The Blade 36 is a 1.2-metre LED batten 36W producing3,600lm, three colour temperatures, on a 120 beam inwhite.

100 lumens per watt the brightest batten in the range

3,600lm from 36W is a genuinely strong figure, and it makes the Bladethe one to choose when output is what you need: a garage, a workshop, a laundry, alarge pantry.

There is a trade against the Anka batten. The Anka draws thesame 36W and gives 3,200lm at CRI above 90; the Bladegives 3,600lm at CRI above 80. So the Blade is12% brighter and the Anka is noticeably more accurate. Choose theBlade for a workshop and the Anka for a kitchen bench where you are looking at food andtimber.

A 120 beam genuinely wide

Most battens are narrower. At 120 the Blade spreads lightto the walls as well as the floor, which in a garage or a storeroom means fewer darkcorners and fewer fittings to cover the space.

Slim, and very light

1,200mm long, 75mm wide, projecting only 27mm, at0.65kg. It sits almost flat against the ceiling useful in a garage with adoor track, or anywhere headroom is tight.

Three colour temperatures

3000, 4000 or 5000K, selected on the fitting. For the rooms a batten actuallygoes in, 4000K is usually right clean without the blue edge of5000K.

It does not dim

Stated plainly: no dimming. Choose the colour temperature to set the characterinstead.

ClassI earth required. Note the difference fromthe Anka batten, which is double insulated. This one needs the earth terminated, so mention it to yourelectrician.

Where it works

• Garages and workshops where output wins.
• Laundries, pantries and storerooms.
• Low ceilings and door tracks it projects only 27mm.
• For a kitchen bench, consider the higher-CRI Anka.
