Keystone Architectural Linear LED Fixtures

Meet the Keystone Linta – an architectural-grade, direct/indirect LED linear fixture. Features an unparalleled blend of flexibility, attractive design and high performance specs. Not to mention easy tool-free assembly and modular linking of the fixtures together to create a continuous row of illumination. Like many LED linear strip fixtures, it comes in 2′, 3′, 4′ and 8′ lengths but is also available in different shapes like an X-Shape, T-Shape or L-Shape. All lengths of these fixtures are color-selectable between 2700K/3000K/3500K/4000K/5000K as well as three different power levels to switch between.

January 11-12, 2024 – Premier Lighting exhibited at Minnesota School Boards Association 2024 Leadership Conference at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Each year, the MSBA Leadership Conference attracts more than 2,000 school board members, superintendents, business managers and school leaders – concerned people who are anxious to see and hear about new and better products and services in education. This was an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate how Premier Lighting can accommodate school districts big or small! Premier Lighting recently became members of the Cooperative Purchasing Connection (CPC) which is the go-to purchasing contract for schools, city & county governments for capital projects and facility maintenance.  

After the New Year the Premier Lighting team got together to celebrate a great 2023 with a friendly night of Pickleball!
