1. Introduction1.1 What is the liniLED® Forta?

The liniLED® Forta is designed to create diffuse light lines. The light image of these lines is completely homogeneous. The liniLED® Forta can be integrated into floor and paving. Due to the use of stainless steel (AISI 316L) and IP68 connectors, these casted light lines are perfectly suited for public applications.

The liniLED® assortment includes two different types of IP68 light lines: the Forta and Forta S. The LED strip used in the Forta S is brighter than the one used in the Forta. The standard lengths are 1'4" (415 mm), 3'4" (1015 mm) and 6'7" (2015 mm).
