Lighting strategy: How to design linear lights according to different application scenarios?

Designers all know that there is a very important part in home design that is often overlooked. It is the soul of the space and the most important work of art in home design. This part is lighting.

Recently, looking at the excellent design cases in recent years, I found that many of them are designs without main lights. The emergence of linear lights has also become an excellent combination for designers to create a sense of atmosphere, bringing a different sensory experience and visual experience from previous designs. artistic effect.

It gives the space more layers. In addition to its aesthetic effect, it can also increase the auxiliary lighting of the space and increase the brightness of the indoor environment. The small size that is easy to hide saves space and solves the problem of light pollution.

Today we will focus on linear lights and show you why linear lights are so popular among designers:

Ⅰ. "The functions and characteristics of led linear profile light"

Create a sense of atmosphere and enhance spatial hierarchy

Through the use of different shapes and regional positions, linear lights weaken their own sense of presence. They are arranged along the contours of the space and concave unique geometric or curved shapes together with the wall, fully rendering the exquisite and fashionable space atmosphere. Add layering.

Use as auxiliary lighting to increase indoor brightness

Linear lights are not only beautiful. The light strip is also a kind of light that can emit light and illuminate the space. It can also be used as auxiliary lighting in the space, cooperating with the main light source to complete the home lighting needs.

It is generally installed in a light trough as a hidden light source or other [visible light] lighting to make it visually brighter.

Break the closedness and broaden the horizons of space

Linear lights are clean and neat, have a strong sense of decoration, and can instantly attract attention. Connecting two spaces will have the effect of integrating the spaces.

Linear lights can break the closedness. The principle is to visually stretch the height of the space. In fact, with a little design, both effects of increasing the sense of depth and horizontal stretching can be achieved.

Ⅱ. "Application Methods of Linear Lights"

01. Ceiling Design Application When there is no main light, many people will feel that the home is not bright enough. One of the reasons is that linear lights illuminate the top surface and provide ambient lighting and top lighting through light reflection. Properly installed ceiling linear lights emit light with soft and beautiful edges.

02. The cabinet storage design can be used in bookcases, TV cabinets, mirror cabinets, wardrobes, wine cabinets, cabinets and other shelves. There are many corners where it is difficult for some lights to reach. Install flat light troughs inside to let the light from the strips shine. Illuminating the inside of the cabinet greatly improves convenience of use. The use of linear lights is not only beautiful, but also hides the radiance in the cabinet, making the small space very high-end. It can also solve the corner lighting problem very well.

03. Background wall design application The design of linear lights on the wall can be used as the background wall in the entrance, bedroom, and living room. It can create a unique and discreet atmosphere. When the linear lights are hidden in the wall and covered with PC boards, the light emission effect is soft and suitable for a variety of styles.

04. Floor platform design and application

In many bedroom designs, the bed is raised, a platform bed is designed, and a whole linear light is installed under the platform.

This is also very suitable for bathrooms and living rooms.

05. Baseboard design and application

Linear lamps have been continuously improved and enriched in the evolution of technology and shape. The light diffusely reflected by the LED strips through the floor enables both functionality and lighting.

Ⅲ. "Application effect of linear lights in home scenes"

01. Entrance & Corridor

The texture of the light trough affects the expression of light. The use of aluminum light troughs is not easy to oxidize. If the light trough has its own frosted feel, the light output will be softer and glare-free.

Use this kind of light trough with warm light strips at the entrance to allow the light from the ground to flow along the narrow entrance and guide the flow of movement into the house.

02. Living room

Linear lamps have a strong sense of modernity and technology, and are very suitable for use in simple style designs.

Using circular linear lights to replace traditional main lighting,we believe that it will be more in line with the concept of "throwing away useless decorations in a minimalist space". Simple lines echo the facade shape and reduce the visual weight of the ceiling.

The line design weakens the blazing white light and is gentler than the point light source of spotlights. The light feel is similar to natural light, making it very suitable for use in living rooms.

03. Bedroom

To create a pure resting space, the lighting must be soft and non-glaring.

The straight-line design of the linear lamp can give people a feeling of "sprinkling down" light. The gentle light is reflected in every corner of the room. It can be matched with other auxiliary lighting in suitable shades to satisfy the basic lighting while adding a touch of color to the room. gentle. The specific brightness and color of the linear lamp can be selected according to needs.

04. Kitchen

LED linear lights in the kitchen are mainly used under the wall cabinets, because the kitchen countertop lighting will leave shadows and affect the kitchen experience. Therefore, it is recommended to install linear light strips under the kitchen wall cabinets to evenly illuminate the entire countertop.

If there is no wall cabinet above the countertop, you should install spotlights on the ceiling to ensure that the countertop is adequately illuminated.

05. Bathroom

Install linear light strips above, below or around the bathroom mirror to provide even, soft and bright light, making the lighting more precise when applying makeup.

The linear light strip under the bathroom mirror can also be used as basin lighting. The countertop is bright enough and the use experience is even better!

06. Stairs

Stairs are the most suitable place for linear lighting, especially for families with elderly and children, and they should pay more attention to the stair lighting design.

Install the light strip directly on the stair handrail. As the stairs go up and down, turning and turning, the light will be even and bright, making it easier to see every step under your feet. Even going up and down the stairs at night will be more practical.

In addition, linear lighting strips are used to light up the space, which not only enriches the spatial context but also creates a visual sense of light and dark levels and contrast between virtual and solid.

Ⅳ. "Application effect of linear lights in commercial scenes"

01. Office space

Through the change of linear lighting, the space is given flexibility, and it can also give people a simple, clear and comfortable feeling.

As functional and highly customizable products, linear lamps will become designers’ first choice in office space design.

02. Commercial space

Led Commercial Linear lights are also widely used in commercial spaces, giving people a bright and rhythmic feel. The overall atmosphere can be easily created through lights. In space design, light is an essential decorative element.

03. Aisle space

Through clever changes in light and shadow and contrast between light and dark, the entire building is full of interest and vitality, bringing excellent visual effects.

Use lighting design to build a free, flexible, and imaginative space. It can also weaken its own presence through hidden forms, gradually arrange it along the corresponding space outline, and concave unique geometry with the wall. Or curved shape.
