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 with LED technology, these batten lights can last up to 15 years! So when choosing between different types of lights, you should consider what is most important to you in terms of performance and longevity before purchasing your first set.
Here are some factors to help you choose the right LED batten lights for your commercial space:
Cooling Requirements
Some LED batten lights to come with heat sinks and fans, which means they’re more energy-efficient and less likely to overheat. These also tend to be better in environments where there are many air vents nearby that can help dissipate the heat.
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
Make sure the LED battens cover the area you want illuminating. If it’s too small, it may not provide you with the proper light. If it is too large, the lights will be more expensive and use more energy than necessary.
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
Depending on the material of the lights, some may not be easy to install. If you plan to install them yourself, make sure you know what is involved with the installation before buying them. And if the professional installation will cost more than the actual lights themselves, it might be best to choose a different product.
Also, if the lights are expensive to replace or maintain, they may not be the most economical option for you based on your needs.
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.
Sensor
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
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 with your purchase. 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.
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.
