Linear
Linear prismatic optics are designed to provide directional glare control and controlled light redistribution using parallel prism structures. Unlike isotropic geometries (hexagon or honeycomb), linear prisms shape light primarily along one axis, making them especially suitable for corridor lighting, linear luminaires, wall washers, and asymmetric lighting designs.
The Linear Prismatics series enables UGR reduction, beam shaping, and luminance control while preserving high optical efficiency, making it ideal for applications where directionality and visual guidance are required.

Linear Prism Geometry Benefits
Linear prism geometry consists of parallel prismatic ridges that refract and redirect light in a controlled, directional manner.
Key geometry advantages include:
- Directional glare control: Suppresses high-angle luminance along the prism axis, supporting UGR control in linear installations.
- Asymmetric beam shaping: Enables forward throw, wall washing, or corridor-focused distributions without additional reflectors.
- High optical efficiency: Light is redirected rather than scattered, maintaining higher lumen output compared to diffusive solutions.
- Reduced sparkle and controlled highlights: Smooth linear facets minimize unwanted point reflections when properly aligned with LED arrays.
- Predictable photometric behavior: Ideal for designers requiring consistent and repeatable light distributions.
