Custom & Curved

The Challenge

Standard linear lighting stops working the moment the design stops being straight. A curved reception counter, a circular ceiling detail or an oval pendant needs a profile that matches the radius exactly, with an LED engine that does not bunch, shadow or fail on the inside of the bend.

Our Approach

Think-max takes custom linear lighting from drawing to production in one factory. We bend and roll aluminium profiles to 2D and 3D curves, including full circles, ovals, radii as tight as R150 and complex S-bends. Because the profile is formed first and the LED engine is laid afterwards, output stays even around the curve instead of concertinaing on the inner edge.

For truly non-standard shapes we extrude a dedicated die. Tooling is developed in-house, so a new section can go from concept drawing to sample in weeks rather than months — with the diffuser, end caps and mounting hardware designed alongside it.

Typical Applications

• Circular, oval and ring luminaires
• Curved reception desks and counters
• Arched ceiling and cove details
• Curved facade and column lighting
• Bespoke architectural features and art installations

Start With a Drawing

A sketched radius, a CAD curve or a photo of the detail is enough to start. We will come back with a feasible section, the minimum bend radius, a sample plan and a production lead time — and if the shape cannot be bent in one piece, we will tell you where the joins should fall.
