Linear Suspension

Why We Love Linear Suspension

With its generally rectangular shape, linear suspension light fixtures are a great way to make a room look wider or longer and since the shape of the fixture lies along a single plane, it's easy to keep a room from becoming over-stimulated with ceiling lights. This style of linear chandeliers is especially great over long dining room tables, billiard (pool) tables, and over the kitchen island, complementing the shape of each area while providing ample downlighting. Commercial linear suspension lighting provides great light for a modern office setting, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, and more. And many designs featured LED, helping to make your space elegant and energy efficient.

Modern linear suspension fixtures lend themselves to the modern dining room and kitchen thanks to their horizontal length and bright downlighting. Over the dining table, a rectangular chandelier provides widespread light and are the ideal option to hang over a kitchen island when a single light source is preferred. In luxurious dining rooms, crystal linear suspensions are particularly prone to taking the stage as the premier focus, with a glitzy appearance creating beautiful prisms on neighboring walls and surfaces.

How to Choose the Best Linear Fixture

Linear suspensions are offered in a number of lengthy sizes. Before choosing one, measure the dining table, kitchen island, billiard table or any surface where the linear light will be installed. Also review common dimensions of the fixture including its height, width, weight and cable suspension length. With a specific shape and size in mind, then sort through the colors and finishes that will best match the space's color palette. 

In any space hanging linear pendant lighting, also consider a multi-light pendant. These cluster pendants offer similar length but separate into three or more individual lights all wired through a single-track system. Stringing together a cluster of mini pendant lights achieves a similar lighting effect but from multiple sources of light.
