Batten lights are the best option for commercial lighting because they cover a large area and offer high efficiency. They also provide excellent illumination, making them perfect for any space that needs bright light.

And Led batten lights can last up to 15 years! When deciding among various lighting options, prioritize performance and durability to make an informed choice before buying your initial set.

Here are some factors to help you choose the right LED batten lights for your commercial space:

Cooling Requirements

Certain LED batten lights come equipped with heat sinks and fans, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing the risk of overheating. This feature is particularly advantageous in spaces with ample nearby air vents to aid in heat dissipation.

Additionally, you can also consider installing a heat sink and fan system beneath the batten lights to help cool them down. In most cases, you will need professional installation for this, or it will look tacky with wires sticking out from your ceiling.

Lighting Coverage

Ensure the LED battens cover your desired area for illumination. If too small, they may not provide sufficient light; if too large, they’ll be costlier and consume excess energy.

A good rule of thumb to follow would be 5-10 watt LED chips per square foot for your business space. To figure out how many lights you need, multiply that by the length of your ceiling.

Installation and Maintenance Cost

Consider the material of the lights, as some may pose challenges during installation. If you intend to install them personally, ensure you understand the installation process before making a purchase. If professional installation costs surpass the light fixtures’ actual price, it’s advisable to explore alternative products. Also, if the lights are expensive to replace or maintain, they may not be the most economical option for you based on your needs. 

Following are the installation and wiring for led batten light. Please remember that this is a general guide, the specific wiring may vary depending on the LED batten light model and any additional features it may have (such as dimming or sensor functions). Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with a qualified electrician if you have any doubts. Additionally, adhere to local electrical codes and regulations.

Lighting Control Options

You can connect many types of LED batten lights to a central control system so that you only need one set of controls for an entire building’s worth of lights. If this interests you, be sure to ask your lighting expert about this feature before purchase.

Moreover, the more control options you have, the easier it will be for you to use the lights. 

Dimmable

  • PWM, 0/1-10V, DALI dimmable optional
  • Free flicker during dimming

Sensor

  • Motion sensor, PIR Sensor, Microwave sensor optional
  • Sensor distance 10-14meter
  • 100% power when there is any motion or somebody, then only 30% power if no motion.

For example, some systems allow you to set a schedule based on the time of day (e.g., 8 am-6 pm). Timers can also save you money by turning off unused lights during non-business hours.

Energy Efficiency

Emergency Kit

  • Li-battery backup, stable quality.
  • Duration 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours optional

LEDs are known for being extremely energy efficient, but there are many different factors to consider when choosing one. For example, a high-quality LED batten light with a higher wattage may actually save you money if used in an area that needs more light.

And something else to keep in mind is the location where the light will be. For example, if you have a large open space that doesn’t need to be lit very much, an energy-efficient LED batten light may not be the best option for your business space.

Most companies that sell LED batten lights will include an LED lighting guide. This will let you know how much money you can save per year by using their product instead of traditional light sources.

Durability and Reliability

If you are looking into purchasing a multi-year warranty, then the durability/reliability of the lights should be something you consider.

Also, if there are any kinds of LED batten lights that require a lot of maintenance and/or repair, you want to avoid those as well. It may cost more money in the long run because of the issues it creates for your business space.

  • Competitive Price: Most of the led lights, especially led street light, led flood lights, led high bay, downlights, track lighting is much more competitive in price than other suppliers.
  • Long warranty period: 2years warranty at least, it is ok to extend 5 to 10years according to the customer’s requirements. We will bear all costs for all fault led within guaranteed periods.
  • Longest Lifespan: Most of the led lights we produced in 2013 until now are still working well. A long lifespan will save you much more cost for replacements.

Lighting Experts Near You

The installation process is difficult for some people, and it’s a lot easier to have lighting experts install the LED fixtures for you. If you don’t know how to do this yourself or are not comfortable installing them, ask your local lighting store to offer installation services.

You may also want to consider hiring professionals when working with LEDs in general due to their high cost and difficulty of installation. It may be more cost-effective to hire a professional lighting designer or company rather than taking the risk yourself.

Lighting Design Expertise

While you must choose the most energy-efficient/ and cost-effective LED batten lights, your overall goal should be to create a cohesive design scheme when designing the lighting for your business.

A good rule of thumb to follow would be that you should spend just as much time choosing lighting fixtures as you choose to paint, tiles, and other design elements. You want to keep the ambiance and mood in mind when working with lights, so if you’re not a professional designer/lighting expert, make sure you take the time to visit a few.

And if you are going to do some of your own research on lighting design, be sure that you know how to use these tools to get an accurate reading of what will work best for your business space and needs.
