High-Performance LED Strips & Modules for Linear Lighting
LED Strips & Modules for High-Performance Linear Lighting
Linear lighting fixtures create lines of light, a popular trend in interior lighting design, that offer the ability to create personalized installations that can be placed on walls or ceilings in the form of recessed, surface, or suspended lighting fixtures. These lines can be used to create various shapes, from simple squares to more complex geometric designs.
These lighting fixtures are typically constructed using an LED strip that is housed inside an aluminium profile with a translucent white cover. They can be many meters in length, making it possible to create patterns and shapes that are tailored to the specific needs of a space.
We manufacture in Germany LED Strips & Modules with the latest LED technology that will empower you to build high performance, long-lasting linear light fixtures.

Linear Lighting Design Guidelines
Compared to indirect cove lighting, which is also popular in lighting design, lines of light provide direct lighting. This can be more energy-efficient, but it can also create increased glare. For this reason, it’s important to design lines of light with care and make sure they are dimmable.
Let’s explore some tips for achieving the best results with lines of light.
1. LED strip light output and number of LEDs
The illumination provided by lines of light can serve various purposes, from guiding people through a space to highlighting architectural elements or triggering a particular design trend. At the same time, lines of light can provide ambient, general, or workplace lighting.
The purpose of lighting determines the luminous flux of the LED strip. Here are some guidelines for luminous flux per meter or foot:
A) Ambient light or highlight of objects or furniture elements: up to 1200 lumens per meter (350 lm per foot)
B) General lighting for residential: up to 2500 lumens per meter or 750 lm/foot
C) General lighting for commercial and business applications or workplace lighting: up to 5000 lumens per meter (1500 lm/foot).
For example, for a living room that is 20 square meters with a height of 2.5 meters and the purpose of general lighting, here are some suggested lengths of lines of light based on their luminous flux:
- Lines of light with 500 lm/meter: at least 20 meters total length
- Lines of light with 1000 lm/m: at least 10 meters total length
- Lines of light with 2500 lm/m: at least 4 meters in total length
2. Use LED strips that are easy to install and have low redundancy of parts
The light sources should be easily installed over long distances and use as few auxiliary items as possible, such as wires, connectors, screws, or transformers. A large capacity transformer is recommended, and we discourage purchasing “LED strip kits” with 5 m length and an included transformer for rooms using more than 10 meters of strip.
3. Place lines of light so glare is reduced
With many lines of light in a space, glare can become a serious issue affecting well-being or productivity. To avoid this, place lines of light at the extremities of a space, so the light will uniformly wash down on a wall.
4. Use LED modules or strips with the best light quality, spectrum and colour rendering index.
For general and workplace lighting, select lines of light that closely match daylight in light spectrum and colour temperature. The best results for lighting similar are from LED strips with almost day-like spectrum and maximum scores for all the CRI test colors. Full spectrum technology, includes CRI 99+ Nichia Optisolis LEDs and CRI98+ Seoul Semiconductor SunLike LEDs.
5. Install high-quality LED modules or strips.
Install LED modules or strips with the longest lifetime, lowest color shift, and best lumen maintenance. Select long-lasting LED light sources with minimal color shift over time, especially for installations with considerable lengths. If the brightness of the light source fades too soon, or the color temperature changes, the only solution for uniform lighting may be to replace the entire installation.
In addition to the above tips, there are several other considerations to keep in mind when using lines of light in interior lighting design. For example, it is essential to consider the purpose of the lighting and the mood you wish to create in the room. If you want to create a warm and cosy ambiance, you can use warmer colour temperature LED strips, while cooler colour temperatures are suitable for a more modern and minimalist design.
Lines of light are a versatile and exciting trend in interior lighting design that can provide a range of benefits, from energy efficiency to a personalized and unique installation. By following the tips outlined above and considering the purpose and placement of the lighting, you can create a beautiful and functional lighting scheme that enhances the overall ambiance of the space!
