Linear Lighting

Where linear pendants are suspended, there is a choice of three ways in which light can be distributed. The most conventional of these is direct light, where the entire light output is aimed downwards at the area beneath the fitting. Another option is indirect, where light is directed upwards, towards the ceiling. This might be used for a general wash of light to create a certain ambience, supplemented by other lighting at a lower level. It can also highlight certain architectural features. Finally, there is a combination of direct and indirect light. This is where the area both above and below the fitting are illuminated.
