Feature or Function?

The first thing to take into consideration with a linear pendant is what purpose you wish it to serve within your existing space. If you have pre-existing lighting from downlights and/or you would like the fitting to serve primarily as a decorative feature, then an option from our Feature Linear Collection would be best suited.

On the other hand, if the linear will be the primary light source in your space or you require it for functional task lighting, one of our Standard LED Linear Pendants may be a better option.
