Linear lighting and non-linear lighting have very different characteristics in lighting design and control. Linear lighting is characterized by a simple bar layout and is suitable for uniform light; while non-linear lighting is more dynamic and creative, suitable for creating unique light effects and atmosphere. The choice of which lighting method depends on the needs of the specific design and the goal of the lighting effect.
