Talking about the past, present future of linear lighting

Today, linear lighting has entered ordinary people's homes, classrooms to warehouses, almost everywhere. So why are linear lamps so popular is the future of linear lamps? Next, let's look at the past, present, future of linear lighting.

  How did people illuminate long spaces before linear lighting emerged?

It is particularly difficult to illuminate long spaces without linear fixtures. Prior to this, people used large industrial incandescent bulbs for home to industrial environments, such as warehouses factories, even retail stores. Later, a series of lumen packages color temperatures appeared, but the basic technology remained the same.

How does linear lighting come about?

The transition to linear lighting began in the 1950s, mainly in industrial environments. The manufacturing environment first used linear fluorescent tubes, like T12 T16. In the 1970s, this technology began to be used in homes.

Traditional linear lighting has been around for a long time, but there are also some production issues. For example, a linear light tube illuminates a larger surface area, which is always what we want; lamps have more requirements for sockets on both ends.

This shift occurred in the 1970s. As demand for linear lighting increases in small workshops garages, as well as in home interiors retail stores, this requires lower costs more decorative options.

Beginning in the late 1970s, puff linear lamps became quite popular. Almost every size home apartment has a puff linear light fixture, especially in the kitchen. Many manufacturers offer a wood trim product similar to a photo frame.

If you walk into a deli in New York a hardware store in Chicago, you may see old-fashioned line lights. In the early days, these lamps were small cheap. Their function is only lighting, decorative, people have considered the quality of lighting. Even modern companies may use linear lights to reduce prices because they are the most economical solution.

  What are the characteristics benefits of modern linear lighting?

In fact, most of the original linear lights have been downgraded to garages, laundry rooms other practical spaces. For example, in retail, everyone is looking for more beautiful lamps better lighting. The office uses a mix of direct indirect lighting for more even distribution.

Color temperature has an important effect on psychology, this cannot be ignored. For example, one cheap store might use 4K lighting to encourage customers to quickly buy products pay, while another store might use 3K lighting to provide a more enjoyable experience.

The linear lighting market is still huge today (such as high low voltage flexible light strips). The difference now is that linear architectural lighting LED technology have expanded the scope of linear lamps. With the improvement of appearance performance, this industry will continue to develop. Old traditional enclosures are being abandoned, new materials are used, more advanced technology is used, linear lighting is also more compact efficient.

  is the future of linear lighting?

Aesthetics is fixed at this point, but in terms of performance, there is still a great improvement. Modern technology only makes it more efficient, it also makes installation fine-tuning easier. In the past, customers had to use relevant control systems for each product. But now, the products have built-in controls, meaning they are pre-programmed for a certain area at the time of installation. In the future, control will be the next "spoiler."
