What Is an LED Linear Light?
An LED linear light is a lighting fixture made from three core components: an LED-Lichtleiste source, an Aluminiumprofil housing, and an LED driver power supply. Similar in form to a traditional fluorescent tube, but far more energy-efficient and versatile, it has become one of the most popular lighting systems in modern architecture.
Key Specifications
- Lengths: Customizable — standard sizes include 4ft, 6ft, and 8ft for commercial fixtures
- Waterproof: Indoor and outdoor options available, including IP65 waterproof versions
- Profile colors: White, silver, and black anodized or powder-coated finishes
- Installation: Surface-mounted, recessed, or pendant — three primary mounting methods
- Vielfalt: Lightstec offers 100+ different linear light designs
Installationsmethoden
- Aufputzmontage — direct mount to walls or ceilings, no recess needed
- Einbau — flush fit into ceiling or wall for seamless architectural look
- Anhänger — suspended from ceiling for modern feature lighting
Profi-Tipp: For runs over 5 meters, use DC24V strips and inject power at both ends to prevent voltage drop. Always choose a driver rated 20% above the total strip wattage.
