Phillips LED Batten Lighting on sale
I'm currently fitting out my Shed at the moment, just waiting for the Expoy flooring to dry
I had a mezz floor installed last week, 3700mm deep x 6000mm long with an usable opening of 3800mm for my work bench area, next to the bathroom.
I started to look for lighting, as its no longer got enough light from the Big LED downlight in the shed, the Mezzanine shades it.
I found these Phillips 1200mm 21 Watt battens 4000K going for a reasonable price, $25 each from this mob

I picked up 5 as there seemed cheap enough, there is a Stat sheets, but it doesn't give a CRI at all, but as ill be finishing next to a north facing 3.6m wide 5.5mtr high roller door i should get good daylight in QLD to see when sanding and oiling.
Just putting it out there if anyone is looking for LED battens at the moment.
Cheers

Not a problem, its worth sharing as most of use are guilty of not having enough light, I've never seen them that cheap before, and it is a Phillips branded light, whether that matters quality wise i don't know, but at $25 I'm giving them a go.
You will have to start wearing sunscreen and sunglasses in the workshop with 10 of them.

i also notice that they have High bay lights on sale as well.
This one would be nice directly over the workbench, at 110 Watts, Rectangular and 85 CRI and $299 I'm glad i didn't see it before i placed my order, not to sure how i would have been able to justify that to the wife apart from less sparky fees due to one hook up over 5 connections.

Although I'm wondering if 5 of the 1200mm ones is enough now... 2 of them a meter in front of the workbench, two a meter behind me and one directly over the workbench should be ample.... I think I'm just over analysing it now...

FYI. I bought 2 x Philips 21W, 2000 lumen, 4000K, 1200mm Surface mount LED Battens at Bunnings for $25.00 each. They still have OSRM 19W 1200mm LED replacements tubes for old Fluro hardware for $19.95 each, I've had 6 installed for over a year now, the difference between them and the old 46W Fluro is really night and day, they come in 4000K and 6000K, I feel 6000K is cleaner and brighter so that's what I retro fitted.

So far they are ok, haven't done any real woodworking under it yet, just making stuff for my shed.
MandJ is right, they are now at Bunnings, for $25 each as well, i saw them yesterday

We have 4 of these (6000k) in our 6m x 3m WS, however I fitted glossy white sheeting on the ceiling and have light coloured walls and white cabinets, this really makes a huge difference to room brightness - almost like bright sunlight.

Have swapped all 21 fluro tubes in the shed to LED tubes from eBay. $10 each if buying 10 at a time. AEG brand.
In older batten holders you can remove the starter and that is all that is needed. However, I found my power usage per light was better when the ballast was removed. Dropped from 97 watts to 28 watts when wired directly. Newer batten holders require removal of everything inside.
Re-wire requires you to run the active lead to one end, either terminal and the other lead to the opposite end. Technically speaking, a job for a sparky.
Used 4000K mostly with the odd 6000K. great light to work under.
Hooroo.
John.
