Definition and Core Architecture

Linear lighting refers to elongated luminaires with a length-to-width ratio exceeding 5:1, typically utilizing LED modules as primary light sources. The system comprises three critical components:

• Light Emitting Modules: High-density COB (Chip-on-Board) LEDs with a luminous efficacy of 120-150 lm/W
• Optical Structures: Precision-engineered reflectors or PMMA diffusers ensuring uniform light distribution (UGR<19)
• Thermal Management: Aluminum alloy heat sinks maintaining junction temperature below 85°C for prolonged lifespan

Technical Advantages

• Energy Efficiency: 80% lower power consumption compared to fluorescent linear fixtures (12W/m vs. 60W/m)
• Color Consistency: Δu’v'<0.003 within MacAdam 3-step ellipse, achieved through binning processes
• Durability: IP65-rated waterproofing and IK08 impact resistance for harsh environments

Classification by Application

Emerging Technologies

• Smart Linear Systems: Integration with DALI-2 protocols and IoT platforms (e.g., Zigbee 3.0) for adaptive lighting control
• Human-Centric Lighting: Tunable white technology (2200K-6500K) mimicking circadian rhythms

Installation Considerations

• Electrical Requirements: 24V DC or 277V AC input with Class 2 wiring
• Mounting Methods: Recessed, surface-mounted, or suspended configurations
• Maintenance: Modular design allowing individual LED module replacement
