Linear suspension fixture

Linear suspension fixture

Linear suspension fixtures offer a contemporary alternative to multiple pendants, providing uninterrupted illumination across the entire island. These fixtures work particularly well over rectangular islands and create a sleek, minimalist statement. Many feature integrated LED sources with dimming capability.

Medium Premium
Approach Detail

Select a linear fixture 2/3 to 3/4 the island length. Center it over the island at 30-36 inches above counter height. Ensure the fixture provides adequate lumen output for task work (aim for 300-400 lux at counter level). Many linear fixtures use direct/indirect distribution, adding ambient light to the ceiling.
