Design guides.
Every design guide on linear-led.com, in one place.
Good linear LED lighting design starts with how a space should feel, then works back to fittings, layout and control. These guides cover the design decisions that make the biggest visual difference: where light lands, how ceilings and walls are lit, how lines and points of light relate to architecture, and how to balance drama with comfort. They are aimed at interior designers and architects who want a scheme that photographs well and works every day.
What these guides cover
- Layering ambient, task and accent light
- Composition, alignment and setting out with the architecture
- Colour temperature, contrast and visual comfort
