Use fewer filters or clear all
Linear LED lighting is a slim fixture instead of a round spot. Suspended, surface, and recessed profiles are available. Runs can be joined into one continuous line.
Best for: offices, kitchens, and corridors. Pick the mount first, then the length.
Three Ways to Mount One
|
Mount |
How It Hangs |
Where It Works |
|
Suspended |
Hangs from the ceiling on cables or rods |
High ceilings, open offices, over tables |
|
Surface |
Sits on the ceiling or wall |
Low ceilings, garages, concrete |
|
Recessed |
Sits flush inside the ceiling |
Clean, modern ceilings in new builds or remodels |
Getting the Length Right
-
Over a desk or table, pick a line a bit shorter than the table
-
In a corridor, run the light down the center of the ceiling
-
Measure the space, then subtract room for end caps and wiring
-
Lengths vary, so check the listing for exact size
Joining Runs Into One Line
-
Continuous runs use connectors between sections
-
Plan where each power feed will go
-
Keep the joints in line, so no gaps show
-
Order a spare connector or two
Why Not Just Use Downlights?
-
A line of light fills a long space without dotted pools
-
Fewer fixtures mean fewer holes in the ceiling
-
Light reads smoother across desks and counters
-
Down lights still win for small spots and accents
Keeping Glare Down
-
A frosted diffuser hides the bright dots
-
Aim the light so it doesn’t bounce off screens and glossy counters
-
Pick a lower brightness if people sit right under the line
Power and Wiring Basics
-
Check the voltage on the label
-
Some fixtures are hardwired, others plug in
-
Dimming needs a compatible driver
-
Ask an electrician to run the feed
Spaces That Suit Them
-
Offices: over desks and meeting tables, see commercial lighting
-
Kitchens: under cabinets or in a line over the counter, plus kitchen island pendant lights
-
Corridors: one line down the middle
-
Retail: along shelves and displays
-
Garages and shops: a surface line over the bench, see industrial lighting
Linear Fixtures or Strip Lights?
-
Linear fixtures are complete units with their own housing
-
LED strips with a channel give you a custom line
-
Pick a fixture for speed, a strip for custom shapes
Install Day Notes
-
Find joists before you hang a suspended light
-
Level the first fixture, then match the rest
-
Leave cable slack for height adjustments
