Direct view linear LED luminaires are lines of individually addressable LED nodes that can produce precisely controllable light for architectural accentuation and communicative façade lighting. These fixtures are designed to underline the desired architectural character, make a visually stunning addition to the perception of architecture at night, and convey information that goes beyond transforming the appearance of a façade or structure. Light has been used to envelop a building like a second skin.
Architectural lighting is just as important as the building exterior design itself because it helps define space, generates lasting impressions, creates art from darkness, and enables new perspectives. Direct view linear LED luminaires breathe new life into architectural lighting design which has previously been relying on floodlighting, spotlighting, wall washing, wall grazing to accomplish design goals. Traditional lighting solutions project light towards the building, whereas direct view LED luminaires project light out from the building and offer distinctive capabilities to create architectural impressions.
