports dimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1525 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressed steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp dependent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1621963_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this batten be used with fluorescent tubes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The batten is supplied without a ballast or driver and is pre-wired for self-ballasted T8 LED tubes only.
