The Edge is a 600mm LED batten 20W giving2,200lm behind an opaline diffuser, in a powder-coated aluminium body. Battensare utility fittings, and the useful question is whether the light is even and the body will last.

An opaline diffuser, not a bare tube

The diffuser is opaline polycarbonate, so the light comes out as a continuous band rather than avisible strip of LEDs. In a laundry or garage that is the difference between a fitting that looksfinished and one that looks like a work light.

Three colour temperatures and note the range

This one switches across 3000K, 4500K and 6500K, which is a widerspread than most 3CCT fittings in this range (usually 3000/4000/5000). 6500K isgenuinely cold daylight excellent in a workshop or garage where you want maximumclarity, and unpleasant in a living space. Choose deliberately; it is set at installation and notreachable afterwards.

Wide beam, so it covers rather than points

A 120 spread over 600mm lights a broad area evenly. Two or three in a rowdown a garage or a long laundry gives continuous light with no dark bands between.

Where it works

• Garages and workshops, at 6500K for maximum clarity.
• Laundries and utility rooms, at 4500K.
• Under-shelf and cupboard lighting in a pantry.
• Storerooms and sheds needing even, maintenance-free light.
