4 FT LED Direct/Indirect Suspended Linear Fixture, 5500 Lumen Max, Wattage and CCT Selectable, 120-277V, Black, White, or Silver Finish

Product Description

Who This Fixture Is For

This direct/indirect suspended linear fixture is built for architects, interior designers, and electrical contractors working on spaces where the lighting itself is part of the design. The slim 2.75 inch wide profile, three finish options, and adjustable up-and-down light distribution make it a fixture that contributes to the look of a room. With a 10-foot aircraft cable kit included and multiple mounting options at checkout, it can be hung in open ceilings, recessed into drywall, mounted to a wall, or dropped into a T-bar grid. It's particularly suited for:

• Modern offices and open-plan workspaces, where indirect uplight reduces ceiling glare on monitor-heavy desks
• Conference rooms, executive suites, and reception areas, where finish and form factor matter as much as lumens
• Retail showrooms and hospitality environments, where suspended linear lighting creates clean architectural lines
• Coworking spaces and collaborative workspaces, where the optional acoustic panel kits double as both light and sound treatment
• Architectural lighting projects, where L, X, Y, T, and V connector pieces allow custom shapes and patterns
• Medical and dental practices, classrooms, and libraries, where soft indirect light is preferred over harsh direct downlighting

The 120-277V input handles standard commercial circuits, and the damp location rating means it works in higher-humidity interior spaces where standard fixtures wouldn't be suitable.

Major Benefits of the WareLight Beam Adjustable Series

True Direct/Indirect With Independent Control

Unlike fixtures that mix uplight and downlight at a fixed ratio, this one lets you set the balance. Even better, the up-and-down components can be controlled independently for both intensity and color temperature. That means you can run a warmer 3000K uplight bouncing off the ceiling while keeping a crisp 4000K downlight on work surfaces, which is the kind of layered light professional designers spec.

Selectable Wattage and Four Color Temperatures

A single SKU covers four wattage levels and four color temperatures. For projects with mixed-use spaces, this lets a single fixture work across conference rooms, open offices, and lobbies with distinct lighting moods.

Linkable for Continuous Runs and Custom Shapes

Fixtures with the standard black, white, or silver finish can be linked end-to-end for continuous runs up to 600W total, and connector pieces are available separately to create geometric patterns, perimeter outlines, or custom configurations. The connectors come in black and white finishes to match the fixture body. Note that the acoustic and wood finish options are not linkable and are only available with a suspended mounting.

Acoustic and Wood Finish Upgrades

Beyond the standard black, white, and silver finishes, the series offers acoustic panel upgrades in dark gray, gray, or royal blue, and premium wood finish kits in natural and teak. Acoustic panels are made from high-density PET fiber and absorb ambient noise, which is useful in open offices and collaborative workspaces. The wood options bring warmth and a more natural feel to modern offices, retail spaces, and hospitality environments.

Five Mounting Configurations

The fixture ships with a suspended cable kit included, and at checkout, you can add a wall mount, T-bar mount, mud flange (for flush drywall installs), or recessed flange kits. That flexibility matters on projects where the same fixture is used in different ceiling types within the same building.

FAQs: WareLight Beam Adjustable Direct/Indirect Linear Fixture

What does direct/indirect mean, and why would I choose it over a regular downlight?

Direct/indirect fixtures emit light both downward toward the work surface and upward toward the ceiling, where it bounces back into the room as soft, diffuse ambient light. The result is more even illumination with less glare on monitors and polished surfaces, which is why direct/indirect is the standard for modern open offices and conference rooms. A pure downlight gives you brighter task surfaces but tends to leave the upper half of the room dark, an effect known as the "cave look."

Can I really control the uplight and downlight separately?

Yes, the fixture supports four preset up/down distribution ratios (0/100, 30/70, 40/60, 50/50), and the up-and-down components can be controlled independently for both dimming and color temperature. That allows for warmer ambient uplight with cooler task downlight, or fully independent dimming zones from the same fixture.

How do the connector pieces work for custom shapes?

The L, X, Y, T, and V connector pieces are sold separately and physically join multiple Beam fixtures into shapes like rectangles, crosses, branches, and angled patterns. Designers use them to outline ceilings, create floating geometric forms, or define zones in open-plan spaces. The connectors are available in black and white finishes to match the standard fixture body. Keep in mind that the acoustic panel and wood finish versions of the fixture are not compatible with linking or connectors, so plan finish selection around whether continuous runs or custom shapes are part of the design.

What's the difference between the suspended, mud flange, and recessed flange mounting options?

The suspended mount is included and uses the 10-foot aircraft cable kit to hang the fixture below the ceiling. A mud flange is for recessed installations in drywall ceilings, where the goal is a clean, flangeless look, with the fixture sitting flush to the ceiling plane. A recessed flange is also recessed, but leaves a visible trim flange around the opening, which simplifies installation and gives a more defined edge. Wall-mount and T-bar mounts are available for vertical surface installations and standard drop ceiling grids, respectively.
