Product Spotlight: Westgate SCX1.5 Series Seamless Linkable Linear Lighting System

What the SCX1.5 Series Is and Why It Matters  

The SCX1.5 Series is the newest evolution of Westgate’s SCX linear lighting system, designed for projects where clean architectural lines and layout flexibility are essential. With an ultra-slim 1.5-inch wide profile, this system delivers a refined, modern look without sacrificing performance or install versatility.

Unlike standard linear fixtures that lock you into fixed lengths and basic layouts, the SCX1.5 is built as a seamless, linkable modular linear LED lighting system. Straight sections connect cleanly, while modular joints allow contractors to create continuous runs, geometric patterns, and custom configurations without visual breaks. The result is a lighting system that adapts to the space instead of forcing the space to adapt to the fixture.

For modern commercial interiors, offices, conference rooms, hospitality spaces, and high-end retail, the SCX1.5 offers a practical way to meet architectural design intent while keeping installation straightforward and predictable.

Why the SCX1.5 Series Stands Out  

The SCX1.5 Series was designed with real-world installation and project planning in mind. Every feature serves a purpose, helping contractors deliver clean results with fewer compromises.

• Ultra-slim 1.5-inch profile
  Creates crisp architectural lines that blend seamlessly into modern ceilings, helping meet design intent without oversized housings.

• Seamless linkable construction
  Fixtures connect smoothly to form continuous runs with no visible gaps, eliminating the broken look common with standard linear fixtures.

• Fully modular system design
  Straight sections, L, T, X, Y joints, inside and outside corners, and 60° and 120° corner modules allow precise layouts without field modifications.

• Built for new construction and high-end renovations
  The system supports custom designs while remaining practical for retrofits where layout changes are common.

What this means on the jobsite:
Faster layout planning, cleaner installs, and the flexibility to adjust designs without reworking the entire lighting plan. For contractors, that translates into fewer surprises, smoother installs, and a finished result that aligns with both the drawings and the client’s expectations.

Fully Modular System: Design Without Limits  

The SCX1.5 Series is built as a true modular linear lighting system, allowing contractors to design clean, continuous layouts without being boxed into fixed fixture configurations. Every component is designed to connect seamlessly, giving installers the flexibility to execute both simple runs and complex architectural patterns using standard system parts.

Straight Sections & Modular Lengths  

The SCX1.5 Series is available in 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft, and 8 ft straight sections, making it easy to match fixture lengths to real-world ceiling layouts. These straight modules can be linked together to form continuous runs with a consistent 1.5-inch profile from end to end in modern commercial interior lighting environments.

This flexibility makes the system well-suited for:

• Corridors and hallways requiring clean, uninterrupted lines

• Offices and open workspaces

• Conference rooms and meeting areas

• Continuous ceiling runs in modern commercial interiors

Because the lengths are modular, contractors can plan layouts more precisely and avoid excessive fixture overlaps or spacing adjustments that are common with limited-length linear fixtures.

Corner & Joint Modules  

Where the SCX1.5 Series truly separates itself from standard linear fixtures is in its complete library of joint and corner modules. Contractors can create virtually any layout using factory-designed components rather than modifying fixtures in the field.

Available joint and corner options include:

• L, T, X, and Y joint modules for branching layouts and geometric designs

• Inside corner and outside corner modules for clean transitions at walls and intersections

• 60° and 120° corner modules for angled and architectural ceiling designs

• 6-inch and 9-inch linkable modules for fine-tuning runs and achieving precise alignment

Key contractor benefit:

No cutting, no field fabrication, and no layout workarounds. The system is designed to fit the plan, not the other way around, helping reduce installation time and eliminate visual inconsistencies.

Dual Light Control: Uplight + Downlight in One Fixture  

The SCX1.5 Series integrates both uplight and downlight within a single fixture, offering greater control over light distribution without adding separate luminaires. This dual-light design allows spaces to feel brighter and more balanced while maintaining a clean, minimal ceiling appearance.

Selectable switches located inside the fixture allow contractors to adjust the uplight proportion, making it easier to tailor the lighting output to the needs of each space. This added control helps deliver comfortable ambient lighting while reducing harsh direct glare.

This feature is especially valuable in:

• Offices, where balanced light improves visual comfort

• Conference rooms, where glare control is critical

• Libraries, where even indirect illumination supports focus

• High-end commercial interiors, where lighting quality is part of the overall design experience

By combining uplight and downlight in a single modular system, the SCX1.5 Series simplifies layouts while delivering the refined lighting performance expected in modern architectural environments.

Technical Performance Overview  

The SCX1.5 Series is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of commercial applications while maintaining the slim architectural profile that defines the system.

The system operates on 120–277V AC (50/60Hz), making it suitable for most commercial power environments. Wattage options range from 10W to 80W, with corresponding lumen outputs from 1,100 to 8,800 lumens, allowing contractors to scale light levels based on room size, ceiling height, and layout.

At 110 lumens per watt, the SCX1.5 Series provides strong efficiency without sacrificing visual quality. All fixtures support 0–10V dimming for smooth, predictable control and are equipped with multi-CCT selection (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K) via an internal switch, simplifying inventory and field adjustments.

Additional performance highlights include:

• CRI ≥ 80 for accurate color rendering

• IP54 rating for added protection in interior environments

• 50,000-hour rated life for long-term reliability

• 5-year warranty backed by Westgate Manufacturing

For contractors, this means a single linear system that covers a wide range of output needs while remaining consistent in appearance, controls, and performance.
