The Anka 0600 is a 600mm LED batten ceiling light inblack or white 18W giving 1,600lm, withswitchable 2700K / 3000K / 4000K andCRI above 90.

CRI above 90 on a batten that is genuinely unusual

Battens are the most utilitarian fitting in any range. They go ingarages, laundries, workshops, sheds and pantries, and they are normally specifiedon price and lumens alone, sitting at CRI 80 or below. The Anka isabove 90. In a laundry that means you can match colours; in aworkshop it means you can see what you are actually working on. It is the reason tochoose it over the cheapest batten on the shelf.

A warm-shifted colour range, which battens almost never offer

2700K, 3000K or 4000K, switchable and note there isno cool setting at all. Most battens are fixed at4000K or 6500K, which is why they look institutional. At2700K the Anka can sit in a hallway, a pantry or a walk-in robe withoutannouncing itself as workshop lighting. That flexibility is what takes a batten out of the garage.

A small conflict, stated for completeness. Our datasheetgives the middle setting as 3200K where the record and the page say3000K. We publish 3000. It is a difference you would struggle to see, and itis the second product we have found with that exact discrepancy.

1,600 lumens from 18 watts

89lm/W efficient, and enough to light a single-car garage,a laundry or a large pantry on its own. Only 60mm wide and projecting36mm, so it is a slim line on the ceiling rather than thebulky boxes battens used to be, and at 0.23kg it fixes to almostanything.

ClassII double insulated, no earth required,which simplifies the install though it is still hard-wired, with a600mm tail, and a licensed electrician installs it. Body ispolycarbonate in a satin finish. Not dimmable; the switch changescolour, not level.

The smaller of two

The Anka also comes at 1,200mm. Both share the same60mm width, the same colours and the same CRI above 90, so a garage with along run and a laundry with a short one will match exactly.

Where it works

• Garages, laundries, workshops and sheds and CRI above 90 makes them usable.
• Pantries and walk-in robes at 2700K it does not look institutional.
• Under-shelf and over-bench, where 36mm of projection fits.
• Not dimmable the switch changes colour only.
• Indoor and dry locations only IP20.

Questions

Why does CRI matter on a batten?

Because battens go where you actually need to see things. Most sit at 80 or below and are specified on price and lumens alone. Above 90 means you can match colours in a laundry and see what you are working on in a workshop.

Can I use it somewhere other than a garage?

Yes, and that is the point of the colour range. Most battens are fixed at 4000K or 6500K, which is why they look institutional. At 2700K the Anka sits in a hallway, a pantry or a walk-in robe without announcing itself as workshop lighting.

Is there a cool white setting?

No 2700K, 3000K or 4000K only. Our datasheet gives the middle one as 3200K where the record and page say 3000; we publish 3000, and it is a difference you would struggle to see.

Is it bright enough for a garage?

For a single-car garage, a laundry or a large pantry, yes 1,600lm from 18W.

How far does it hang below the ceiling?

36mm, and it is only 60mm wide a slim line rather than the bulky box battens used to be.

Is it dimmable?

No. The switch changes colour temperature, not level.

Is there a longer one?

Yes 1,200mm, sharing the same 60mm width, colours and CRI above 90, so long and short runs match exactly.
