How much do you know about LED linear lights

If you're looking to upgrade your lighting to more modern fixtures, LED linear lighting may be the right choice. Widely used in commercial applications for years, LED linear lighting is increasingly becoming a standard feature in residential interiors across the country. With more product options available than ever before, now's the perfect time to make the switch.

What is LED linear lighting?

LED linear lighting is a type of ceiling lighting that combines a large number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) within a narrow housing, creating a smooth, flowing light pattern. Using LEDs not only offers a long lifespan but is also very energy-efficient.

It's a simple, practical option for illuminating living spaces and surfaces, especially those with narrow spaces. It's versatile and can be used for task lighting, accent lighting, and ambient lighting—often used around dining tables and kitchen islands, where style and functionality are crucial.

1. Suspended linear lighting

Suspended linear lighting is one of New Zealand's most popular lighting trends, perhaps the most popular of the three. As described, it consists of a linear lighting fixture suspended from the ceiling by a cable, chain, or rod.

One advantage of suspended linear lighting is that it's often height-adjustable, meaning you can customize it to suit the needs of the space or the effect you want to achieve. Raising or lowering the fixture also changes the light intensity, significantly enhancing the room's ambiance.

Some linear lighting fixtures also allow you to choose between direct and indirect focus (essentially, downward and upward lighting), allowing you to create either task or ambient lighting sources.

2. Surface-mounted Linear Lighting

Surface-mounted linear lighting refers to fixtures installed directly on the ceiling. For rooms with low ceilings that aren't suitable for pendant lighting, surface-mounted linear lighting offers the same even light distribution.

Similarly, their stylish design makes them versatile, suitable for task, accent, and ambient lighting needs. They're generally less eye-catching than pendant lights, making them more appealing to those pursuing a modern, minimalist interior design style.

You'll also find a wide variety of designs and styles available, making them suitable for both retail and residential spaces.

3. Recessed Linear Lighting

Recessed linear lighting is installed within a recess or groove in the ceiling, allowing its surface to blend in with the ceiling surface for a flush effect. They take up virtually no visual space and can make a room feel larger than it actually is, making them an ideal choice for small spaces.

Recessed lighting is popular in commercial interiors for its sleek, streamlined appearance. It also perfectly highlights architectural features and precious decorative items, allowing them to shine without distraction.

They are also highly customizable and can be configured and installed in a variety of lengths and shapes, making them a top choice for lighting designers everywhere.
