Designing continuous runs, corners and curves in linear lighting

By , 299 Lighting · Published · 6 min read

In short

How to plan continuous linear LED runs, junctions, corners and curved sections for architectural and commercial interiors.

Designing continuous runs, corners and curves in linear lighting

The most memorable linear schemes are rarely a row of separate fittings. They are unbroken lines that turn corners, meet at junctions and follow curves, treating light as part of the architecture.

Continuous runs

Continuous systems join modules end to end with no dark gaps, so a single line can run the length of an office floor. Made-to-measure lengths let the line finish exactly at a wall, column or glazing mullion.

Corners, junctions and geometry

L-corners, T- and X-junctions let lines form grids, rectangles and custom geometric shapes that echo a ceiling plan or furniture layout.

Curves

Curved sections, as in the Lena range, soften a space and are often used over receptions, collaboration areas and in hospitality.

What to agree early

  • Setting-out dimensions from your reflected ceiling plan
  • Suspension points and ceiling structure
  • Driver locations and access
  • Controls zoning (DALI or Casambi) and emergency fittings within the run

Our in-house team turns these drawings into buildable systems. See bespoke linear lighting.

Frequently asked questions

Can linear LED lighting go around corners?

Yes. Continuous linear systems can include corners, T and X junctions, and curved sections to create custom shapes.

How long can a continuous linear run be?

Continuous systems can be joined to almost any length. Runs are made to measure to suit your drawings.
