The Genaro W115 is a 1,150mm LED batten ceiling light in white 18W giving 2,200lm, withswitchable 3000K / 4000K / 5700K.

Our datasheet says 3,960 lumens. It gives 2,200. At18W, 3,960lm would be 220lm/W, whichno LED fitting achieves the best complete fittings reach about 130.2,200lm is 122lm/W, which is high but attainable for a batten holdingCRI at 80. If you were comparing battens on output, compare again at 2,200.

2,200 lumens from 18 watts genuinely efficient

For scale, the Anka batten in this range gives 1,600lm from thesame 18W but at CRI above 90. The Genaro givesnearly 40% more light at CRI above 80. That is the trade, and it isa real choice rather than one product being better:

• Genaro more light per watt. For garages, laundries, storeroomsand hallways, where quantity is what you want.
• Anka better colour. For workshops and laundries where you matchcolours or work on things you need to see properly.

5700K at the top cooler than most

3000K warm, 4000K natural, 5700K daylight. That top setting iscolder than the usual 5000K and closer to true daylight. In agarage or a workshop that is exactly right cool light looks brighter for thesame lumens and sharpens contrast. In a hallway or a kitchen it will readinstitutional, so use 3000K there.

1,150mm long, 160mm wide, 63mm deep

A substantial batten considerably wider than the 60mm Anka, becausethis one carries two LED sections rather than one strip. At2.49kg in a steel (SPCC) body with a polycarbonate diffuser,it is built as a working fitting rather than a slim decorative one.

It is ClassI earth required, unlike the Ankabatten, which is ClassII and needs no earth. Worth telling your electrician, because it changeswhat the circuit needs. Not dimmable; the switch changes colour, not level.IP20 indoor and dry locations only, so not a carport or an open shed.

Where it works

• Garages, laundries, storerooms and workshops at 5700K.
• Hallways and utility rooms at 3000K.
• Anywhere you want maximum light per watt from one fitting.
• Indoor and dry only IP20, not a carport or open shed.
• Class I it needs an earth, unlike the Anka.

Questions

Your datasheet says 3,960 lumens which is right?

2,200. At 18W, 3,960lm would be 220lm/W, which no LED fitting achieves the best complete fittings reach about 130. 2,200lm is 122lm/W, high but attainable for a batten holding CRI at 80.

Genaro or Anka?

The Genaro gives nearly 40% more light from the same 18W, at CRI above 80. The Anka gives 1,600lm at CRI above 90. Genaro for garages, laundries and hallways where quantity is what you want; Anka for workshops and anywhere you match colours.

How cold is 5700K?

Colder than the usual 5000K and close to true daylight. Right for a garage or workshop cool light looks brighter for the same lumens and sharpens contrast. In a hallway or kitchen it will read institutional, so use 3000K there.

Can I put it in a carport?

No IP20 is indoor and dry locations only. A carport or an open shed needs a weather-rated fitting.

Does it need an earth?

Yes it is Class I, unlike the Anka batten which is Class II and needs none. Worth telling your electrician, because it changes what the circuit needs.

Is it dimmable?

No. The switch changes colour temperature, not level.

Why is it wider than other battens?

Because it carries two LED sections rather than one strip 160mm wide against the Ankas 60mm, in a steel body. It is built as a working fitting rather than a slim decorative one.
