What is linear LED lighting?
Linear LED lighting provides Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination through symmetrical and asymmetrical linear fixture shapes.
Is LED linear suspension lighting the same as LED linear pendant lighting?
Yes. They describe the same category of lighting fixtures.
Can linear pendants direct light up as well as down?
Yes. Our linear suspension lighting products allow for configuring uplighting as well as downlighting.
What is uplighting?
An uplight is a light fixture that directs light up toward the ceiling. Uplighting can also be used to highlight ceiling details, such as beams, pipes and other distinctive ceiling infrastructure.
What is indirect lighting?
Indirect lighting is light reflected from another surface.
Are indirect lights uplights?
No. The linear product design may aim LEDs at a reflector inside the fixture to minimize glare of the downlight. There will be no uplight from this fixture on the ceiling. This type of fixture is known as an indirect downlight.
Which applications use uplighting?
Uplighting suits the office space or classroom because uplighting minimizes glare, making an easier, more conducive working environment.
