ULIGHT — MODEL 1310
The ULIGHT 1310 is a 13×10mm anti-glare magnetic LED bar for shelf-front retail lighting. Its 30° angled aluminum profile directs light toward the display edge while reducing visible glare from the aisle. It shares the 1010 LED PCB, 12V/24V DC platform, CRI>80/90/95 options, and TB-U power track compatibility.

What Is an Anti-Glare Magnetic LED Bar?
An anti-glare magnetic LED bar is a shelf-lighting fixture that combines magnetic mounting with a profile geometry designed to reduce direct glare while precisely illuminating the front edge of a retail shelf. The ULIGHT 1310 achieves this through a 13×10mm aluminum housing with a 30° angled body — a structural variant of the 1010 series built specifically for shelf-front installation in gondola shelving, display cabinets, and store fixtures.
Standard magnetic LED bars emit at a 120° beam angle. When placed at the shelf centre, much of this output travels horizontally and misses the front display edge entirely. The 1310’s 30° angled aluminum profile redirects this output toward the shelf front when the bar is installed at the front edge — illuminating the products customers see first, while the housing geometry keeps the LED emitters outside their direct line of sight from the aisle.
Why Does Anti-Glare Shelf Lighting Matter for Retail Displays?
Anti-glare shelf lighting is a specification requirement in retail environments where shopper comfort and product visibility must both be met. When a light source is visible from the aisle, it creates a hotspot that draws the eye away from the merchandise and can make packaging appear washed out — reducing the impact of the shelf presentation that fixture manufacturers and shopfitting contractors work to achieve.
Standard bars at the shelf centre leave the front edge — the most visible product zone — underlit.
1310 SOLUTION30° angled profile directs light toward the shelf front when the bar is installed at the front edge.
Light sources visible from the aisle create glare that distracts shoppers and reduces product colour impact.
1310 SOLUTIONAngled housing keeps the LED emitter outside the shopper’s direct line of sight from the aisle.
Fixture manufacturers need a shelf-front anti-glare solution that works with existing DC track systems.
1310 SOLUTIONFull compatibility with TB-U DC power track — the 1310 runs on the same track as 1010 bars.
Switching to a specialised anti-glare bar normally means new driver calculations and system changes.
1310 SOLUTIONShared PCB with 1010 — driver sizing follows the same formula as the 1010. No system redesign needed.

How Is the 1310 Anti-Glare LED Bar Installed on Retail Shelving?
The 1310 uses the same mounting methods as the 1010 series — magnetic strip for metal surfaces, mounting clip for non-metal surfaces including wood, MDF, and glass. The key difference is installation direction: the angled face must point toward the shelf interior so that light falls on the products rather than toward the aisle.
| Surface type | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steel / metal shelf frame | Magnetic strip backing | Standard — snaps on, no tools required |
| Glass cabinet or glass shelf | Mounting clip or project-specific fixing | Confirm fixing method by glass thickness, frame structure, and installation direction; angled face must point toward cabinet interior |
| Wood / MDF / non-metal surface | Mounting clip (TB-U-MC) | Clip screwed to fixture; bar slides into clip |
Which DC Power Track and Drivers Are Compatible With the 1310?
The 1310 is a low-voltage DC bar and operates within the same ULIGHT magnetic shelf lighting system as the 1010. It is fully compatible with the ULIGHT TB-U DC Power Track. Fixture manufacturers can mix 1310 and 1010 bars on the same track run — for example, using 1310 bars at the shelf front for anti-glare retail shelf-front lighting and 1010 bars further back for general shelf illumination.
| System component | Model | Role |
|---|---|---|
| DC power track | TB-U | Carries power along shelf; bars connect magnetically at any point |
| Power feed connector | TB-U-CTP | Connects DC driver to track (8A per single feed) |
| Track-to-bar connector | TB-U-CTL | Direct feed from track to individual bar (3A max) |
| DC driver | ULIGHT driver series | Sold separately; sized to total bar wattage on run |
Because the 1310 shares the same power specification as the 1010 (24V: ~10W/m, 12V: ~11W/m), driver sizing follows the same formula as the 1010. No system redesign is required when adding 1310 bars to an existing installation — add the 1310 wattage to the total load and confirm against the driver capacity.
Where Is the ULIGHT 1310 Used for Retail Shelf-Front Lighting?
The 1310 anti-glare magnetic LED bar is suited to gondola shelving and fixture configurations where the bar is placed at the front edge and anti-glare shelf lighting is a project requirement. It is most commonly specified by retail fixture manufacturers and shopfitting contractors for:
- Pharmacy gondola shelving — shelf-front lighting that illuminates product packaging without glare at eye level for customers and pharmacy staff
- Cosmetics and beauty displays — high-CRI anti-glare shelf lighting that shows accurate product colours under retail lighting conditions
- Supermarket category shelving — front-edge illumination across multiple shelf levels where consistent, non-distracting lighting improves product visibility
- Brand store gondola fixtures — where the fixture design positions the light source at the shelf front as part of the display aesthetic
- Glass display cabinets — enclosed or semi-enclosed cabinet shelving where the bar sits at the front edge of each shelf tier, using clip mounting on glass or metal frames
NOT IDEAL FOR
- Installations where the bar can be placed at the shelf centre or rear — the 1010 offers non-directional flexibility in those cases
- Ceiling, overhead, or recessed architectural lighting — the 30° angled profile is designed for horizontal shelf-front use
- Installations where the bar orientation cannot be controlled or verified during fitting
- AC-direct installations — the 1310 requires a low-voltage DC driver (see the 1709 series for AC-direct plug-and-play options)
