LED Suspension Fixtures

LED Suspension Lighting

Enhance the lighting in your modern spaces with these architectural LED suspension fixtures, offering both direct and indirect lighting capabilities. These stylish, modern fixtures are ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, providing elegant lighting that provided both direct (down) and indirect (light). Use them to establish a bold, modern ambiance in various settings, including office or retail spaces, classrooms, hotels, and restaurants.

What is Indirect Lighting?

Indirect lighting occurs when light is reflected off a surface such as a wall or ceiling, or through the use of built-in polycarbonate reflectors found in these high-quality fixtures. By producing sufficient indirect light, these architectural light fixtures effectively minimize eye strain and fatigue, creating a more comfortable environment. Additionally, they help mitigate the cave effect that often arises when light is directed downward without adequately reflecting light upward toward the ceiling.

Types of Suspension Lighting

We offer various types of suspension lighting, including:

• LED Linear Suspension Lighting
• UP/Down Linear Suspension Lighting
• NOVA LED Pendant Lights
• Architectural Linear Fixtures

Linear suspension lighting is a versatile and modern lighting option that can add a sleek and sophisticated look to any space. Available in a variety of lengths and lens options, these lights resemble strip light fixtures. Many are selectable, allowing you to effortlessly adjust the color temperature and lumen output to best suit your environment. Some also allow you to adjust the percentage of direct and indirect light.

UP/Down linear suspension lighting is wider and flatter than linear suspension lights. These suspension lights offer selectable color temperatures, however the up and down light have preset distributions that cannot be adjusted.

Suitable for installation to both grid and drywall ceiling, NOVA LED pendant suspension lighting resemble 2x2 LED panels in appearance. The lens is almost completely transparent when the pendant light fixture is off. Once turned on, the fixture appears as though it is floating in mid-air. The combination of direct and indirect light ensures even illumination and enhances the "floating" effect. These pendant and linear suspension lights are ideal for creating a unique contemporary look in a wide range of commercial and residential spaces.

Architectural linear fixtures have the same transparent lens as the NOVA fixtures, however their appearance looks more like a "blade of light" when lit. These fixtures can be installed as suspension lights, or surface mounted to walls and ceilings with a compatible kit (sold separately).

Benefits of Suspension Lighting

One notable advantage of suspension lights is their ability to be suspended at different heights, enabling the creation of diverse lighting effects. This functionality proves especially valuable in large spaces where varying lighting levels are required across different areas. Furthermore, these light fixtures can be crafted from a range of materials, such as metal and plastic, ensuring seamless integration with various decor styles.

LED linear suspension lights epitomize energy efficiency and longevity, delivering long-lasting performance while markedly reducing energy consumption. Employ them as task lighting to illuminate specific areas, as accent lighting to highlight architectural features, or as general lighting to evenly illuminate a room or other interior space.
