The Edge is a 1,200mm LED batten drawing 40W for4,000lm, with three switchable colour temperatures and an opaline diffuser.

Two corrections to what this page used to say. It isIP20, not IP44 no water protection, indoor and dry locations only, so it is notsuitable for a carport, a laundry sink wall or an exposed patio. And it isnot dimmable, as the product name says: adding a dimmer will not work and may damagethe driver.

Three colour temperatures, chosen at install

A switch on the fitting selects 3000K warm, 4500K neutral or 6500Kdaylight. That means one product covers a garage, a laundry and a study without ordering threevariants and it means you can change your mind after seeing it lit, which is the part peopleunderestimate.

4,000lm from a 1.2m line

That is a genuine work-light output, comparable to a twin fluorescent tube but from a sealed fittingwith no starter, no flicker and nothing to replace. CRI is above 82, which is betterthan most battens colours under it look normal rather than washed out, which matters in alaundry or a workshop.

It needs an earth

This is a ClassI fitting: it is hard-wired and requires an earthconnection. It is an electrician’s install, not a plug-in.

Where it works

• Garages and workshops, at daylight setting.
• Laundries and pantries dry areas only.
• Storerooms, hallways and stair wells.
• Replacing a failing fluorescent batten of similar length.
