Integrated Linears 2025 IES Progress Report

Posted on: September 4, 2025

Modular International proudly announces that its Integrated Linears have been recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress Report Committee for its unique and significant advancement to the art and science of lighting.

The IES Progress Report recognizes professionalism, ingenuity, and originality in luminaire design and industry advancement. Each year the IES Progress Report Committee reviews entries from global lighting fixture and component manufacturers and selects key submissions to be recognized with its prestigious IES Progress Report Selection seal. Modular International’s Integrated Linears fixtures were accepted to the IES Progress Report based on their modularity with different styles and functionality of LED lighting options, installation labor savings by having some mechanical elements preinstalled within the fixture by Modular International, and seamless integration into any ceiling system or material from drywall & plaster, to wood plank and slat, as well as acoustical drop ceiling systems and acoustical clouds.

Integrated Linears fixtures offer a sleek, modern integrated solution in one customizable system. Featuring recessed or surface mounted fixture lengths up to 10 feet per section, Integrated Linears fixtures offer custom placement of third-party mechanical elements such as HVAC diffusers, audio speakers, fire safety systems, security and web conferencing cameras, daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors, and other smart-building technology alongside individual spots and continuous linear LED inserts. This creates a fully integrated lighting solution that can be built into any ceiling material or system without compromising design or performance.

Whether installed in a conference room within a corporate office environment to a press room/ entertainment space within an NFL stadium or installed in a K-12 class room or lecture hall in an university facility, Integrated Linears provide a clean, all-in-one approach to integrated lighting in public spaces. This recognition from the IES further solidifies Modular International’s reputation for innovation in the architectural lighting space.
