Unless it hangs from a truss or is floor mounted! Gee gaff, don't be so gosh-dang pedantic. PixelRange was one of the first major manufacturers and called their long units LED battens. Technically, batten is probably more correct than striplight or borderlight.A Batten is the pipe it hangs on.
Would consider xrays to be more a position as compared to a fixture, (front stage, facing at an upwards angle toward stage) as they got the name due to the inverted shadows they cast on performer's faces. Still, almost every "xray" I have seen was a strip/border type fixture along the front of the stage. (Except for Cheep Trick / Rick Nielsen, who preferred 2k fresnels.)I guess no one calls them xrays any longer........
