Collaboration between Armstrong® Ceiling Solutions and XAL Lighting is making it easier than ever for architects and designers to incorporate linear lighting into both their acoustical and drywall ceiling designs.

The new design opportunities are inspired by the introduction of a new Armstrong Ceilings integrated installation system designed specifically for linear lighting in drywall ceilings. It complements a similar system designed for on-center linear lighting layouts in acoustical ceilings.

Designed to make the creation and installation of linear lighting layouts easier, the new solution uses the Armstrong Ceilings Drywall Grid System and a trim kit containing all end plates, aluminum extrusions, and a special lighting connector bracket. LENO Zero Plenum LED luminaires from XAL Lighting integrate with the grid components for fit and finish.  

Drywall Linear Lighting Solution Fast and Easy to Install

Faster and easier to install compared to traditional framed linear lighting, the new Drywall Linear Lighting solution allows the luminaire to install from below, eliminating ceiling rework, while offering higher ceiling heights and zero plenum interference. 

The ultra-thin, four-inch-wide XAL LENO Zero Plenum Luminaire features high output, energy efficient LED lighting for any space and a high performance opal cover for uniform illumination and enhanced glare control.  

When installed in the grid system, the luminaire provides a seamless integration between drywall ceiling and linear lighting for consistent fit and finish. It also allows designers to leverage LED lighting in long runs to create a more monolithic look.

Joins Acoustical On-Center Linear Lighting Solution

In addition to the drywall linear lighting solution, Armstrong Ceilings also offers an on-center continuous or non-continuous linear lighting installation system 
for acoustical ceilings. It includes factory-finished Armstrong ceiling panels, 9/16” suspension systems, lighting connector bracket, and XAL LENO Zero Plenum Luminaire.
