Linear Pendant Lighting
Lighting Guide
Profile Sizes
All of our linear pendant lights are available in a range of profile sizes. The full range available depends on the mounting method. Our surface-mounted or suspended linear pendants are available in a total of 15 different profile sizes, ranging from 17mm to 120mm. We offer a range of four different profile sizes for recessed linear profiles. If you aren’t sure on the best size for your needs, we can help you make the right selection.
Surface Mounted / Suspended
Recessed
Lighting Directions
Where linear pendants are suspended, there is a choice of three ways in which light can be distributed. The most conventional of these is direct light, where the entire light output is aimed downwards at the area beneath the fitting. Another option is indirect, where light is directed upwards, towards the ceiling. This might be used for a general wash of light to create a certain ambience, supplemented by other lighting at a lower level. It can also highlight certain architectural features. Finally, there is a combination of direct and indirect light. This is where the area both above and below the fitting are illuminated.
Mounting Methods
There are several options for mounting linear pendants. Surface-mounting attaches the linear pendant directly to the ceiling. This is a simple solution with straightforward installation, used for standard-height ceilings. For a clean and sleek look, linear pendants can also be recessed flush with the ceiling. Finally, if ceilings are high, or the pendant is going to be used over furniture such as a table, bench or kitchen island, the linear pendant can be suspended.
Finish Colours
Our aluminium linear profiles are available in three colours, to suit most interiors: Black, White, or Anodised Silver.
Colour Rendering Index
Colour Rendering Index (CRI) refers to how a light source affects the way colour is seen by the human eye, and how colour variations and shade are interpreted. The index works on a scale from 1 to 100, and a high CRI level means that the lighting source will more accurately represent the true colours of the items illuminated. We recommend using high-CRI lights whether in a commercial or residential setting.
Products
In addition to the choice offered by our range of profile sizes, mounting methods and lighting directions, our linear pendants are available in two materials.
Aluminium
Linear Lighting Series - Aluminium
The sleek and architectural design of our linear pendants in aluminium make them a popular choice for commercial spaces such as offices, retail stores and colleges. They can blend seamlessly with a variety of interior schemes and architectural styles when surface-mounted and provide a focal point when suspended. In homes, they are a striking addition when suspended over a kitchen island or bench.
Natural Australian Timber
Linear Lighting Series - Timber
Our linear pendants in Australian timber offer a softer, more rustic alternative to aluminium. The hardwood timber is lightly varnished to show the grain of the natural material. They complement commercial interiors which use other natural materials, and would be an ideal choice for settings such as restaurants, cafes and bakeries. In the home, they make an eye-catching design feature suspended over a dining table or kitchen island.
