An LED linear light is a slim, modern lighting fixture built from an LED strip light, an LED aluminum profile, a diffuser, end caps and clips, plus a driver, controller or dimmer. Its simple, clean look makes it a favorite for designers — and it is widely used in offices, shops, kitchens, hotels and modern homes. This guide answers the most common questions about LED linear light fixtures, from types and applications to dimming, sensors and customization.

1. What Is an LED Linear Light?
An LED linear light is a simplicity-designed and fashion lighting fixture. It is made of an LED strip light, an LED aluminum profile, an LED diffuser, end caps, clips, suspending wires, driver, controller, dimmer and so on.
2. How Many Kinds of LED Linear Luminaires Are There?
LED linear light fixtures have different kinds for different applications. Normally, they include the following kinds:
3. Where Are LED Linear Light Systems Used?
LED linear light free design and simplicity appearance is deeply loved by designers. It is widely used for commercial lighting, office lighting, saloon lighting, kitchen lighting and more. We are happy that you can use our LED linear light for amazing lighting linear light projects.
Let’s see how we use the LED linear light system around us.
4. Can LED Linear Lights Be Dimmed?
Yes. Lightstec provides dimming LED power supplies. We have 0-10V dimmable LED drivers, Triac dimmable drivers and Dali dimmable LED drivers. It is convenient for you to design a dimmable LED linear light.
5. Can LED Linear Lights Work With LED Sensors?
Yes. Lightstec offers different kinds of LED sensor switches — touch-sensitive switches, motion sensor switches, hand wave sensor switches and radar switches. Many kinds of sensors make it convenient to design different applications with LED linear light.
6. Where Can I Buy LED Linear Light Fixtures?
Lightstec is a professional LED linear light material supplier in China. We have all kinds of LED linear light materials — LED strip light, LED aluminum profile, LED power supply, dimmable controller and LED sensor. We can offer you raw materials and final products, and we accept custom-made orders. Contact us for a quote.
7. Can I Make Any Length of LED Linear Light?
When we use a constant-voltage LED lentes gaisma as the lighting source, you can make any length of LED linear light you want — it is free for design. But you need a cutting machine to cut the size you want. Here is a post on how to cut the LED linear light profile (cut LED aluminum profile).
8. Can You Offer Dotless LED Linear Light?
We have many kinds of LED aluminum profiles with LED strip lights that can make dotless LED linear light. Two important things need attention. First, the LED density needs to be higher in one meter, such as SMD3528-120LED/M, SMD2835-120LED/M, SMD2835-192LED/M and SMD2835-240LED/M. Second, the depth of the LED aluminum profile needs to be matched.
9. What Color Temperature Can I Get for LED Linear Light?
The CCT of the LED linear light depends on the LED strip light you choose. You can use different color-temperature LED strip lights as the lighting source, so you can make any color temperature of the linear light you want. Here is a post on how many color temperatures we can make for LED strip lights (LED color temperature guide).
10. How Many Profile Colors Can You Offer?
Normally we offer an oxide silver finish. For bigger sizes of the aluminum profile, we can offer white and black color housing. For the small size, we currently only offer silver. Normally all of our material in stock is silver color housing.
11. How Many Types of Diffusers Can I Choose?
Normally our diffuser is milky. Some of the LED covers we can offer with transparency. Normally we stock milky diffuser. When ordering, you can ask our sales first.
12. How Long Can the Aluminum Profile Be?
Normally we offer 1-meter or 2-meter length aluminum profiles. We can also offer 3 meters. When ordering, you can ask our sales first.
13. How Long Is the Delivery Time?
Some of the material we have in stock. Normally our production time is 1–2 weeks according to the production schedule.
