You’ve probably heard about LED linear modules and their growing use in commercial and industrial lighting. But which module is right for your project? Unlike standard rigid LED bars, which are often used for simple illumination, high-performance linear LED modules are designed for professional lighting applications and are typically installed within aluminum channels, extrusions, or other fixture profiles to ensure optimal thermal management, uniform light output, and long-term reliability, although standalone use is possible in some cases.
Also referred to as Linear-type LED Modules, LED PCB Board Linear LED Modules, or Linear Light Sources, these modules are widely applied in office lighting, retail displays, supermarket shelving, industrial workshops, and architectural linear lighting. Thanks to their modular and cuttable design, they can be trimmed or interconnected to fit a wide range of fixture lengths, providing flexible layouts while maintaining high performance.
Equipped with WAGO terminals and designed according to Zhaga standards, these modules offer easy integration, standardized installation, and reliable performance across diverse projects. For OEM lighting manufacturers, project engineers, and lighting designers, understanding the structure, performance, and connector standards of these modules is essential. This article will explore their design features, key advantages, and professional applications, helping you select the most suitable solution for your next commercial or industrial lighting project.

For manufacturers and system integrators, WAGO connectors provide a flexible and standardized solution for linear lighting installations.

Zhaga Standard
Zhaga is not a connector itself, but an international standard defining mechanical, electrical, and photometric interfaces for LED modules.
Compliance with Zhaga allows LED linear modules to be interchangeable across compatible fixtures and profiles, ensuring consistent integration and simplifying replacement or upgrades.
Integration Flexibility
LED linear modules with standardized connectors can be easily integrated into various fixture designs, aluminum profiles, or architectural channels.
They support multiple dimming methods, including DALI, 0-10V, and PWM, providing flexibility for office, retail, industrial, and architectural lighting applications.
Power Supply & Brightness Control
External Drivers
LED linear modules often utilize external constant-current or constant-voltage drivers to achieve higher brightness, better thermal management, and scalable installation options.
By separating the driver from the module, designers can optimize heat dissipation and extend module lifetime. External drivers also allow multiple modules to be connected in series or parallel, providing flexibility for fixture length and layout.

Linear Heat Sink Aluminum Profile
Electrical Compatibility
Most LED modules work with external constant current or constant voltage LED drivers.
When designing fixtures, always check voltage, current range, and dimming protocols (DALI, 0–10V, PWM, or DMX512) for compatibility.
Connector Handling
Modules are typically equipped with WAGO push terminals, snap-in connectors, or Zhaga-standard interfaces.
Avoid excessive pulling or bending during installation. Using standardized connectors improves interchangeability and simplifies future maintenance.
Mechanical Stability
Secure installation is key to long-term reliability. Modules should be mounted using screws, fixing clips, or thermally conductive adhesive tapes.
Incorrect mounting can cause warping or poor heat sink contact, leading to shortened lifespan.
Optical Considerations
For optimal light distribution, linear modules can be paired with diffusers, micro-prism lenses, or reflectors.
Low-glare optics are recommended for office and retail lighting to meet visual comfort standards (UGR <19).
بيئة التثبيت
Unless rated with anIP protection level, modules should be installed in dry, ventilated indoor environments.
For industrial or outdoor applications, consider humidity, dust, vibration, and ambient temperature.
Checklist for Installers
✓ Verify driver compatibility with module specs .
✓ Ensure adequate heat sinking with aluminum profiles.
✓ Use secure mounting methods (screws, clips, adhesive).
✓ Handle WAGO / Zhaga connectors with care.
✓ Confirm wiring polarity and dimming protocol (DALI, 0–10V, PWM, DMX512) .
✓ Check IP rating for industrial or outdoor use.
