These features and technologies have transformed LED linear lighting into a versatile, high-efficiency solution for a wide range of applications.
How to arrange LED linear lights for optimal office lighting?
To achieve the best lighting effects when arranging LED linear lights in an office, it is essential to consider several factors comprehensively, including light color, office ambiance, employee eye protection, and interior design style.
Office lighting should not be too bright or too dim but just right to ensure eye comfort. LED linear lighting enhances the sense of space in the office, and bright lighting helps reduce errors by providing clear visibility. If the glare value is low, even with sufficient lighting in the work area, it will not strain the eyes, preventing eye fatigue.
The following are professional recommendations for optimizing office lighting with LED linear lights:
gözle görülür Parameter Configuration
- Renk sıcaklığı: Office lighting color temperature can be set to 4000K-5000K neutral white light, as 4000K is close to the sunlight at 10 AM (3800K-4200K), providing a warm white light environment that balances focus and comfort; 5000K simulates midday sunlight (5500K-6000K), enhancing instant attention and detail recognition, suitable for high-intensity short-term work.
Additionally, the risk of visual fatigue in a 4000K environment is 80% lower than in a 5000K environment, making it suitable for prolonged document processing; 5000K is suitable for scenarios requiring high-precision color differentiation, such as drawing or laboratory work.
The blue light radiation intensity of 4000K is significantly lower than that of 5000K, reducing the risk of potential retinal damage. The International Commission on Illumination notes that the blue light peak of unoptimized 5000K lighting fixtures may approach dangerous thresholds. Overall, a 4000K color temperature is the optimal choice for office lighting.

- Renk İşleme İndeksi (CRI): To ensure accurate color reproduction in office environments, reduce visual fatigue, enhance document readability, and improve screen collaboration efficiency, while meeting international lighting standards for professional work environments, a CRI of RA ≥ 90 is recommended.
- Glare Value: An LED linear light glare value (UGR) <19 effectively suppresses the glare caused by direct light exposure to the eyes, preventing visual fatigue and distraction. This standard complies with the international lighting standard CIE 117-1995, ensuring uniform illuminance on the work surface, particularly suitable for prolonged computer-based office scenarios, and is one of the core indicators of a healthy lighting environment.
- Parlaklık: Maintain 300–500 lux on office work surfaces and ≥150 lux in corridors/hallways; keep the spacing between linear lights ≤1.5 meters to effectively eliminate shadows in dark areas.
Reference for selecting color temperature for different environments
Area | Tavsiye edilir Color TSICAKLIK | Scientific Basis |
Regular office area | 4000K | Balances focus and comfort, supports continuous work for 8 hours |
Design/laboratory | 5000K | Enhances color rendering accuracy (color rendering index Ra≥90 required) |
Conference room | 4000K | Avoids high color temperatures that distract attention and improves meeting efficiency |
Regionalized Lighting Plan
- Open Office Area: Combination of main lighting (70% brightness) and local lighting (30% brightness) to avoid imbalance caused by a single light source.
Main lighting is recommended to be paired with magnetic tracks and linear light arrays, with long cascading linear light strips evenly distributed at the top to ensure that light covers the entire area. This makes it easy to supplement or adjust the light source position later to meet flexible space requirements.
Light spacing ≤ 1.5 meters to prevent dark zones, with average illuminance maintained at 300–500 lux. Additionally, linear lights are added at individual workstations to supplement lighting, angled at 30° to avoid direct screen illumination. Precise local lighting reduces shadow interference, enhancing work efficiency. Direct light on screens is avoided to prevent glare from affecting visual comfort.

- Corridors and passageways: Install L-shaped linear lights along corridors or walls, 30 cm above the ground to prevent glare; choose a waterproof rating of IP54 or higher to withstand cleaning and watering scenarios.
- Meeting Areas and Rest Areas: Use embedded linear lights above meeting tables to provide uniform base lighting at 300 lux. In rest areas, switch to 2700K warm light, paired with hidden light strips in curtain boxes to create a relaxing atmosphere. File cabinets feature hidden light strip designs, with light directed toward walls or cabinet interiors to avoid direct eye exposure, while also facilitating document retrieval.
Installation Requirements
- Light Trough and Light Strip Compatibility: For deep ceilings ≥12cm, use 2835 light strips (120 beads/meter); for shallow ceilings, select COB light strips (480 beads/meter) to eliminate graininess. For gypsum board embedded profiles, a depth of 20 mm is recommended, with smooth edges and no cracks after plastering.
- Power and Heat Dissipation: For light strips exceeding 10 meters in length, a dual-end power supply is required at both ends to prevent voltage drop and dimming at the ends. Aluminum profile light slots combined with heat dissipation fins ensure the light strip operating temperature remains ≤50°C. Standardized Connectors: When purchasing, confirm compatibility with three-pin/two-pin specifications to avoid modification waste.
- Flicker Requirements: Avoid resistor-capacitor voltage-reducing power supplies; prioritize flicker-free driver power supplies. Ensure stable current to extend fixture lifespan and prevent visual fatigue. After powering on, use a smartphone camera to check for any flickering or stripes in the light.
Smart Control Expansion
The smart LED system automatically adjusts color temperature and brightness, such as using the DMX512 protocol to control grouped dimming, switching color temperature between meeting and overtime modes, and using a Wi-Fi smart system linked to a human presence sensor, increasing light brightness when someone is working and dimming it when no one is present, automatically reducing power consumption to achieve energy-saving goals.

Acceptance Criteria
No visible light spots on any workstation; no “ghosting” flickering after lights are turned off (check neutral and live wire connections); no glaring glare when looking directly at the light source from 3 meters away.
Acceptance Criteria
Öğe | Acceptance Parameters | Testing Tools |
Glare Control | UGR<19 | Glare tester |
Color Temperature Consistency | Color temperature difference between adjacent light strips ≤100K | Spectrometer with multi-point sampling |
Response Speed | Scene switching delay ≤0.5 seconds | Stopwatch measurement |
Notes for Installing LED Linear Lights

Installation Preparation: Prior to installing LED linear lights, ensure that power cables are pre-installed in the circuit, measure the precise dimensions of the installation location, and prepare materials such as profiles, light strips, and power supplies.
Check the power parameters per meter of the light strips. Mark the installation location using a level, and secure the profiles with screws or structural adhesive. For decorative light channels with a depth of ≥12 mm, use 2835 light strips (120 LEDs per meter), or for shallow channels, use COB light strips (480 LEDs per meter) to prevent a grainy appearance. For gypsum board ceilings, we recommend using 20 mm edgeless profiles to ensure a smooth finish after plastering.
Power supply configuration: Use branded driver power supplies to avoid unstable operation caused by low-quality power supplies, which can damage the LED beads. Hide the power supply in maintenance access panels, recessed light holes, or cabinets, and leave spare wires for maintenance. Check the power parameters per meter of the light strip, calculate the power supply’s power based on the installation length, and match the total power of the light strip to 80% of the power supply’s total power. This ensures the power supply does not overload, prolonging the lifespan of the work lights.
Light strip parameters: Light strips are typically installed inside linear lights. The color rendering index (CRI) of the light strip should be RA ≥ 90, and the color temperature should be consistent with other lighting fixtures in the space; for example, in a 4000K office area, no other color temperatures should be present. For long-distance installations, both ends of the light strip must be connected to the power supply for power supplementation to ensure consistent voltage drop at both ends, preventing voltage drop due to excessive cable length from causing dark zones in the LED chips.
Pre-installation and fixation: During the carpentry stage, pre-install light slots and apply anti-cracking mesh inside the slots to prevent cracking later. When installing exposed lights, use clips to fix the aluminum slots and center the light strips to prevent light distortion.
Corner treatment: Cut the profiles at a 45° angle and join them together. Drill holes at the corners and thread the light strips through instead of welding. When bending the light strips, gently insert them into the holes to avoid 90° hard folds that could cause the beads to burst.
Dust and Protection: Apply masking tape over the light slots before applying plaster to prevent plaster contamination of the light strips; clean debris before installing the diffuser to ensure even light output without shadows.
Power-On Testing: Test the circuit before powering on to prevent reversed neutral and live wires. The switch must control the live wire! Incorrectly connecting the live wire to the neutral wire may cause flickering and “ghosting” after turning off the lights. Test the circuit before powering on to avoid reversed neutral and live wires.
Kesme Specifications: Cut the light strip according to the marked positions; misalignment will cause the entire section to remain unlit. Reinforce the joints with soldering to eliminate the risk of black breaks.
Acceptance: No flickering, no granular texture, no dark zones or breaks. Wall requirements: After plastering, the edges of the light slots should be free of waves, and the wall’s flatness should meet standards under lighting.
