LinearStar is a linear outdoor LED sign lighting and wall washer system from US LED. It effectively illuminates exterior signs, walls, and architectural details so businesses can stand out after dark with precise, energy-efficient lighting.

The LinearStar system is also scalable, meaning individual sections can be combined to create longer runs for signs of different sizes. The updated design supports uplight and downlight installations, providing sign professionals with greater flexibility for a wide range of outdoor applications.

LinearStar is specifically designed for use on exterior signs, walls, accent areas, and architectural surfaces that need clear visibility at night. It is ideal for commercial sign lighting and wall-washing applications, enabling businesses to highlight their signage or architectural details with precise, even illumination.

The unique design of LinearStar allows for scalability to accommodate various sign sizes. It comes in 1-foot and 4-foot sections that can be combined to create longer lengths for larger signs.

LinearStar effectively addresses common lighting challenges associated with signage, including:

• Poor visibility at night
• Uneven illumination
• Difficult mounting conditions
• Service downtime
• Illuminating non-lighting signage

LinearStar enhances the appearance of exterior signs, walls, and architectural features, making them brighter and more vibrant so they stand out when visibility is essential.

For sign companies, LinearStar simplifies challenging installations by accommodating both uplight and downlight applications. Its modular 1-foot and 4-foot sections can be combined for longer runs, and each section can be serviced individually without disrupting adjacent units. This flexibility makes it easier to adapt the system to various sign sizes and project requirements.

LinearStar stands out from traditional sign lighting due to its modular, scalable, and flexible design. It can be used as a 4-foot standalone unit or combined with additional 1-foot and 4-foot sections, making it easier to create longer runs for different sign sizes, walls, and architectural features.

LinearStar also supports uplight and downlight installations, providing sign companies with more options, especially in challenging mounting conditions or when a specific lighting effect is required.

Another significant advantage is the quality of light produced by LinearStar. It utilizes proprietary refractive optics to evenly distribute light across signs, walls, and architectural surfaces while remaining close to the surface. This design minimizes dark spots, shadows, and hot spots.

For maintenance, LinearStar’s modular sections can be serviced individually without affecting adjacent units. This feature reduces disruption and supports ongoing sign maintenance over time.
