Barline 1500mm low-voltage wall light in black or white

The longest fitting in the Barline range 1500mm drawing 23W on 24V, in black or white. At this size it is usually specified as part of a designed scheme rather than bought as a single light: lobbies, long corridors, stair walls, hospitality interiors and feature walls where a continuous line is the intent.

The 180 distribution washes the mounting surface along the fitting’s whole length. Over a metre and a half that produces a substantial, even band of light, which is why the fitting shows up in commercial and multi-residential work as often as in houses.

24V DC plan it as low-voltage infrastructure

Both part numbers run on 24V DC. They cannot connect to 240V mains and require a 24V DC driver that is not supplied. The fitting is Class 3, so no earth is required at the fitting itself.

On a project scale, treat the drivers as part of the design: where they sit, how they are accessed for service, what the total connected load is, and what cable size keeps voltage drop within tolerance across the run. Those decisions are cheap on paper and expensive after the linings are on.

Light and colour

Tri-colour, with 3000K, 4000K or 5500K selected on each fitting at installation. Colour rendering is above 80 CRI. The fitting is not dimmable, so any variation through the day has to come from switching rather than from level.

Across a scheme, colour temperature consistency is the thing to control. Because the setting is made per fitting, a single unit set differently is visible immediately in a line of otherwise matched fittings build a check into the commissioning rather than trusting it was done right on the day.

Construction, siting and installation

Aluminium body with a Perspex diffuser, rated IP65 for dust and jetted water and IK08 for impact, so the same fitting can run from an interior corridor out onto a covered exterior walkway without a change of specification.

Set out the full 1500mm before the cable outlet is positioned, and mount level over this length the eye reads any tilt against every horizontal in the space. Havit states that aluminium and 304 stainless fittings must not be installed within 5km of a salt water environment. The LED is integral, with rated lamp expectancy of >30,000 hrs. Installation is work for a licensed electrician.

Frequently asked questions

What are its dimensions and load?

1500mm long, drawing 23W on 24V DC.

Can it be used on a commercial project?

Yes it is commonly specified for corridors, lobbies and stair walls. Plan driver placement and cable sizing at design stage.

Does it dim?

No. Variation has to come from switching.

Can it run indoors and outdoors in the same scheme?

Yes. Its IP65 and IK08 ratings cover both.

Does it need an earth?

No. It is Class 3 low voltage.
