Flow Slim Extra Long Linear LED Light | Suspended | White | Customisable

The fitting is supplied with 2m suspension wires, which can be shortened on site to set your drop height. The right height depends on what sits beneath it.

Over a table, bar counter or reception desk, aim for roughly 700mm to 900mm above the work surface. That keeps the light close enough to define the zone and give a strong visual line without the fitting sitting in eye line for anyone seated. Over circulation routes, walkways and any area people move through, keep the underside of the fitting at least 2.1m above finished floor level so there is no head height issue. Ceiling height matters too. In a space with a high ceiling, a longer drop stops the light looking lost against the soffit, while in a standard 2.7m office ceiling a short drop of 200mm to 400mm usually works best. If you are unsure, our lighting designers will advise on drop height alongside the lux calculation.

The fitting has a colour rendering index above 90Ra, using Bridgelux 2835 LEDs with a colour consistency tolerance of 3 SDCM or better.

CRI describes how accurately a light source shows colour compared with natural daylight. Above 90Ra means fabrics, finishes, food and skin tones all appear as they should, rather than washed out or shifted. In retail this affects whether merchandise looks like the product a customer expects when they get it home. In restaurants and bars it affects how food and drink appear on the table. In hotels and workplaces it affects how the interior finishes you have specified actually read in the space. Many lower cost fittings sit at 80Ra, which is acceptable for a warehouse or a plant room but noticeable in a customer facing interior. The 3 SDCM tolerance matters just as much on a run this long, because it means every fitting across a project matches, with no visible variation in tint from one to the next.

The light runs from a single remote driver supplied with the fitting, so your electrician wires one power feed for the full 2.5m rather than two. The driver sits away from the light itself, normally in the ceiling void or another concealed position nearby, with a low voltage connection through to the fitting.

Two things to plan for at first fix. The driver position needs to stay accessible for maintenance, so avoid burying it above a sealed plasterboard ceiling with no hatch. And the driver should sit reasonably close to the fitting rather than at the far end of a long void, so confirm the position with us if your only practical location is some distance away. The fitting is Protection Class II, meaning it is double insulated and does not require a protective earth connection, and it accepts a supply voltage between 100 and 277V AC at 50 or 60Hz. For a competent electrician this is a straightforward installation, and the single driver keeps the wiring simpler than a two-part fitting would normally suggest.
