Batten, length of timber used to stiffen a surface of canvas or boards, as by ‘sandwich-battening’ a cloth (fixing the upper and lower edges between pairs of battens screwed together) or by ‘battening-out’ a section of boards or a run of
flats with crossbars. A light batten, known in America as a strip light or border light, is a horizontal trough containing a row of lights, often divided into compartments (and then known as a compartment batten), each containing a lamp, reflector, and coloured filter.
