Flexible linear lights are the perfect light design element to create a wow factor in any environment. Thanks to their elegance and diffused light they emphasize any setting where they are located. Let’s discover the secrets of these lights.
Flexible linear lights – what are they?
First of all, let’s find out what flexible linear lights are: they are long composite light ribbons with small LED chips positioned at regular intervals between them. These strip lights, available in various lengths, are very thin which makes them excellent for various uses, both indoors and outdoors.
This type of LED light is available both with the LED chips inserted inside a polyurethane body, or left exposed. The choice depends on the lighting effect you want to obtain, as well as on the environment in which the linear lights will be installed. If the linear LED lights used are left covered by the polyurethane body, not only is their beauty undiminished, they are also more resistant.
Flexible linear lights are the perfect solution for effective yet impactful lighting. This type of lighting, in fact, thanks to its structure, adapts to any type of application. Its flexibility makes for an element that fits in with the architecture of the context, whatever it is.
Cantalupi Light Engineering offers various models of flexible linear lights, made with a flexible LED strip covered by a polyurethane compound. In this way the LED lighting strip is resistant to weather, UV rays and abrasion.
These characteristics make it the perfect product for yacht lighting, both indoors and outdoors.
The flexible linear lights guarantee a bright and uniform illumination over the entire light surface, even in curves.
Linear lights – how to use them and why
Flexible linear lights are not only the perfect solution for providing diffused lighting in various rooms of the house but are also an excellent solution to enhance the details of your home’s ceiling. A neutral-colored LED strip, for example, is ideal for diffused and non-invasive lighting on a decorated ceiling.
But why should we use flexible linear strip lighting?

- They are excellent for adapting to any type of environment;
- They give a lot of diffused light in a very small space, due to their thinness;

Linear lights are also the perfect solution for the yacht exterior because they are not bulky and are able to emphasize each and every element. A high-impact lighting effect can be obtained by inserting the LED strips by the pool, then changing the color according to the occasion using RGBW-controlled lights.
