For buyers, distributors & procurement teams out in the field, choosing a batten light is about getting the best possible return on investment – you know, uptime, even illumination and keeping overall costs down over the years, not just grabbing the cheapest option upfront. COMLED’s LED batten fixtures are specifically engineered for bulk buyers – so they combine SMD2835 LED chips which have been put through their paces to meet LM-80 standards, deliver high lumens per watt, are flexible to install (you can link ’em up, install them on surfaces, walls or hanging) and they even offer factory-direct customisation options.
This article is going to give you the lowdown on some of the technical features, the real-world benefits and just how flexible the customisation options are, so you can properly evaluate COMLED as a top LED Batten Light wholesale supplier for any big commercial or industrial lighting project that comes up.
What procurement teams really look for (and how COMLED checks all the boxes)
Procurement teams keep coming back to us and telling us that there are 3 things they just cannot compromise on: reliable lumen output year in, year out, robust protection from dust and water, and fast, reliable supply from a factory that can handle custom orders. COMLED’s batten fixtures tick all those boxes – no problem:
- Stable lumen performance: We use SMD2835 LED chips that meet the LM-80 standard and have chosen drivers that give you a great lumens per watt score (110–140 lm/W ) – so your clients get the light they need without breaking the bank on energy.
- Practical mounting and linking: Our fixtures are designed to be installed on walls, surfaces or even hung up, and you can link them up in long runs to reduce the hassle factor.
- Options that are built around your needs: We offer motion sensor dimming (100%–20%–OFF) in some models, emergency versions that come with a long-life battery pack (>3 hours) and multiple CCTs (3000K/4000K/5000K/6000K) so you can meet all the usual standards without having to do any costly retrofits.
All those capabilities are a big deal for procurement teams because they mean fewer maintenance visits, lower retrofit costs and faster approval cycles when your product specs match the client’s requirements.

Deep dive — performance and reliability that matter in bulk projects
Why SMD2835 matters for procurement
SMD2835 LED chips combine high luminous efficacy and thermal stability. COMLED uses SMD2835 (LM-80 approved), so procurement teams can have confidence in lumen maintenance numbers (L70 @ 54,000 h). The result: fewer lamp replacements and predictable energy savings.
Lumen efficacy and energy economics
With 110–140 lm/W , these battens deliver bright, even lighting with lower wattage than many legacy fluorescent or low-efficacy LED retrofit bars. For large facilities, every 1 W saved across thousands of fixtures adds up to big annual savings. Procurement can model ROI using fixture efficacy, expected operating hours and utility rates.
Thermal and mechanical robustness
Fixture housings and driver selection are matched to maintain lumen output over time. The L Series combines aluminum heat-management elements with high-transmittance diffusers. For installations where impact or moisture are concerns, COMLED offers IP/IK graded solutions in other series (L, K, P) that can be specified when higher protection is required.
Applications & typical project use cases (where battens outperform alternatives)
Warehouses and logistics hubs
Linear batten fixtures provide uniform aisle lighting with linkable runs that reduce ceiling clutter. High lm/W and CRI >80 makes stock signage easier to read and safer for pallet operations.
Supermarkets and retail fit-outs
Even, shadow-free lighting on shelving is key. COMLED battens in 4000K–5000K provide neutral to cool white light that enhances product visibility while cutting energy costs vs fluorescent solutions.
Workshops, maintenance bays and industrial plants
Durability and ease of cleaning matters. COMLED offers versions with openable caps or quick-release designs for easy driver access and maintenance in industrial environments.
Corridors, stairwells and parking peripherals
Linkable lengths and emergency pack options (>3 hrs LiFePO4) ensures safe egress lighting and simplified wiring in long circulation routes.
Customization & factory-direct advantages (what wholesale buyers value)
Tailored lumen packages and CCTs
As a manufacturer with factory control, COMLED can: adjust lumen output ranges within the envelope, request specific CCT mixes across project zones and standardize fixtures across multiple sites for maintenance simplicity.
Controls and emergency integration
Microwave sensor dimming (100%–20%–OFF) and integrated emergency LiFePO4 >3 hrs are configured at the factory. That reduces field wiring complexity and installation acceptance time.
Branding, packaging and labeling for distributors
For wholesale channels and distributors, COMLED offers custom label printing, private-label packaging and batch coding to simplify warehouse intake and traceability.
Pricing and supply chain — factory direct benefit
Buying factory direct means bulk pricing tiers, consolidated shipping and direct technical support. COMLED’s production and QA process ensures lot quality consistency so you get predictable performance without middle-margin markup.
Installation, maintenance and lifecycle considerations
Installation modes — for installers
COMLED batten fixtures support surface mount, wall mount, hanging installation, and linkable runs. Linkability reduces conduit runs and junction boxes when long continuous lighting is required.
Tip for installers: Plan linkable runs so drivers are evenly distributed and battery/emergency versions are located where required by code; COMLED’s technical team can provide wiring diagrams for mixed standard/emergency runs.
Maintenance strategy for procurement teams
Components are chosen for long life (LM-80 rated chips; drivers with PF >0.9) so maintenance can be scheduled. COMLED fixtures are service-friendly: many models have quick terminal blocks and tool-free caps to make driver swaps or battery replacements easy on-site.
Emergency battery lifecycle
Emergency versions use LiFePO4 battery packs rated for >3 hours runtime at specified test power. Batteries are 1 year warranty; COMLED can provide guidance on battery replacement intervals and testing procedures to keep egress lighting code-compliant.
Quality assurance, testing and compliance
Certificates and performance verification
COMLED fixtures come with standard compliance documentation (CE, RoHS, SAA, C-Tick) and factory QA records for lot testing. Internal testing focuses on luminous output, driver thermal performance and ingress protection where applicable.
Why PF >0.9 matters in commercial tenders
A power factor above 0.9 reduces apparent power draw on site infrastructure and helps projects stay within electrical load calculations. This is important when multiple linear fixtures are connected to a single circuit, minimising nuisance tripping and improving real measured energy use.
Comparative brief — batten fixtures vs. alternatives (what specifiers must consider)
- Batten vs. fluorescent tubes: Higher efficacy, less maintenance, instant start, no mercury disposal.
- Batten vs. LED troffers/panel lights: Battens are often more cost effective in warehouses and corridors and easier to link; troffers are chosen for recessed ceiling aesthetics.
- Batten vs. strip lights: Modern battens have better thermal management and integrated optics for cut-off control.
Use the comparison that aligns with project priorities: cost per delivered lux, maintenance overhead or aesthetics.
Procurement & ordering guide (how to spec and place a wholesale order)
Step 1 — define requirements
Capture the following: target lux levels per area, CCT preference (3000K/4000K/5000K/6000K), are linkable runs required, emergency runtime needed and do you want sensor dimming.
Step 2 — request factory data and sample
COMLED provides spec sheets and sample units for evaluation. For bulk procurement, sample testing in situ (lighting layout and emergency testing) helps finalise final ordering.
Step 3 — finalise options and packaging
Specify labelling, driver type (dimmable or standard), emergency battery inclusion and any custom packaging requirements for distribution channels.
Step 4 — place a factory direct wholesale order
COMLED offers tiered pricing based on volume and technical support throughout the project lifecycle from tender to after-sales service.
For all technical queries or to request project documentation and wiring diagrams, procurement teams should contact COMLED’s technical or after-sales team directly for certified advice.
Real operational considerations – no matter what
Wiring topology for the real world – linked runs
Linked battens are a timesaver on wiring but they need some careful thought behind them so as not to waste power across the longer links. COMLED’s people have come up with some recommended wiring diagrams and a guide on just how long those links can be for each model.
Emergency placement and getting cables out of the way
Emergency packs are a bit of a nuisance – heavy and in the way – so its good idea to position them where you can still get to them but also keep the heat down to a minimum. And of course, it’s got to be code compliant. COMLED’s emergency versions are actually designed with battery houses that are pretty easy to swap out when they need replacing.
Saving energy – the right way to go
Using microwave sensor dimming to go from 100% to 20% to off in storage areas and corridors is a good idea. But in retail spaces where the occupancy patterns are a bit more varied, it might be worth combining that with some daylight harvesting when there’s loads of daylight around.
What to expect in after-sales and tech support – what COMLED provides
COMLED’s focus is on the project lifecycle, with documentation, samples and post-delivery warranty and battery support for those emergency packs. And for those fixtures, a five year warranty provides some peace of mind on manufacturing quality.
If you need some testing documentation to get the tenders moving, COMLED’s technical team will knock up pack sheets and lot-test summaries on request to get things moving quickly.
