SAL | Weatherproof LED Batten 42W Tri Colour | Grey
The SAL SL9726-40TC-DP is a weatherproof LED batten rated 42W/240V AC, designed for indoor and covered outdoor installations requiring durable, IP65-rated lighting. This compact linear fixture features selectable tri-colour operation (3000K, 4000K, 6000K), an integral dual-power driver supporting 20W or 42W modes, and an IP65 rating for splash and dust resistance. The SL9726-40TC-DP meets AS/NZS2293 emergency lighting standards and is shipped complete with stainless steel fittings and a 20mm cable gland entry for secure installation.
Outdoor covered spaces and weatherproof industrial installations frequently require lighting that withstands moisture, temperature swings, and UV exposure without sacrificing performance. The SL9726-40TC-DP addresses this need by pairing IP65 weatherproof construction with selectable colour temperature (warm, neutral, daylight) to suit different ambiences and tasks. Electricians specify this class of batten for patios, alfresco dining areas, verandahs, car ports, and factory or warehouse zones where traditional slimline battens would fail under exposure.
Licensed electricians value the SL9726-40TC-DP for its field-selectable wattage and CCT modes, which allow a single SKU to cover multiple job variations without holding separate inventory. The stainless steel fixings and polycarbonate diffuser resist corrosion and UV degradation far longer than standard aluminium or plastic, reducing call-backs on outdoor retrofits and new builds. The constant current non-dimmable driver is purpose-built for commercial outdoor duty and simplifies commissioning on circuit-breaker-protected circuits.
Features
- IP65 weatherproof rating — protection against water jets and dust ingress, suitable for covered outdoor, damp, and splash zones.
- Tri-colour selectable CCT — choice of 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral), or 6000K (daylight) allows single batten to match different applications and ambience requirements.
- Dual-power driver — choice of 20W or 42W output on the same non-dimmable constant current driver, reducing SKU complexity on multi-job sites.
- Stainless steel fixings and cable gland — 316 stainless clips and M20 gland entry provide long-term corrosion resistance in coastal, high-humidity, and industrial environments.
- Polycarbonate body and diffuser — UV-stabilised plastic construction prevents yellowing and UV embrittlement common in unshielded outdoor fixtures.
- 1251mm length — compact linear form factor fits standard ceiling cavities, suspended rails, and wall-mount applications without excessive overhang.
- AS/NZS2293 compliant — rated for emergency lighting duty under Australian fire safety standards, including battery backup option.
- Non-dimmable constant current driver — purpose-built for commercial outdoor use, no dimmer compatibility, simplifies circuit design on standard protection.
- 3000-6000lm output range — lumen output scales with CCT selection and wattage mode, delivering consistent illumination across colour temperature choices.
- Operating temperature -0 to +40°C — rated for standard Australian climates; not suitable for sub-zero or extreme heat environments beyond this range.
Where to use
- Alfresco and patio dining areas — the SL9726-40TC-DP provides durable, waterproof illumination for pergolas, shade sails, and roofed outdoor dining where standard battens fail in splash zones.
- Car ports and vehicle shelters — IP65 protection suits vehicle wash-down areas and covered bays where moisture and condensation are constant.
- Factory, warehouse, and industrial spaces — weatherproof construction handles dust, humidity, and temperature swings in uncontrolled or partially enclosed industrial facilities.
- Loading docks and covered transit areas — long-haul goods handling under roofed zones benefits from high-output, maintenance-free weatherproof lighting.
- Boat and marine shelters — stainless steel components resist salt-air corrosion on jetties, boatsheds, and covered slipways.
- Coastal and high-humidity regions — the SL9726-40TC-DP suits Queensland, Northern Territory, and tropical installations where standard aluminium fixtures corrode within months.
- Emergency lighting retrofits — AS/NZS2293 compliance and battery-ready driver support emergency evacuation lighting specs on renovations and new commercial builds.
- Laboratory and pharmaceutical wash-down zones — IP65 rating allows daily high-pressure washdown without light ingress or electrical risk.
The SAL SL9726-40TC-DP is not suitable for direct submersion, continuous water spray, or extreme temperature swings beyond 0–40°C. This batten is a covered-space or splash-zone fixture only, not for fully outdoor exposed locations or submerged pool applications. For permanently submerged or extreme-temperature duty, a higher IP-rated or specialist fixture is required.
