LEDUS LED Tube Bundle Batten Light Fitting 150cm 5ft 2x24W (4000-4500K Natural White) [Two T8 G13 Tubes + casing IP65] Wet Room Ceiling Lighting for Kitchen or Bathroom [Energy Class A]

Wanted a replacement for my 30 year lamp that had given up the ghost in my garage. Prices can be a lot especially the tubes.Anyway came across this on Amazon. Just what I was looking for a 4 foot Twin Tube IP65 with cover supplied with the tubes and a decent warranty on both the casing and the tubes. I wasn't bothered about if they were LED or not but these are which is a bonus I suppose.Overall the fitting was a little fiddly but not too bad, but the instructions were not that good.The brackets have to be fitted first and the casing then snapped on. They are quite lightweight but then the whole lamp doesn't weigh very much so they should do the job.BUT what does concern me is the recess they snap into is quite shallow and should be much deeper to make it more secure. It doesn't take much to pull the casing out of the brackets and I wouldn't be confident in it without a modification.I suggest anyone fitting this lamp makes a modification to make sure the casing doesn't get dislodged if the lamp happens to be knocked. If it did theirs nothing but the cable stopping it crashing to the floor and I doubt the warranty would cover this sort of damage, though it should because the brackets attachment to the casing is a serious design flaw in my opinion. I know it shouldn't get knocked but it can happen if fitted in a garage or workshop.It has a cover to protect the tubes from damage so that's good. The light is pretty good and seems every bit as good as the 6 foot twin old style tubes it replaced.It remains to be seen how well the tubes and the casing last and if they outlive the warranty. I don't expect it to last as long as the other but the other cost more than this all those years ago.

o.k, i haven't yet fitted this light so can't comment on how bright it is, what i do know is, if this was a double light as appose a single with a spare bulb, when it is fitted it would be what i thought i was ordering!! one of the selling points of this product is the life of the led bulb, thousands and thousands of hours, why a spare bulb,? i suppose i could leave it to my grandchildren in my will. The instructions are rubbish, but you can get by that, the build is good, and each part looks like it is well made. just thought the listing was a bit mis leading hence the 4 stars.*** UPDATE*** I have now fitted the light in my garage and it was pretty straight forward given the poor instruction, flicked the switch and I was very impressed, very bright but not dazzling if you look at it, a four foot version is plenty to light your work bench. A great light and i've got a heirloom to pass down to boot!!

I thought I'd take the time to write a genuine review of these as I was so impressed with them. Long story short, they are great! I bought 3 of them, two for the garage to replace old flourescents and one for the loft. The build quality is excellent, they work, are bright enough to be comparable to the old ones removed and (in the garage) I went from 3 fittings using 510W (85W tubes x 6) to just 2 using 48W for comparable brightness. In hindsight, I would fit like for like, ie, to replace a 2-tube 170W fitting get 1 of these, so I might add a 3rd one in there. As for the loft, it was a 2 tube 4 foot and the single Ledus easily matched that for brightness. The tubes are warm white that I bought, 3000K. Easy to wire up (live/neutral), easy to fit to the ceiling and did I say well made...can't fault them.

The base is dark grey plastic, nowhere near as pale as the picture (disappointing). The instructions are abysmal. The clip to pull the diffuser onto the base are a struggle to fit. The cable entry is a gland on the end with no central hole (I had to drill on out). The screw fitting plates to mount the beast are flimsy and a little difficult to mate with the fitting. The white metal sheet internal base has too many holes in it really and is rather too flimsy. There are clever holding strings to enable you to wire it virtually in position. There are two 25 W tubes with the double fitting. The efficacy is around 100 lm/W. The colour is probably a little cooler than warm white but fine. It looks a little too industrial for a kitchen but if the base were white it would soften this. It needs a blanking plug for the cable entry hole.

Instructions on insertion of the LED batons were missing and the writing on the baton ends is not very clear. It is very important that you put the correct end in the live end of the back fitting but this is not made clear enough.Three times I 'blew' the trips before I found the cause, bear in mind you are working in poor light the baton ends need a more defined instruction.That aside the light is great, easy to install, robust and neat giving a good even natural light.

Arrived quickly and well packaged. fitting is easy enough, you have to 'assemble' the unit: insert cable gland, attach cover clips x10 etc. The body of the unit is affixed to whichever surface by means of a flimsy stainless steel clip which is pron to distortion when screwed in. this results in a rather loose attachment. The unit will be able to slide left or right even when attached. One of my clips even required to be bent inward to allow attachment. I suppose if you're not fused about water ingress then you could just attach directly with some screws.

The item arrived in good time, well packed and with the correct amount of led bulbs. Upon opening i was confronted with a bag of bits and everything apart. The instructions are useless and you really need to work it out for yourself. Once you have worked our all the components and where they go and click together it starts looking like a finished product. Installation was quite easy as it comes with some clips that you can screw to the ceiling/wall first and then click the light on. When i turned on the unit i was impressed with the light and how much it lit up my garage. i will buy again. (i knocked off 1 start for the unit arriving in bits)
