Linear light is light that’s distributed in a linear shape, as opposed to square or round lighting. Longer-than-average optics distribute this light over a narrow area. Linear light is most often suspended from the ceiling, wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, or is used as recessed lighting in a wall or ceiling.
Should I Use Linear Light?
Linear light is often used in retail, warehouses, and office lighting. These are large, long spaces requiring low-cost, energy-efficient LED lighting. More and more though, we are seeing homeowners opt to have linear indoors and out.
In terms of whether you should use linear light or not, it depends on the function. There are a multitude of ways to suspend, mount, or recess lighting into a home design or in one’s outdoor landscaping. Linear light is very stylish, sleek, and exquisite to look at but it also always serves a purpose.
Look at your home. You may have areas of a room that are either overly dark or not stylish. An architecturally-attractive linear light setup can add so much to these spaces. Linear light is exceptional in its performance and very aesthetically pleasing. It doesn’t matter what ceiling, wall, or setting you have because linear LED lighting can be added almost anywhere.
Directionally, they do their job as lights. They’re also very eye-catching though, creating atmosphere where a run-of-the-mill basic light will not.
