Fluorescent Continuous Sources
For larger or more utilitarian linear applications, fluorescent sources often prove to be a good solution. These luminaires incorporate linear or compact fluorescent lamps mounted end–to-end to create a continuous effect. This can be accomplished with something as simple as a bare lamp, or the luminaire may have a reflector to direct light. These sources are commonly used in commercial and themed environments in coves, slots, and backlight applications. Some commonly-specified versions of this luminaire are from Belfer, Bartco, Tivoli and Tokistar.

Low-Level Steplight
The low-level area light or “steplight” is a superb tool for delivering light directly onto a ground plane. Too often, when a design calls for light onto the floor, luminaires are placed up high, and, consequently, light is wasted.
Steplights can deliver focused lighting for safety on pathways and stairs.
Steplights succeed in delivering a controlled pool of light that does little to disturb the existing lighted environment. Larger versions of this low-level area light are used in larger settings for illuminating seating areas or exterior areas bound by low walls.
