Lucretia Lighting’s architectural and commercial LED linear lighting collection delivers professional lighting solutions for offices, showrooms, retail spaces and public environments. The range includes straight and curved LED linear lights in recessed, surface-mounted and suspended configurations, supporting long continuous runs, custom radii and tailored profiles for clean, seamless light lines. With high-efficiency LEDs, multiple wattage options and colour temperatures, these linear lighting systems are ideal for general, task and feature lighting in modern commercial and architectural interiors.
FAQs
Architectural linear lighting uses long, continuous LED luminaires to create clean lines of light within ceilings, walls or suspended installations.
Unlike conventional individual downlights, LED linear lighting can provide continuous illumination across long distances and can also become part of the architectural design itself.
Linear lights are widely used in offices, retail stores, showrooms, hotels, education spaces, public areas and contemporary residential interiors for general, task and feature lighting.
The main difference is how the linear light is installed.
Recessed linear lighting is integrated into the ceiling or wall for a clean architectural appearance.
Surface mounted linear lighting is installed directly onto the ceiling or wall and is useful where recessed installation is not practical.
Suspended linear lighting hangs below the ceiling and is commonly used above workstations, meeting tables, reception areas, retail spaces and areas with higher ceilings.
The appropriate installation method depends on the ceiling construction, architecture, required light distribution and overall design intent.
Yes. Architectural linear lighting systems can be configured to create long continuous lines of light, depending on the selected system and project requirements.
Multiple sections can be connected to form longer runs, while specialised systems can minimise visible interruptions between sections.
Continuous linear lighting is particularly useful for commercial corridors, offices, retail stores, showrooms and large architectural spaces where a consistent line of illumination is required.
Lucretia also offers jointless and custom linear lighting solutions for projects requiring specific dimensions or continuous architectural light lines.
Yes. Curved LED linear lighting can be designed to follow circular, curved and free-form architectural layouts.
Depending on the system, curved linear lights can be recessed, trimless, surface mounted or suspended.
Custom curves are particularly useful for reception areas, atriums, shopping centres, offices, retail spaces, hospitality projects and public interiors, where standard straight lighting may not follow the architecture.
The radius, overall dimensions and installation method should be considered during the design stage so the lighting can be manufactured to suit the intended geometry.
Yes. Modular architectural linear lighting systems can be used to create much more than straight lines.
Depending on the product and project, linear lighting can be configured into squares, rectangles, circles, curves, continuous geometric patterns and custom free-form shapes.
This allows architects and interior designers to use light as an architectural element rather than simply as a source of illumination.
For complex custom layouts, Lucretia can work from floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, CAD drawings, dimensions or interior renders to develop an appropriate linear lighting configuration.
The correct linear light should be selected according to both the required illumination and the architecture.
Important considerations include:
- Required lux levels
- Lumen output and efficiency
- Wattage per metre
- CRI
- Colour temperature
- Glare control
- Direct or indirect illumination
- Profile dimensions
- Recessed, surface mounted or suspended installation
- Dimming and control requirements
For offices and other workplaces, visual comfort and glare control can be particularly important, while retail and showroom projects may place greater emphasis on colour rendering and presentation of merchandise.
A lighting calculation may be required for larger commercial projects rather than selecting luminaires based only on wattage.
UGR stands for Unified Glare Rating and is used to assess discomfort glare within an indoor lighting installation.
UGR <19 is commonly associated with lighting designed for offices and other environments where visual comfort is important.
However, UGR is not simply a characteristic of an individual luminaire. The final result is influenced by factors including the luminaire optics, room dimensions, mounting position, spacing and surrounding surfaces.
Architectural linear lights with anti-glare baffles, controlled optics or specialised diffusers can help reduce direct glare and improve visual comfort when correctly specified as part of the overall lighting design.
Direct linear lighting sends most of its light downwards towards the working plane, floor or surfaces below.
Direct/indirect linear lighting provides both downward illumination and upward illumination towards the ceiling.
The upward component can brighten the ceiling and create softer ambient illumination, while the downward component provides functional light.
Direct/indirect suspended linear lights are particularly suitable for offices, meeting rooms, education spaces and large commercial interiors where both functional illumination and visual comfort are important.
Yes. Architectural linear lighting is particularly suitable for customisation because the system can be designed around the dimensions and geometry of the project.
Depending on the selected system, Lucretia can provide custom options including:
- Overall length
- Continuous lighting runs
- Custom curves and radii
- Squares, rectangles and geometric configurations
- Profile dimensions
- Suspension height
- Recessed or trimless installation
- Finish and colour
- Colour temperature
- Light output
- Dimming and lighting controls
For larger projects, custom linear lighting can be developed directly from architectural drawings and reflected ceiling plans.
Lucretia offers commercial and architectural LED linear lighting in Australia for offices, retail stores, showrooms, hospitality venues and large architectural projects.
The range includes recessed linear lights, trimless linear lights, surface mounted linear lights, suspended linear lights, anti-glare linear lights, direct/indirect linear lighting, continuous linear lighting and curved LED linear lighting.
Custom lengths, continuous runs, curves, radii and architectural configurations are available across selected systems.
For commercial projects, Lucretia can also assist with lighting design, luminaire selection, lighting calculations, layouts, control requirements and custom linear lighting configurations based on architectural drawings, reflected ceiling plans or project specifications.
