360° tube lights are used when a commercial interior needs a visible luminous line or pendant rather than a conventional point fixture. Start with the required shape, diameter, mounting route and lighting effect. KLM then reviews the drawing and recommends the appropriate tube family and project configuration.
Choose the 360° tube family for the project
| Project need | Suitable starting point | What to send before quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Formed pendant, wall feature or spatial form with an all-round luminous appearance | 360° LED acrylic tube | Shape, dimensions, support or mounting concept, and a visual reference |
| Custom flexible feature line requiring structural and installation support from an integrated aluminium profile | 360° silicone LED tube with aluminum profile | CAD, curve geometry, support points, cable route and required lighting effect |
| Repeatable fashion-retail ceiling feature made from tube modules | Fashion retail ceiling lighting case | Ceiling plan, module concept, merchandise-lighting coordination and programme quantity |
What to confirm before selecting a 360° tube light
- Form and dimensions: CAD or dimensioned sketch, tube diameter, overall length and intended visible geometry.
- Installation: pendant, wall, ceiling or freestanding position; support points, access, cable entry and driver or controller location.
- Light effect: single-colour or white-light intent, or colour-changing intent. Do not assume all configurations use the same controller, joints or run length.
- Project context: application, quantity, destination, programme timing and sample requirement.
Acrylic tube or silicone tube with aluminium profile?
Acrylic tube: a starting point for formed custom pendants and spatial forms. Final shape, sectioning, joints, mounting and transport are reviewed against the drawing.
Silicone tube with aluminium profile: a starting point for custom feature lines where the profile contributes structure and installation. The product page explains the confirmed selection boundary: Generation 2 is single-colour and can be made up to 30 m without intermediate splice joints, subject to drawing and power review; Generation 1 is the RGB/RGBW configuration using up-to-10 m segments and splice joints for longer arrangements.

Send this information for a project review
Send the CAD drawing and, where available, a rendering or visual reference. Include dimensions, quantity, installation position, required lighting effect, cable or control requirements and project timing. KLM can review feasibility and recommend the appropriate configuration before quotation.

FAQ
Can a 360° tube light be made in a custom shape?
Custom forms are reviewed from the drawing. Final feasibility depends on the selected tube family, geometry, support and installation plan.
Can one 360° tube configuration cover both single-colour and RGB/RGBW projects?
Do not make a universal assumption. For KLM’s silicone-with-aluminium-profile family, the confirmed single-colour seamless and RGB/RGBW segmented options have different selection boundaries; review the product page and project drawing.
What should I send for a quotation?
CAD or dimensions, visual reference, quantity, installation context, desired lighting effect, cable or control requirements, destination and timing.
