In the field of Office Lighting and commercial illumination, the choice of optical components plays a crucial role in determining both efficiency and user comfort.
Among linear optics, the 280mm linear lens family offers versatile solutions, with 1x7 linear lens and 1x14 linear lens designs being two of the most widely used options. Although they share the same Zhaga-compliant standard size, their performance characteristics differ significantly depending on the application.
Structural Design and LED Compatibility
1x14 Linear Lens: esigned to work with two rows of 2835 or 3030 LEDs, This compact design ensures high packing density of LEDs, making it ideal for uniform linear illumination in industrial and retail environments.
1x7 Linear Lens: The 1x7 lens is optimized for single-row LED configurations. It provides a balanced beam distribution with fewer LEDs, often favored in applications where moderate brightness and simplified assembly are priorities.
Optical Performance
Light Efficiency: The 1x14 lens delivers higher optical efficiency due to its larger LED count and optimized beam shaping, which ensures minimal light loss.
Glare Control: Both designs integrate anti-glare features, but the 1x14 version excels in environments where visual comfort is critical, such as office spaces or retail aisles. The 1x7 lens, meanwhile, offers a softer beam, making it suitable for smaller or more intimate lighting zones.
Beam Uniformity: With more LEDs per module, the 1x14 lens provides smoother and more continuous illumination. The 1x7 lens, though slightly less uniform, offers adequate performance for standard office lighting applications.
Application Scenarios
1x14 Linear Lens: Best for retail and industrial lighting where higher efficiency and wide coverage are needed. Excellent choice for open-plan office lighting, ensuring uniform brightness and reduced visual fatigue.
1x7 Linear Lens: Practical for small offices, corridors, and meeting rooms, where compact fixtures are preferred. Cost-effective for projects requiring simplified assembly and moderate output.
Asahi’s 280x40mm linear lens portfolio combines Zhaga standard compliance, high efficiency, and precise optical design.
Whether you choose the 1x7 linear lens for compact layouts or the 1x14 linear lens for maximum efficiency, Asahi ensures optimized solutions tailored to modern office and retail lighting needs.
