Linear & Rectangular Ceiling Light Fixtures

What are your options when you are not a big fan of square or round light fixtures? Look no further than a linear ceiling light. These fixtures can be as functional or decorative as you want them to be. Moreover, linear flush mount lighting minimizes the space you have to apportion to the fixtures. That said, you might also choose a suspended installation when you have some room to work with. Perfect as a kitchen island light, linear light fixtures provide functional lighting for your space. 

Focus on Efficiency First with a Linear Ceiling Light

A middle of the road, good-quality linear flush mount ceiling light holds up to four T8-type bulbs. These fixtures are sleek, chic, and a frequent choice of developers. For something a little more ornate, consider linear ceiling light fixtures featuring a rail mount system. Once again, you typically find four individual hanging light sources attached to the rail. Some of these linear ceiling lights offer the added benefit of aiming individual bulbs in different directions.  For a more modern approach, semi flush dimmable ceiling lighting can help adjust the color temperature in your living room or shared space. Modern lighting, like sputnik-shaped pendants and chandeliers, look great over dining room tables. Island pendant lights are perfect with the right glass shade (or clear glass paired with the right lumens) hung with linear suspension and the right light bulbs for the job.

Linear ceiling lights are available from many top brands including Kichler, Eurofase, Hinkley, Minka Lavery, WAC Lighting, and Hudson Valley Lighting. Choose a finish that matches your home decor style, like brushed nickel, matte black, or satin nickel. Coordinating linear pendant lights can also be found in the same finish. Whether you like mid-century modern style or something for a modern farmhouse, you'll be able to find the right linear ceiling light to complete your design.

What fixture is ideal when you are looking to put some glam on the ceiling? If this describes you lighting needs, look no further than the linear chandelier, which is an eye-catching setup that comes in several sizes. Of course, you can also go the other direction and opt for minimalist downlighting. A good example is a linear island lighting fixture.
