Designing continuous suspended linear runs

By , 299 Lighting · Published · 5 min read

In short

Continuous suspended runs join linear modules into unbroken lines of light, made to measure to finish exactly at walls, columns and glazing.

Designing continuous suspended linear runs

A continuous suspended line can run the full length of an office floor with no dark gaps.

Why continuous

  • Clean, architectural lines
  • Even light without dark spots
  • Lines that align with grids and furniture

Planning

  • Setting out from the reflected ceiling plan
  • Suspension points and structure
  • Power feeds and driver locations
  • Controls zones within the run

Junctions and corners

L, T and X junctions turn lines into grids and shapes.

Rio and other linear systems are designed for continuous runs.

Frequently asked questions

How long can a suspended linear run be?

Continuous systems can be joined to almost any length, made to measure.

Where are continuous runs powered?

Usually from one or more feed points along the run, planned with suspension points.
