Depending on the temperature chosen, it leans towards warm white for a corridor or towards neutral white for a workshop. The sensor does not change the light, it only decides when it comes on. Also check whether the colour temperature can be switched during assembly, a practical criterion for matching the batten light to the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLED batten light with motion sensor: the light that comes on as you enter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the gesture that changes everything: you push open a corridor door, your hands full, and the linear fixture lights up in front of you. The output is even, without the harsh halo of an isolated spotlight, which avoids creating shadow areas on the floor and walls. In circulation areas, a warm white (around 2700 to 3000 K as a general guide) stays restful at night and does not wake anyone. In a work passage, a neutral white (around 4000 K) renders colours more accurately and is less tiring to read by.

The presence sensor keeps the lighting on as long as someone is detected in the area, which avoids switching off at the wrong moment above a workbench or a worktop. The light stays soft and continuous, without flickering or restarting. The rest of the time, it switches off by itself, and the room does not stay lit for nothing. The choice between the two logics therefore comes down to actual use, not the technical sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ou-installer\"\u003eWhere should you install a LED batten light with motion sensor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most useful places are those where you pass with your hands full: corridor, staircase, garage entrance, under a kitchen cabinet, workshop worktop.

Switch off the breaker before opening a box, check that there is no voltage, and identify the conductors before dismantling anything. If the existing circuit has no neutral at the box, the installation requires an electrician's advice.

A heating vent or an appliance that heats up in its field can trigger it for no reason. A cat passing is also enough to light the room at night.

The batten light then comes on by itself, then switches off after an adjustable delay, once the room is empty. No switch to touch, and the supply remains mains or battery depending on the model.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you wire a motion sensor to a lamp?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The sensor is wired in series on the lamp circuit: the supply reaches the sensor, the output goes on to the luminaire, and the neutral is shared. The connection is made with the power off, in a suitable junction box. A batten light with an integrated sensor avoids this step entirely.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Batten light, spotlight or LED ceiling light with sensor: which should you choose?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A recessed spotlight lights a short area and requires a recess in the support. An LED ceiling light covers a whole room and suits living spaces. A batten light, on the other hand, is fixed lengthwise under a cabinet, on a corridor ceiling or on a garage wall, and detects movement along its linear run.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"LED batten light with presence sensor: does the light stay on?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, as long as presence is detected. A motion sensor switches the light off shortly after the last movement and you only need to move to switch it back on. A presence sensor, often finer, also detects a still person: it suits a desk or a fixed workstation.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the drawbacks of LED lamps?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"LED consumes little, but its light is sometimes more directional than a halogen source and its colour rendering varies with the temperature chosen.

You keep the useful part, re-power the section, and the strip is fixed with adhesive or in a profile. A LED batten light, on the other hand, cannot be cut: it is chosen directly at the useful length.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can you install a LED batten light with sensor in a bathroom or outdoors?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In a bathroom, the batten light must withstand humidity: aim for an IP44 rating or higher.
