What is a Linear Light?

Linear lights are a type of flexible decorative light. The outer shell of the light is made of aluminum alloy, which is beautiful and sturdy. It is named because it looks like a line when it is lit. This is a type of light that can be seamlessly installed on the wall or cabinet. Various forms meet the decorative needs of different scenes. For example, in the living room, there are several lines along the top of the ceiling. The ceiling and the main light do not need to be decorated at all. The unique geometric shape can also greatly enhance the three-dimensional sense and grade of the living room.

 There are three most common installation methods for linear lights: pendant installation, surface installation or embedded installation. a. Pendant installation uses hanging wires to hang from the ceiling, which is most suitable for rooms with spacious ceiling heights. This is also an ideal way to create accent lighting, mostly used in spacious spaces, above dining tables or above reception desks, etc.

b.Surface installation, no need for slotting Surface-mounted linear lights are installed on the ceiling or wall surface, and are mostly suitable for situations where the ceiling height causes the chandelier to be too low.
