Product Information

Full details

The Sylvania Sylproof Toledo LED Waterproof Batten Housing is designed for individuals and professionals needing reliable, energy-efficient lighting in demanding environments like garages, workshops, and car parks. Its key benefit is the IP65 waterproof rating, offering protection against dust and moisture. A potential caveat is its low initial lumen output when used without a T8 LED tube, as it is an empty housing.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on
