Employee productivity is often affected by the office lighting, good office lighting not only can make the office more beautiful, but also relieve employee eye fatigue, reduce the error rate. In fact, the office lighting is not the brighter the better, it is more important that the lights should be healthy and comfortable, bright and not blinding, gentle and not hot, and there is a way to solve the brightness, aesthetics, comfort and other issues, and easy to operate, that is – linear lighting!

1. What are the benefits of using linear lighting?

a. Simple and fashionable appearance, can be randomly concave modeling, high plasticity, at the same time, through the matching of other lamps and lanterns, conducive to the creation of office space high style.

b. Customize the length freely according to the actual installation requirements, seamless splicing, convenient installation, and great flexibility.

c. Not only can provide basic lighting, but also through linear elements, outline the indoor architectural contour, partition the office space, enrich the spatial atmosphere, and create a different visual effect.

2. What are the points of attention for linear lamps for office lighting?

a. Provide basic lighting with high luminous flux and the width of the luminaire must not be too narrow.

It is well known that linear luminaires should first have relatively high luminous flux if they are to provide sufficient illumination, but if the size is too small it will lead to too high surface brightness, which is likely to cause serious glare, so the luminous surface area of the luminaire should be slightly enlarged.

 b. Lamps are easy to put together and assemble to meet styling needs.

 c. Avoiding light leakage from lamps.

Linear lamp mask is often PC material, whether it is thermal expansion and contraction, or the processing of small errors, are prone to light leakage phenomenon, you can baffle to solve the problem of light leakage.

d. Top and bottom lighting, indirect lighting and accent lighting to match.

Linear lamps are not only available for downward and upward indirect lighting, but also with aluminum profiles that can be fitted with light source panels at the top and bottom, and can be fitted with different face covers.

For example, the upward side of the fixture can be a frosted face cover, and the downward side can be fitted with a smooth face cover so that the illumination downward is sufficient and the light upward is lax, providing indirect lighting for the space above.

This provides a very comfortable light for the tabletop, and looking up the color temperature above is so high and even a little bluish that it can give the illusion that it’s a blue sky.

Many loft office ceilings tend to be painted black, but actually painting them white or light gray will have an unexpected effect, and then using suspended linear lighting to provide some light upwards as well will have a stunning effect.

If the entire ceiling in the space are smeared white plaster roof, you can use the top and bottom out of the linear lights, indirect lighting plus direct lighting, the ceiling is illuminated, and immediately visually enhance the height of the space, to eliminate the sense of oppression.

e. The same size linear light can be used on the ceiling and wall, but the luminous flux ceiling to wall ratio can be 3:1.

If you use linear lighting in the ceiling, the wall, then the size can be consistent, such as the wall using 60mm, the ceiling can also use 60mm.

But the luminous flux of the lamps on the ceiling to choose some high, can ensure that the space is sufficient lighting, the wall can be appropriate to reduce the wall by about half, but can not be too big a difference.

Because the lights on the wall with our line of sight level, too bright will be blinding, the lights on the ceiling to provide desktop lighting, do not have to look directly at it, so you can be appropriately brighter.

3. Linear light from the wall turned to the ceiling, the part of the ceiling to provide desktop lighting, so it must be bright enough, while the part of the wall only need to provide a light, so the wall with 10W, the ceiling can be used on the 20W or even 30W.

Our human eye for 1 to 3 brightness ratio will not feel very strong, barely distinguishable, if the difference is 4 times, 5 times or even 10 times, it can be distinguished at a glance.
Installation of different linear lighting fixtures.

Although different linear lighting fixtures (suspended, surface mounted, recessed, etc.) can be installed in different ways, broadly speaking, they can be categorized in the following ways:

1. Embedded (with and without bezel)

Recessed is divided into two kinds of with bezel and without bezel, among them, the one with bezel is divided into whole light model with flap and infinite connection model, and the installation methods of these two models are different.

Mounting with bezel

a. Whole lamp embedded model

b. Infinite connection embedded model  

Bezel-less mounting

Surface mounting

a. Single Lamp Ceiling Mount

b. Continuous Ceiling Mount

Suspension type

a. Single light suspension installation

b. Continuous suspension installation

2. Connection method

How are two linear lights connected to each other? There are two methods of connection: internal and external.

How to ensure that there is no light leakage in the center of the connected linear lights? 

Connecting the strips of light to ensure that there is no leakage of light in the middle, you can use a flexible mask, a roll of up to 50 meters long, laying this roll will ensure that the entire luminous surface is no gaps.

Installation also has a special tool with assistance – rollers.

Linear lights are not only widely used in office space, in commercial space, home space is also promising, linear lighting products in the above areas have excellent performance.
