LED Architectural Linear Light

STARLAKE LED architectural linear lights combine clean architectural form with commercial illumination for offices, schools, hospitals, supermarkets, and suitable lower- or medium-height utility applications.

The series provides 24W–70W selectable power, 5,200–9,100 lumens, selectable 3500K/4000K/5000K CCT, 95° distribution, 0–10V dimming, and 120–277V or 120–347V input options. Ceiling and suspended installation support different interior layouts.

For lighting brands, distributors, contractors, and project buyers, selectable wattage and CCT also allow one platform to address multiple project requirements.

Commercial Linear Lighting That Works With the Architecture

Architectural linear lighting creates a defined line of light that can follow ceiling geometry, circulation paths, work areas, aisles, and other architectural directions.

This allows the luminaire to serve two functions:

Architectural Organization + Functional Illumination

STARLAKE’s architectural linear series is designed for commercial interiors where broad distribution, controllable output, installation flexibility, and clean linear form need to operate together.

Selectable Wattage and CCT Reduce SKU Complexity

Required output changes with mounting height, room dimensions, target illuminance, fixture spacing, and visual tasks.

STARLAKE provides three selectable-power configurations:

For distributors and multi-site projects, this creates a practical sourcing relationship:

Selectable Wattage + Selectable CCT → More Project Coverage → Fewer Dedicated SKUs → Lower Inventory Complexity

Contractors also retain adjustment flexibility when verified site conditions differ from preliminary specifications.

Selectable settings do not replace lighting design. Final output should still follow mounting height, target illuminance, spacing, room geometry, and photometric performance.

95° Distribution for Broad Commercial Coverage

STARLAKE architectural linear lights use a 95° distribution for broad commercial illumination.

Installed coverage depends on:

95° Distribution + Mounting Height + Fixture Spacing → Coverage & Uniformity

Increasing spacing can reduce fixture quantity but may increase differences between brighter and darker areas. Increasing output may raise average illuminance without correcting poor uniformity caused by an unsuitable layout.

Fixture quantity and spacing should therefore be verified with fixture-specific photometric data or an IES-based calculation where project lighting criteria are defined.

Optical Control for a More Continuous Line of Light

A linear luminaire contains multiple LED emitters, but the installed fixture should appear and perform as a coordinated light source rather than a row of isolated bright points.

The result depends on the interaction between:

LED Spacing + Diffuser + Fixture Geometry + Optical Distribution

Diffusion can improve visual continuity and reduce visible emitter contrast, but stronger diffusion can also introduce optical losses.

Linear-luminaire design therefore balances visual uniformity, optical efficiency, source brightness, distribution, and thermal performance rather than maximizing one parameter independently.

This becomes particularly relevant when suspended or ceiling-mounted luminaires remain directly visible throughout the interior.

Select 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K

STARLAKE architectural linear lights provide three selectable color temperatures.

Final selection should consider interior finishes, daylight, visual tasks, adjacent luminaires, and the intended environment.

For distributors, 3CCT selectability can also reduce the number of fixed-CCT variants required in inventory.

0–10V Dimming for Commercial Lighting Controls

The series supports 0–10V dimming.

With compatible controls, this can support strategies such as scheduled output changes, occupancy-based operation, or daylight-responsive control.

Compatibility should be evaluated across the complete system:

Luminaire → Driver → Sensor / Controller → Building Control Strategy

Emergency requirements and other control functions should also be coordinated before final specification rather than assumed from 0–10V capability alone.

Ceiling or Suspended Installation

STARLAKE architectural linear lights support ceiling installation and suspension-rod mounting.

Ceiling mounting keeps the luminaire close to the architectural plane and can suit interiors where available ceiling height or design intent favors a compact installation.

Suspended mounting makes the line of light a more visible architectural element and can suit offices, classrooms, supermarkets, and open commercial interiors.

Suspension height is also a photometric variable:

Suspension Height → Distance to Work Plane → Coverage + Illuminance + Uniformity

Mounting position should therefore be coordinated with fixture spacing and output rather than selected for appearance alone.

Where Do Architectural Linear Lights Fit?

The current STARLAKE series is intended for commercial environments where functional illumination and linear architectural form need to coexist.

Fixture type should still follow the application.

Architectural linear lighting can suit lower- or medium-height utility spaces, but high-ceiling warehouses requiring greater intensity, industrial durability, or specialized distributions may be better served by dedicated high-bay lighting.

Architectural form should not override photometric or environmental suitability.

Architectural Linear Light vs. Panel Light vs. Linear High Bay

These fixture families can appear in commercial buildings but solve different lighting problems.

Choose an architectural linear light when the luminaire should reinforce ceiling geometry, circulation, or architectural rhythm while providing general illumination.

Choose a panel light where a broad luminous surface and conventional ceiling integration are more important.

Choose a linear high bay where mounting height, output, industrial environment, and warehouse geometry become the dominant engineering variables.

How to Specify the Right Architectural Linear Light

A practical specification sequence is:

1. Define the Application

Identify the space and visual tasks.

2. Establish Required Illuminance

Determine the lighting requirement at the relevant work, circulation, or target plane.

3. Confirm Mounting Conditions

Record mounting height and determine whether ceiling or suspended installation fits the project.

4. Select Output

Match the appropriate selectable lumen package and wattage setting to room geometry, mounting, spacing, and the 95° distribution.

5. Choose CCT and Voltage

Select 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K and confirm 120–277V or 120–347V requirements.

6. Coordinate Controls

Confirm 0–10V dimming and other compatible control requirements.

7. Verify the Product Configuration

Confirm mounting accessories, electrical requirements, certification, and required project documentation.

8. Validate the Layout

Where lighting criteria are defined, use fixture-specific photometric data or an IES-based calculation before finalizing quantity and spacing.

Electrical and Certification Options

Available electrical configurations include AC 120–277V and AC 120–347V, supporting common North American commercial electrical systems.

Voltage should be verified against the building supply, particularly for renovations, multi-building projects, and regional distribution programs.

The supplied product specification lists UL and DLC 6.0 Premium for this architectural linear series.

UL safety certification and DLC qualification serve different purposes. Potential utility-incentive eligibility can also depend on the exact product listing, jurisdiction, program rules, and project conditions.

Certification and listing status should therefore be confirmed for the exact model being specified or purchased.

OEM Architectural Linear Lighting for Brands and Distributors

STARLAKE provides OEM and ODM support for lighting brands, distributors, importers, and professional buyers developing commercial linear-lighting programs.

Depending on project requirements, customization can involve electrical configuration, drivers, optics, wattage and lumen packages, structure, controls, private labeling, and packaging.

Customization follows an engineering process:

Customization → Engineering Review → Performance / Compliance Impact → Sample Approval → Mass Production

Changes to drivers, optics, housing, controls, or electrical configurations can affect photometric performance, thermal behavior, certification scope, tooling, MOQ, or lead time.

Reviewing these interactions before sample approval helps reduce sourcing and product-development changes later in the program.

Engineering, Quality Control, and Supply Support

Commercial linear-lighting programs require repeatable performance across production orders as well as the initial sample.

Engineering Support

STARLAKE has 50+ engineers supporting optical, electrical, thermal, mechanical, driver, and lighting-control development for standard products and OEM/ODM programs.

Quality Control

More than 30 QC professionals support manufacturing quality control. Bulk production orders undergo an 8-hour aging test, while newly developed products undergo 30 days of continuous high-temperature testing during validation.

These procedures support early-stage electrical, component, thermal, and assembly screening rather than serving as a direct simulation or guarantee of full service life.

Manufacturing and North American Supply

Founded in 2010, STARLAKE operates approximately 280,000 sq.ft of production space, with manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen and Cambodia.

Warehouse support in Ohio and California provides additional inventory and delivery options for selected North American requirements.

What Information Do We Need for a Quote?

For product selection and quotation, provide:

• Application or facility type

• Required quantity

• Room dimensions

• Mounting height

• Ceiling or suspended mounting preference

• Target illuminance, if available

• Preferred output or wattage

• CCT preference

• Input voltage

• Dimming and control requirements

• Certification requirements

• Drawings or lighting plans, if available
