Keep that line straight! How to maintain precision and consistency with linear lighting fixtures

Linear lighting is a popular solution for open floor plans, like commercial offices. Installation of long linear runs requires special care. The fixture’s body needs to be straight and plum in every section. The joints at each fixture body should be snug so the line of light appears as continuous as possible.

Different manufacturers may approach this in a variety of ways. SURE-FIT alignment in linear lighting from Lumato refers to the precise and consistent installation and alignment of linear lighting fixtures when using their fixtures. This concept ensures the installing contractor aligns fixtures seamlessly, visually and functionally, to create a cohesive and uniform lighting effect.
