The quality of the linear light of the render of the project depends on some aspects, being:
Parameters - Proportions between Thickness and Intensity
Color - Interaction with Intensity and Use of Color
Effects - Impact of aspects of the Scene
Render Quality - LED Strip Effect
Resolution - Noisy and Refinement
Parameters - Proportions between Thickness and Intensity
The ratio between the Intensity and Thickness parameters is more important than their isolated values.
Smaller thicknesses with higher intensities generate linear concentrated light.
Larger thicknesses with lower intensities generate lines of greater aura, of diffused light.
Color - Interaction with Intensity and Use
Color and intensity are related. Color transmission is affected by light intensity, the more intense the light, the lighter the color.
In the image on the right, the same orange turns yellow by the intensity of the light.
Examples
- Intensity 1, Thickness 15
The relationship between Color and Intensity allows to achieve the effect where the color of the light is not constant, and changes along the diffusion aura.

- Intensity 1.5, Thickness 15.
The greater the intensity of the Linear, the more yellow it appears when the color of the light is orange, for example. Note that the original orange remains at the edges, as in the reference photo.

Optical illusion
Color plays an important role in printing intensity. Dark colors, make the linear look intense and light colors give smoothness. In the images below, only the color is changed.
Effects - Impact of aspects of the Scene
Clarity
Dark scenes highlight linear light, and in bright scenes, greater intensity may be required for its effect to appear.
In the image on the left, the linear light alone illuminates the scene, and the light stands out in the shadows.
In the image on the right, the scene is illuminated by other lights, and the linear effect loses its impact.
Position
The location of linear light is as important as the Intensity and Thickness parameters.
In the image on the left with the linear one away from the wall, the light is diffused.
In the image on the right, with the linear close to the wall, the light bounces and is concentrated.
MCodes
The finishes applied to nearby surfaces affect the result of linear light.
In the image on the left, a rough finish makes the light less intense, and on the right a reflective finish intensifies the effect of linear light.
Render Quality - LED Strip Effect
In the Initial and Final qualities, the render gains performance and you gain the LED strip effect.
IMPORTANT: For linear light use Professional quality.
Resolution - Noisy and Refinement
In images with lower resolutions, little noise can be perceived.
IMPORTANT: In scenes full of refraction and reflexes, opt for larger resolutions.
On images with higher resolutions the refinement is maximum, and the noise is imperceptible.
