Hello,
I’m boarding out my loft for storage and I’d like some decent lighting up there rather than loft lights I’m currently using.
I purchased some LED batten lights that my cousin, who is a qualified electrician, said he will come and wire in. He’s good at what he does, he’s sadly just lazy and requires asking a hundred times.
I have the lights and I’d like to use them so I don’t have to work with loft lights. The lights I have are found here: 3FT 4FT 6FT LED Strip Lights Batten Tube Light Shop Garage Ceiling Lamp Dimmable | eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225393018096?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Glsa5u8aTF2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=3PCSz30jSr2&var=524379120192&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
They come with a 3-pin T5 connector on the end. My loft is quite large and I have four 120mm battens at 54w and a single 900mm batten at 43w connected together.
My question is, can these be plugged into a mains socket like a desk lamp? And if so, how do I do it? I’m fairly confident with light electrical work so I’m able to wire this to a plug if that’s all it requires. If not, what do I need so I can use these lights from a socket?
Thank you for reading.
