This non-corrosive batten fitting has been designed specifically for use with Crompton's range of T8 LED tubes The batten's anti-vandal design consists of a number of modular components that combine to ensure that the LED tubes it houses remain protected, both from the elements & the damaging effects of vandalism. The fitting's polycarbonate diffuser is attached to the bulb tray by a series of stainless steel clips that prevent it from being removed, & the tubes exposed. These clips are constructed from type 316 marine-grade' stainless steel; a famously rugged material with an excellent resistance to corrosion, even from salt water. The bulb tray itself is constructed from a powder coated ABS compound that protects the fitting as a whole & the tubes inside it from knocks & abrasions. It can be attached to any ceiling surface through a series of dedicated suspension eyelets that adorn the outer edge of the bulb tray. Attaching the batten to the ceiling with these (rather than drilling through the casing itself) guarantees a secure attachment that doesn't compromise the batten's integrity or IP65 rating. This robust design is well suited to a range of commercial/industrial applications, including public car parks, supermarkets, workshops & food preparation areas etc. It also removes the need for a compatible LED starter; all relevant control gear has been incorporated into the design of the batten, meaning all you need to do is wire the fitting into the mains & install the tube. Important: this IP65 rated T8 batten fitting has been wired specifically for & tested solely with Crompton's range of T8 LED tubes. Installing any other type of tube
- either from Crompton or any other competitor
- can damage both the tube & the fitting itself, while also voiding the warranty of either product. Tubes sold separately.
