When it comes to lighting, the choices can feel endless. Linear LED lights or recessed? Track lighting or pendants? Floor lamps or wall sconces? It's enough to make your head spin. However, in this post we're going to focus on linear lights versus recessed lights. Which one is better for which room?
Let's start by defining our terms. Linear LED lights are a type of direct-lighting fixture aligned in a straight line. This means that light is directed downward; there is no indirect component to linear LED lights. Recessed lighting, on the other hand, refers to light fixtures that are installed into the ceiling—giving them a very discreet appearance and allowing light to be directed upward (and sometimes downward) toward whatever they are illuminating.
For most rooms, either linear LED lights or recessed lights will work well. But if you want to get a little more specific with what kind of lighting you'd like based on where you'd like it installed, read on!
Recessed lighting is an excellent choice for the more public areas of your home. It gives your living room that cozy glow you need to unwind after a long day at work or school. They can give a room a more intimate feel, which is why they're often used in bedrooms and living rooms. They are also great because they can light up an entire room evenly!
Recessed lighting also comes with the perk of versatility. We install them with dimmable controls, so you can decide what mood your space can have!
If you're looking for lighting that can keep up with the unique needs of your kitchen or bathroom, linear LED lights might be your best bet. They provide task lighting that's optimal for chopping vegetables and applying makeup. If you want to create a clean, modern look for the room, linear lights are the way to go. You can install them along your kitchen island, on the ceiling above your bar (if you have one), or in the bathroom—the possibilities are endless!
They are also great for creating artwork on your ceiling. They offer versatility in ways that other types of lighting don’t. They can be arranged in many different ways to create designs in your hallways or living rooms! Just check out some of our favorite projects using linear lights in artistic ways:
