NLS | Diffused LED Batten 40W 1200mm Platinum Series | Tri-Colour White IP20
The NLS 20400 is a 1200mm 40W tri-colour LED batten rated IP20 for dry indoor use, finished with a diffused lens that distributes even, low-glare illumination. A built-in 3CCT switch lets the installer select a 3000K, 4000K, or 6000K colour temperature, so the 20400 suits both task and ambient applications. Operating on 220-240V AC, the batten delivers a rated 4400 lumen output at a measured efficiency of 120 lumens per watt. Installation must be completed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 60598.
Ageing fluorescent battens strike slowly, discolour over time, and eventually fail at either the tube or the starter. In garages, sheds, and workshops, that leaves dim, uneven light and recurring maintenance callbacks. The NLS 20400 replaces a complete fluorescent batten with a single sealed LED unit that reaches full brightness the instant the circuit is energised. Its diffused lens distributes even, low-glare illumination, while the 4400 lumen output covers a 1200mm fitting line without noticeable dark patches.
For shed, garage, and commercial fit-outs, the 20400 fits off fast. The housing lands flat on a ceiling or wall through a central cable entry and an integrated terminal block, leaving no separate driver to mount. Because the 3CCT switch sets warm, neutral, or cool white on site, one part number satisfies every colour requirement and reduces the range an electrician carries on the van. Priced low for a 4400 lumen fitting, the 20400 also supports solid margin across bulk lighting runs that specify eight or more battens.
Features
- 40W tri-colour batten — the 20400 draws 40W and delivers a rated 4400 lumens across a 1200mm fitting line.
- 3CCT switch (3000K/4000K/6000K) — set warm, neutral, or cool white at install using the on-board colour temperature switch.
- Diffused PC cover — the diffused polycarbonate lens spreads even light and cuts glare over work areas and walkways.
- 120 lumens per watt — the 4400 lumen output runs at a measured efficiency of 120lm/W for low running cost.
- 220-degree beam spread — the wide beam lights a room corner to corner without obvious hotspots.
- Aluminium housing — the alloy body draws heat away from the SMD 2835 LEDs to support stable light output.
- Surface or suspended mount — fix the 20400 flat to a ceiling or wall, or hang it on chain or wire over high bays.
- Central cable entry, built-in terminal — the centre knockout and onboard terminal block give a quick fit-off with no separate driver.
- Non-dimmable — the 20400 runs standard ON/OFF switching and is not rated for a dimmer circuit.
- IP20 rated — suited to dry indoor areas only, not outdoor, damp, or washdown locations.
- RCM marked to AS/NZS 60598 — compliant with the Australian luminaire standard and carries the Regulatory Compliance Mark.
- 1-year replacement warranty — National Light Sources covers the batten against manufacturing defects in domestic and commercial use.
Where to use
- Garages and home workshops — the 20400 puts bright, even light over benches, vehicle bays, and tool areas in domestic garages.
- Sheds and farm buildings — multiple battens run down a shed line for a workshop or storage fit-out with consistent coverage.
- Laundries and utility rooms — the diffused output suits indoor service spaces that need clear, low-glare light.
- Offices and back-of-house — set the 20400 to 4000K neutral white for commercial rooms, store rooms, and corridors.
- Fluorescent batten replacement — swap an ageing T8 or T12 fluoro batten for a single LED unit on a retrofit.
- New builds and renovations — spec the 1200mm batten as standard general lighting in dry interior rooms.
- Hallways and walkways — the wide 220-degree beam covers passage areas from a single ceiling line.
Carrying only an IP20 rating, the NLS 20400 is built for dry indoor use only and offers no protection against moisture ingress. Do not install the batten in bathrooms, outdoor areas, or damp and washdown zones, and because the fitting is non-dimmable, never connect the 20400 to a dimmer circuit.
