LED Batten Lights Buying Guide

How To Select Led Batten Lights?

Check the lumens of the lighting fixture

s

While selecting batten lights, you are likely to check the wattage, which indicates its brightness. But the brightness of LEDs is calculated in a different manner. Unlike incandescent lightings, watts do not determine the brightness of batten lights. Instead, lumen (lm) is used to measure an LED battens brightness. This is the major area which you will need to focus upon, once you start looking for LED batten lights.

Select the LED batten light according to their colours

If you do not prefer a white light with a glare which is offered by LEDs of older models, then you should go for newer options. Batten lights have a wide range of colours, range from warm yellow white which is similar to colour emitted by incandescent lightings to a white colour of a brighter shade or bluish white.

Check the package of the batten light for the colour of light which is indicated by its temperature on Kelvin scale. The ones which have a lower Kelvin produce warm-coloured light. The higher the Kelvin of batten lighting, the bluer will be the colour of the light it produces. Yellow batten lights have a Kelvin scale of 2700-3000K while the white and blue ones have a Kelvin scale between 3500-4100K and 5000-6500K respectively.

Colour Rendering Index(CRI)

Each batten light comes with a CRI score. Colour Rendering Index refers to the measurement of a lighting fixtures ability to characterize various colours. Therefore, while selecting a batten light, go for the one with CRI which denotes the natural colour.

Beam Angle

Beam angle refers to the degree of width which light produces from a source of light. In other words, it is the angle between opposing points on beam axis where intensity can go down to 50% to the maximum. LED batten lights come with a wide variety of beam angles. A wide bead angle floods an area with light is known as a flood light. On the other hand, a narrow beam angle is called a spot of light, known as a spotlight. Major factors which you will need to focus on while considering a beam angle for a ceiling light is the light fittings distribution, ceiling light and desired intensity in certain areas.

LED chip quality

The performance offered by a LED batten light depends on the LED chip. Therefore, you will need to focus on the type of LED chip that your lighting fixture possesses. Chips of good quality have a higher durability and tend to depreciate less over time in case of light output as well as light quality. However, you will need to spend a higher amount to acquire a LED chip of high quality. Therefore, check the LED chips well before burning.

Durability of the batten light

Lifespan is another important factor to which you will have to pay attention to. The durability of these lighting fixtures is usually between 30,000-50,000 and therefore can last up to 10-12 years , which is far more than fluorescent lightings. The lifespan of these bulbs is also dependent on the heat sink which is used for drawing heat way from both the LED driver and chip. Dimmability and the presence of a good heat sink are two major factors that play an important role in extending the lifespan of these sinks.

Dimmability

The ambiance of a room is greatly dependent on the amount of light present within it. You can control it using dimmable batten lights. Illumination can be controlled using dimmable LED batten lights. The amount of light can be turned up or down using a dimmer switch. However, the power of the batten light is minimised. Therefore, you will have to consider while choosing a LED batten light. T8 tubelights have a lifespan of 10-15 years and incur a cost of Rs 1600-2000. T5 LED tube lights on the other hand incur a cost of Rs 500 but have a lifespan of 3-4 years only.

There is a visible difference between LED batten lights of high and low quality is that the inferior ones have a lower quality of power supply, lumen output, and a limited lifespan. This is the major reason why there is a significant difference in price of LED batten lightings of different models.

How To Install Led Batten Lights?

You will need to assemble the lighting fixture by pressing the two mounting clips into the LED batten. You are likely to hear a snapping noise. Then mount this lighting fixture to the area where you want to install it, using two self-tapping flathead screws into each mounting bracket. Then, connect the leader cable to the first LED fixtures male plague. You are likely to hear two clicking noises. Once you have done that, take out the endcap from each side.

Then keep placing the fixtures, but ensure that both male and female plugs are joined. Also, attach jumper cables as required to work around all types of corners, separations, and complications. Once you have done that, connect the black and white wires of AC line to leader cables wires of the same colour with the help of wire nuts.
