Stand-alone or continuous?
A repeated stand-alone batten is a different specification from an architectural line with joined sections, corners, infills and through-wiring.
Linear luminaires fixed to the ceiling
Surface mounted linear lighting
Compare stand-alone battens and architectural linear luminaires for direct ceiling fixing. Start with the type of run, environment and output rather than searching a mixed linear-lighting catalogue.

Specification scopeSeparate surface fixing from suspended and recessed linear intent, then compare the suitable families.
Run builder
Choose the system around the installation
The interaction is specific to surface linear lighting: run form, environment and control strategy lead the shortlist.
Surface run builderMatch the luminaire to the way the ceiling is used
The tool scores mounting format, environment and control needs, then surfaces two relevant families to inspect first.
What kind of run?
What environment?
How should it operate?
The answer layer
Three decisions before a product code
This is the information a general linear category cannot resolve without becoming unwieldy.
Choose the construction
Industrial and back-of-house spaces can push protection and impact resistance forward; offices and education often prioritise visual comfort and appearance.
Plan control and emergency early
Driver, sensor and emergency requirements affect wiring, spacing and the final variant. They belong in the run brief, not as an afterthought.
Mounting-led comparison
Surface families for different kinds of ceiling
The comparison begins with installation format, because that is the intent owned by this page.
| Family | Format | Published output span | Length evidence | Useful option evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aegis | IP65, IK08 vapour-proof batten | 3,675–9,250 lm | 4 ft · 5 ft | DALI · Casambi · PIR · Emergency |
| Glide | 4 ft aluminium LED batten | 2,925–5,200 lm | 4 ft | DALI · Emergency |
| Uni-Fit | Education-focused linear luminaire | 3,675–5,275 lm | 1200 · 1500 mm | DALI · Casambi · Emergency |
| Brilliance | Architectural surface or suspension | 1,725–5,425 lm* | Four standard lengths | DALI · Emergency variants |
* Standard-output model values shown; lower and higher output variants are also recorded in the catalogue.

Page-specific depth
A mounting page should do mounting work
This route owns the surface-fixed decision. It compares installation formats and run types, while the broad linear page remains the place to discover recessed, suspended and continuous systems.
- Only demonstrably surface-compatible families enter the grid.
- Run form and ceiling context shape the page modules.
- Protection, impact and visual priorities change by environment.
- Full electrical and model detail stays on the product route.
