30cm LED Battens

30 cm LED battens: the short, linkable T5 format

The 30cm LED batten is the smallest size in the family and it exists for one very specific reason: it goes where a 60 cm one will not. At FactorLED you will find it in T5 format, with 4 W of power and the option of chaining units together, which makes it the go-to small LED batten for wardrobes, display cases, shelving and under-cabinet use. It is a single, tightly defined reference: a linkable 30cm T5 LED batten.

What the T5 format means in a 30 cm batten

The T5 format describes a narrow, shallow profile, inherited from the old fluorescent tube of that gauge. In a 30cm T5 LED batten that geometry is exactly what adds value: the body goes unnoticed inside a unit, it does not steal usable height from a shelf and it can be fixed against the wall or the top of the recess without sticking out. It is a profile made to be installed in plain sight and not draw attention.

Why 4 W is the wattage that fits 30 cm

The wattage of a linear batten is tied to its length, because the LEDs are spread along the profile. Over a 30 cm run, 4 W is the figure that suits this format: support light for a short stretch —a ledge, a deep drawer, the front of a display case— without over-lighting a small space. If you need more light, the answer is not to force the wattage: it is to add modules.

Linkable: adding up 30 cm at a time

This is the second virtue of the size. Being linkable, several units chain together to cover a long stretch, advancing 30 centimetres at a time instead of installing a single continuous piece. That changes how you plan the installation:

• You can match the lit length to the actual space, with no profile left over or missing.
• You can light a unit with several modules and keep a single supply point.
• You can extend it later by adding one more unit, rather than replacing the whole set.

The linkable 30cm LED batten works, in practice, as a modular piece: you decide the length as you install.

Where the 30 cm LED batten fits

This size solves the narrow places that rule out the longer formats:

• Under-cabinet LED batten in kitchens, to put direct light on the worktop in short stretches between units.
• Wardrobe LED batten and dressing rooms, above the rail or inside a run of drawers.
• Display cases and stands, where the narrow profile is hidden by the frame.
• Shelving and bookcases, lighting shelf by shelf.
• Stairwells, lofts and storage rooms with little depth.

How to get the 30 cm size right

Measure the space available and decide how many modules you need: if the stretch is around 30 cm, one unit is enough; if it is over 60 cm, consider chaining and spreading the light, because it will come out more even than from a single point. Check too where you are going to bring the supply out and leave that end accessible: that is what will let you extend the chain without redoing the installation.

If you want support light in a space where nothing bigger will fit, the 30 cm T5 LED batten is the piece you need. Add it to your FactorLED order and add modules whenever you want to cover more.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the 30 cm LED batten and what wattage does it have?

It is 30 cm long and has 4 W of power, in a narrow-profile T5 format. It is the shortest size in the FactorLED range of LED battens.

Can several 30 cm battens be joined together?

Yes. It is a linkable model: units chain together to cover longer stretches, adding 30 cm per module. Check the product datasheet for the exact wiring.

Where is a 30 cm LED batten used?

In tight spaces where a 60 cm batten will not go: under kitchen units, inside a wardrobe, display cases, shelving and stairwells. The T5 profile means it can be mounted without being visible.
