High-Performance LED Strips & Modules for Linear Lighting
Linear lighting fixtures are a popular trend in interior design, known for creating sleek lines of light that can be customized to suit various spaces. These fixtures can be installed on walls or ceilings in recessed, surface, or suspended configurations, allowing for diverse shapes from simple squares to intricate geometric designs. Typically, these fixtures consist of LED strips housed in aluminum profiles with translucent white covers, enabling lengths of several meters for tailored lighting patterns.
We manufacture in Germany LED strips and modules that utilize the latest LED technology to help you build high-performance, durable linear light fixtures. By choosing custom LED modules from Lumistrips, you ensure your project benefits from the most advanced LED technology available, designed to meet your exact specifications for light intensity, size, shape, connections, installation, and power and control systems.

Guidelines for Linear Lighting Design
Unlike indirect cove lighting, linear lighting provides direct illumination, which can be more energy-efficient but also increases the risk of glare. Proper design and dimming capabilities are crucial for optimal results. Here are some essential tips:
LED Strip Light Output and Number of LEDs
Linear lighting can serve multiple purposes, such as guiding people through a space, highlighting architectural features, or setting a design trend. Depending on the application, here are some recommended luminous flux guidelines per meter or foot:
- Ambient lighting or object highlighting: Up to 1200 lumens per meter (350 lumens per foot).
- General residential lighting: Up to 2500 lumens per meter (750 lumens per foot).
- Commercial, business, or workplace lighting: Up to 5000 lumens per meter (1500 lumens per foot).
For example, for a 20-square-meter living room with a 2.5-meter ceiling height, the following lengths of lines of light are suggested based on luminous flux:
- 500 lm/meter: At least 20 meters total length.
- 1000 lm/meter: At least 10 meters total length.
- 2500 lm/meter: At least 4 meters total length.
Ease of Installation and Redundancy Reduction
Choose LED strips that are easy to install over long distances with minimal auxiliary items like wires, connectors, screws, or transformers. Opt for large capacity transformers and avoid purchasing kits with short lengths (e.g., 5 meters with included transformers) if your installation requires more than 10 meters of strip.
Glare Reduction Placement
To minimize glare, position lines of light at the room's extremities to ensure uniform wall washing and reduce direct exposure to the eyes.
Optimal Light Quality and Spectrum
For general and workplace lighting, select LED strips that closely mimic daylight in spectrum and color temperature. High-quality options include CRI 99+ Nichia Optisolis LEDs and CRI 98+ Seoul Semiconductor SunLike LEDs, which provide near-daylight spectrum and high color rendering index (CRI).
High-Quality, Durable LED Modules
Use LED modules with long lifetimes, minimal color shift, and excellent lumen maintenance. This ensures that the lighting remains consistent over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements due to brightness fade or color temperature changes.
Additional Considerations for Linear Lighting
When planning your linear lighting design, consider the desired ambiance and the lighting's purpose. For a warm and cozy atmosphere, opt for LED strips with warmer color temperatures. Cooler color temperatures are ideal for modern, minimalist designs. Linear lighting is versatile and can enhance both functionality and aesthetics in any space. By following these guidelines and tailoring your installation to the specific needs of the room, you can achieve a beautiful and efficient lighting scheme.
