Generally, car parking, workshops, underpasses, etc. don’t have a good source of light hence they require proper lighting. In such scenarios, batten lights offer a good substitute for natural light. Different types of batten lights are available such as fluorescent, LED, waterproof, etc which offers solution if chosen rightly. Each type of light has its own features. It's also necessary to have sufficient light so that no spot is left poorly lit.

What is a batten light.

Batten light is a kind of luminaire that is usually used to light up different spaces uniformly. Two significant parts to batten lights are a fluorescent tube and a fixture. Nowadays, LED batten lights are commonly used because of their higher energy efficiency. Both indoor and outdoor versions of these lights are available in the market.

What is a non-corrosive batten fitting.
Non corrosive batten fitting is used at special areas where resistance to gases and humidity is required. These lights are also named as vapor proof lights, anti-corrosive light, tri-proof lights, LED weatherproof lights, or LED waterproof lights fitting. These lights are also resistant to dust shocks, harsh weather and water.

What is the difference between batten light and non-corrosive batten fitting

These lights can be differentiated based on various features, which are as follows:

● Structure
The lights have a slightly different structure but provide uniform light and consume less energy.

Batten light: Batten light is manufactured with a metal base and PC diffuser. These lights have many styles, and it’s a single-piece design attached with a cap and a compact design that enhances the space.

Non-corrosive batten fitting: They are manufactured with a PC base and also a PC diffuser. The non-corrosive lights have only one style, and it doesn’t need to be attached to an end cap.

●IP rating
The IP rating refers to the light which is appropriate for outdoor or indoor purposes.

Batten light: the IP20-rated batten light is used for indoor purposes.

Non-corrosive batten fitting: for the outdoor spaces, the batten fitting should be IP65 rated, which is water and dust-proof and will also prevent corrosion.

● Applications
These lights are widely used in different indoor and outdoor spaces.

Batten light: It produces the light uniformly and is commonly used in schools, hospitals, offices, kitchens, shopping malls, etc.

Non-corrosive batten fitting: these types of batten lights are used in humid and dusty spaces and where there are high chances of corrosion, like car parking, underpasses, bridges, warehouses, etc.

Conclusion

LED Batten lights consume less energy, produce less heat, are eco-friendly, easy to maintain, and long-lasting compared to fluorescent and other batten lights. Although, non-corrosive batten lights are a better choice as compared to LED batten lights which are also used in humid and bare spaces and are also cost-effective. These kinds of lights provide uniform light and help in power saving.
