What is an LED batten light?

This question requires a two part answer. 

First, LED stands for light emitting diode and LED lights produce light approximately 90% more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs. They also produce less heat, last longer and consume less energy than colour temperature, fluorescent lights. Energy.gov reported that, “LEDs use about 75% less energy than halogen light bulbs and last 5-10 times longer, greatly reducing replacement costs and the number of light bulbs ending up in landfill.” Batten lights are also more environmentally friendly as their light output requires minimal energy.

Second, a batten light is a style of light product, most commonly used in warehouses, sheds and industrial business type buildings. They are usually a long tube light, generally either 600mm (2ft) or 1200mm (4ft) in length, designed to provide uniform, brilliant lighting.

In short, an LED batten light is a long, “batten”-style, energy-efficient light fittings that are commonly used in commercial environments as a ceiling light. A perfect replacement instead of having other forms of lighting in a large space, thanks to the cool white colour and unique design.

Which is better LED or tube light?

Due to the shape of the batten light, they are made with tube lighting. In this form, LED tube lighting is still the better choice of light, primarily because testing has shown that LED tube lighting lasts about 40,000 hours longer and are far more energy efficient. In the short and long term, LED batten lights will save you more money and impact the environment less.
