Item 2. Overview of the Contract [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Overview, Credits are Based in Part on Index Performance [Text Block] The Crediting Method you select determines the Performance Rate for an Indexed Segment. Any applicable Crediting Method may limit the positive Index return used in calculating interest on the End Date of an Indexed Segment. Each Indexed Account will have either: i)a specified Performance Cap, which is the highest Performance Rate that we will credit. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Performance Cap is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%;ii)a Performance Trigger Rate that provides a specified rate of return if the performance of the Index is zero or positive. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Performance Trigger Rate is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%. Alternatively, if the Index return is 1%, and the Performance Trigger Rate is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%;iii)a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, which will either provide a specific rate of return if the Index performance is positive, zero or negative within the Protection Level or be added to the Index performance and the Protection Level if the Index performance is negative and beyond the Protection Level. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 8%; if the Index return is 2% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 8%; oriv)a Dual Rate, which will either provide a minimum rate of return if the Index performance is between zero and the Dual Rate, or will be added to the Index performance if the Index performance is negative. An Index Account with a Dual Rate will also have a Performance Cap, which is the highest Performance Rate that we will credit if the Index performance exceeds the Dual Rate. For example, if the Index return is 60%, and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 50%; if the Index return is 4% and the Performance Cap is 50% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we will credit 15% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, your Segment Ending Value will increase by 15%.In addition, the Reset Rate may limit a positive Index return if you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. We will reset the Indexed Segment Performance Cap rate, Performance Trigger Rate, or Dual Performance Trigger Rate for the remainder of the Indexed Term following the lock, and these Reset Rates may be lower than the original rates. For example, if the Performance Cap is 4% and you choose to lock in the Interim Value, then on the next Indexed Anniversary Date, we could reset the Performance Cap for the remaining Indexed Terms to 2%. If the Index return is 12%, we will credit 2% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment. We guarantee a minimum declared crediting rate for each Indexed Account. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%.                    
Index-Linked Option Overview, Investor Could Lose Money if Index Declines [Text Block] You could lose a significant portion of your investment if the Index declines in value.                    
Index-Linked Option Overview, Guaranteed Minimum Limit on Index Losses [Text Block] We guarantee a minimum declared crediting rate for each Indexed Account. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%.                    
Index-Linked Option Overview, Limiting Index Losses is not Guaranteed to be Offered [Text Block] We will always make at least one Indexed Account available under this Contract, but we do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses.

Prospectus
Are There Charges or
Adjustments for Early
Withdrawals?
If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed
Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value,
which could be negative, and you could lose up to 100% of your
investment due to the Contract Adjustment. For example, if you
allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the entire
amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose up to
$100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more
than 100%) if you also make a deduction to pay a third-party advisory
fee, or have to pay taxes, and tax penalties. Contract Adjustments are
applied to withdrawals, surrenders, reallocations, annuitizations and
Death Benefit payments prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term and
when Secure Lock+® is exercised.

Are There Ongoing Fees and
Expenses?
Yes. There is an implicit ongoing fee on Indexed Accounts to the extent
that your participation in Index gains is limited by the Company
through the use of a Performance Cap, Performance Trigger Rate, Dual
Performance Trigger Rate or Reset Rate. This means that your returns
may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit
on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
Additionally, in certain cases your Contract Value may be subject to a
negative Interim Value adjustment.

RISKS
Location in
Prospectus
Is There a Risk of Loss
From Poor Performance?
Yes:
●You can lose money by investing in the Contract. Your investment in
the Indexed Accounts is subject to all losses in excess of the
Protection Method or Dual Rate you choose including any loss
experienced from a negative Index performance. Under extreme
circumstances, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an
Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate,
up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15%
Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment
in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to
75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25%
Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will
always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses, which
would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested.
●An Interim Value is calculated if an early withdrawal is taken. The
Interim Value formula may result in a loss even if the Index Value at
the time of the withdrawal is higher than the Index Value at the
beginning of the Indexed Term.
●Principal Risks of
Investing in the
Contract
Is This a Short-Term
Investment?
No:
●This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not
appropriate for the investor who needs ready access to cash.
●Indexed interest will only be credited to an Indexed Account at the
end of an Indexed Term. No interest will be credited to funds
withdrawn or surrendered before the end of an Indexed Term.
●Withdrawals taken prior to the end of an Indexed Term may result in
a negative Contract Adjustment based on the Interim Value and loss
of positive Index performance. The Interim Value formula may result
in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is
higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.
●Surrenders and withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and
may be subject to tax penalties.
●At the end of an Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Indexed
Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account as long as
the reallocation request is received on or before the Indexed
Anniversary Date. If we do not hear from you by the end of the
Indexed Term, we will reallocate your Segment Ending Value into a
new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed
Term, Index and Protection Method if available. A new rate will apply
based on the Indexed Segment you select, subject to the guaranteed
minimum rates. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not
available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year
S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap and 10%
Protection Level and will not be eligible for reallocation into another
Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.

What are the Risks
Associated
With the Investment
Options?
●An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor
investment performance of the Indexed Accounts you choose.
Performance can vary depending on the performance of the Indexes
linked to the Indexed Accounts.
●Each Indexed Account has its own unique risks and you should
review the available Indexed Accounts before making an investment
decision.
●The Crediting Method you select may limit positive (upside) Index
returns. This may result in you earning less than the Index return.
For example:
●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Cap, and the Index
return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 10%, we will credit
10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Trigger Rate, and the
Index return is 12% and the Performance Trigger Rate is 10%, we
will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and
the Index return is 12% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is
8%, we will credit 8% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and
the Index return is 60% and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will
credit 50% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●A Reset Rate may limit positive Index return if you choose to lock
the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. For
example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Reset Rate is a 2%
Performance Cap, we will credit 2% in interest at the end of the end
of the Indexed Term.
●While an Indexed Account with Dual Performance Trigger Rate or
Dual Plus may provide for a positive Performance Rate even in the
event of negative Index performance, there is no guarantee of
investment gain. Negative Index performance may result in
significant loss.
●The Protection Level will limit negative (downside) Index returns.
For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Protection Level is
10%, we will deduct 15% (the amount that exceeds the Protection
Level) at the end of the Indexed Term.
●The Dual Rate will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For
example, if the Index return is -25% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we
will deduct 10% at the end of the Indexed Term.
●Each Index is a “price return Index”, not a “total return Index”, and
does not, therefore, reflect dividends paid on the underlying
securities. This will cause the Index to underperform a direct
investment in the securities composing the Index.
●These factors may result in you earning less than the Index
return.

Index-Linked Option Key Information, Price Return Index Underperforms Direct Investments, Risk [Text Block] These factors may result in you earning less than the Index return.                    
Investment Restrictions [Text Block] Yes:●You cannot reallocate from an Indexed Account to another Indexed Account except on an Indexed Anniversary. If you reallocate from an Indexed Account on an Indexed Anniversary that is not the End Date of the Indexed Term, any such reallocation will be based on the Interim Value of the Indexed Account (or the value locked-in through previous exercise of Secure Lock+®). ●All Indexed Segments must begin on the Indexed Anniversary Date. All future Indexed Terms must begin on the same Indexed Anniversary Date. This means that after the initial Indexed Segment is created you can only make reallocations of Contract Value to the Indexed Accounts one time a year. If you have more than one 6-Year Term Indexed Segment in effect at any time, Indexed Terms of the same Indexed Term length must have the same Start Date. ●We determine and provide the available Indexed Accounts and applicable rates for the Crediting Methods of each Indexed Segment at least 5 business days in advance of the Indexed Anniversary Date. We may not offer new Indexed Segments for the Indexed Accounts or we may change the features of an Indexed Account from one Indexed Term to the next, including the Index and current limits on Index gains and losses (subject to any minimum guarantees). Therefore, an Indexed Account may not be available for you to reallocate your Contract Value on an Indexed Anniversary Date. ●We have the right to substitute an alternative Index prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term if an Index is discontinued; we are engaged in a contractual dispute with the Index provider; we determine that our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example, changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; there is a substantial change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly different values and performance; or for a legal reason we cannot offer the Index. If we substitute an Index for an existing Indexed Segment, we will not change the Crediting Method or Protection Method for the Indexed Term. We will attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the existing Index.                    
Key Information, Benefit Restrictions [Text Block] Yes:●Withdrawals will reduce the Death Benefit. ●The Contract will terminate when any Death Benefit is paid due to the death of the Annuitant. ●If you elect to pay third-party advisory fees out of your Contract Value, this deduction may reduce the Death Benefit(s) and other guaranteed benefits, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.                    
Tax Implications [Text Block] ●Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under this Contract.●If you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or IRA, you do not get any additional tax benefit under the Contract.●Earnings on your Contract may be taxed at ordinary income tax rates when you withdraw them, and you may have to pay a penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59½.                    
Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block] ●Your financial professional may receive compensation for selling this Contract to you, both in the form of commissions and because we may share the revenue it earns with the professional’s firm. (Your investment professional may be your broker-dealer, investment adviser, insurance agent, or someone else.)●This potential conflict of interest may influence your investment professional to recommend this Contract over another investment.                    
Exchanges [Text Block] If you already own a contract, some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you currently own. You should only exchange your existing contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.                    
Item 4. Fee Table [Line Items]                      
Item 4. Fee Table [Text Block] Fee TablesThe following tables describe the fees, expenses, and adjustments that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from an Indexed Account. Please refer to your Contract Specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. These charges do not reflect any advisory fees paid to a financial intermediary from Contract Value. If such charges were reflected, the ongoing fees and expenses would be higher. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from an Indexed Account. State premium taxes may also be deducted. Currently there is no premium tax levied for New York residents.   TRANSACTION EXPENSES
There are no sales charges, deferred sales charges, or surrender charges associated with this Contract.

1If you make any withdrawals (including advisory fees), surrender or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method or Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for an Indexed Segment at a time when the Index Value has declined to zero or close to zero.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block] Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract This section describes potential risks associated with the Contract.Market Risk. There is a risk of loss of your investment in the Indexed Segments since the performance tracks a market Index. You are responsible for all losses in excess of the Protection Method you choose. Under extreme circumstances, at the end of an Indexed Term, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that will limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested. The Protection Method applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment including Segments with Annual Locks. Each time you move into a new Indexed Segment, you may have a new Protection Level or Dual Rate and are subject to the same risk of loss as described above. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. For Annual Lock accounts, since the gain or loss is established each year, losses can accumulate so that you could actually lose more than the amount in excess of the Protection Level percent. Losses you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market over the Indexed Term, however, your loss could exceed the Protection Level. For example, if you chose a 10% Protection Level and if loss occurred during each Annual Lock period for the remainder of the term, you could lose more than 90% of your principal in an Annual Lock account.Early Withdrawal Risk. This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-term horizon. You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrendering the Contract. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks. If you withdraw Contract Value from an Indexed Account prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term it will be based on the Interim Value of the Indexed Account. Withdrawals include the deduction of advisory fees paid from your Contract Value. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value in an Indexed Segment. Additionally, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction to your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions to your Indexed Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Indexed Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Once your Indexed Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term. Contract Value must remain in an Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term to be credited with all or partial interest unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. To determine the Interim Value, we apply a formula which is not the actual performance of the applicable Index, but rather a determination of the value of hypothetical underlying investments at the time of the Interim Value calculation. This amount could be less than if you had held the Indexed Segment for the full Indexed Term. It also means that you could have a negative performance, even if the value of the Index has increased during the calculation period. All withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your Contract), reallocation of Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitization of your Contract or payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date will be based on the Interim Value. Deduction of Advisory Fee Risk. This deduction of advisory fees from Contract Value will reduce the Death Benefit and other guaranteed benefits, and may be subject to a negative Contract Adjustment, federal and state income taxes, and a 10% federal penalty tax. Indexed Account Risk. Each available Index will expose you to risks associated with equity markets. Equity markets are subject to the risk that the value of the securities may fall due to general market and economic conditions. Market volatility may exist with the Indices, which means that the value of the Indices can change dramatically over a short period of time in either direction. The Indices used are “price return Indices”, not “total return Indices”, meaning that each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other distributions declared by the companies included in the Index and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. We may change the Index on a particular Indexed Account if the Index is discontinued or if we feel the Index is no longer appropriate. This change may occur in the middle of an Indexed Segment and this change may impact how your Indexed Segment performance and Interim Value are calculated. See the Discontinuance or Substitution of an Index section later in the prospectus for more information. If we do not receive investment instructions from you by the end of an Indexed Term, we will invest your Segment Ending Value in a new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed Term, Index, Protection Level, or Dual Rate, as applicable, if available. The Crediting Method for the new Indexed Segment could be less advantageous than the current Indexed Segment because the rate may be different. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection Level. If your Contract Value has been invested in a new Segment and you wish to withdraw your investment, the Contract Value for that Segment will equal the Interim Value.Investors in an Indexed Account have no rights in the linked Index. You will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other rights that shareholders who invest in mutual funds based on these Indices would have.Additional risks for specific Indices are as follows: ●S&P 500® Price Return Index: This Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Russell 2000® Price Return Index: Compared to mid-and large-capitalization companies, small-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and their securities may be more volatile and less liquid.●Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM: This Index has fewer stocks than broad based indices; therefore, the risk is spread between fewer equity securities. This Index may not track other large cap indices.●First Trust American Leadership IndexTM: In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Nasdaq-100 Index®: This large-cap growth index is comprised of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. This index is comprised of industries such as technology, consumer services, and health care. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.Risks Associated with Crediting Methods and Protection Methods. The available Indexed Accounts with applicable Crediting Methods and Protection Methods will vary over time. Before investing in a new Indexed Segment, you should determine exactly what Indexed Accounts, Protection Methods, and Crediting Methods are available to you. There is no guarantee that more than one Indexed Account will be available in the future. You risk the possibility that you would find declared caps and rates unacceptable (i.e. could be lower than what were available at the time your Contract was issued), so you should make sure the Segment(s) you select is appropriate for your investment goals.●The Protection Method that is applicable to an Indexed Account only provides you with limited protection from negative Index performance at the end of an Indexed Term, or, in the case of Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, each Contract Year during the Indexed Segment. You could lose a significant amount of your Purchase Payment and/or prior earnings under the Contract despite these limits on negative Index returns. You also bear the risk that continued negative Index returns may result in zero or a negative Performance Rate being credited to your Contract Value over multiple strategy periods. Given that the Protection Method applies to a single Indexed Term, if an Indexed Account is credited with a negative Performance Rate for multiple Indexed Terms, the cumulative loss may exceed any single Indexed Term’s stated Protection Method. Similarly, if you select an Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, the Protection Level will apply each Contract Year during an Indexed Term, so if the Index has negative performance for multiple Contract Years during the Indexed Term, the cumulative loss reflected in the Performance Rate at the end of the Indexed Term may exceed any single Contract Year’s stated Protection Level. The Protection Method does not apply to your Interim Value, so in order to receive the full protection you must hold your investment until the end of the Indexed Term.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Caps. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Trigger Rate. If the performance of the Index is zero or positive, a specified rate is used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return may be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term on the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Trigger Rates. Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Dual Performance Trigger Rate. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate is used in determining the Segment Ending Value. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Dual Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Dual Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Dual Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for the other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Dual Plus Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or other Contracts issued at different times.●For Indexed Accounts without an Annual Lock, the indexed performance credited to or deducted from your Indexed Segment is determined on the last day of the Indexed Term. It is not affected by the price of the Index on any date in between the effective date of the Indexed Account and the End Date of the Indexed Term. Annual Lock accounts are not affected by Index prices between the Annual Lock anniversaries. Risks Associated with Secure Lock+®You should carefully consider whether and when to elect a Secure Lock+® of your Interim Value. A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year per Indexed Segment and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value could be less than if you chose not to lock- in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply, and you assume all loss. If you have elected to lock-in and the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase. Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in and the Reset Rate may be lower, significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. Secure Lock+® is not available with all Indexed Accounts. Refer to the “Secure Lock+®” section for additional details and examples.Insurance Company Risk●An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to us, Lincoln New York. Any obligations, guarantees, or benefits of the Contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.●Your receipt of funds invested in the Indexed Segments is based on the claims paying ability of Lincoln New York. You have no ownership rights in the underlying securities. The assets backing the Indexed Accounts are not segregated from other business of Lincoln New York.Contract Changes Risk●We reserve the right, within the law, to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the Indexed Accounts at our discretion and without your consent. We may add to or delete Indexed Accounts currently available. We do not guarantee that more than one Indexed Account option will always be available.●You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrender under the Contract. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks.●You should carefully consider whether and when to elect a Secure Lock+® of your Interim Value. A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year per Indexed Segment and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value could be less than if you chose not to lock-in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply and you assume all loss. If you have elected to lock-in and the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase that Contract Year. Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in and the Reset Rate may be lower, significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. Secure Lock+® is not available with all Indexed Accounts. Refer to the “Secure Lock+®” section for additional details and examples.Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers to conduct our business. As such, our business is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and business interruption risks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data; interference with or denial of service; attacks on websites or systems; operational disruptions; and unauthorized release of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks affecting us, any third-party administrators, underlying funds, index providers, intermediaries, and service providers may adversely affect us and/or your Contract. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including order processing; impact our ability to calculate Contract values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; and/or subject us to regulatory fines, litigation, financial losses or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that systems disruptions, cyberattacks and information security breaches will always be detected, prevented, or avoided in the future. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts. Any such disasters could interfere with our business and our ability to administer the Contract. For example, they could lead to delays in our processing of Contract transactions, including orders from Contractowners, or could negatively impact our ability to calculate Contract values. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters will always be avoided.Purchase Payment Risk. We do not accept additional Purchase Payments after the Contract has been issued to you. Accordingly, you will be unable to increase your Contract Value or Death Benefit by making subsequent Purchase Payments. You should carefully consider the amount of your Purchase Payment when purchasing the Contract and whether to take a withdrawal under the Contract. The reduction of Contract Value as a result of a withdrawal may not be offset by gains as a result of positive performance of your investment selections.You must obtain our approval for a Purchase Payment totaling $1 million or more. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all existing Lincoln Level Advantage®, Lincoln Level Advantage 2® and Lincoln Level Advantage 2 IncomeSM contracts for the same owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. At the Company’s discretion, this amount may consider total Purchase Payments for all annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant.

Index-Linked Option Details [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Description [Text Block] Indexed AccountsThe Contract offers several Indexed Accounts. We will credit positive, negative or zero interest at the end of an Indexed Term based, in part, on the performance of an Index. This rate of return is the Performance Rate. An Indexed Account is defined by the Index tracked, the length of the Indexed Term, the Crediting Method and the Protection Level or Dual Rate, as applicable, it provides, and whether or not it includes an Annual Lock. An investment in an Indexed Account is not an investment in the Index or in any Index fund. You could lose a significant portion of your investment in an Indexed Segment if the Index declines in value. You are responsible for all losses in excess of the Protection Level or Dual Rate you choose. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will be based on Interim Value and will cause an immediate reduction in your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. You could lose a significant portion of your investment in an Indexed Segment if amounts are removed from the Indexed Segment prior to the end of the Indexed Term. You may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payment into one or more Indexed Accounts. The minimum allocation to an Indexed Account is $2,000; there is no maximum allocation limit. A new Indexed Segment is established upon an allocation to an Indexed Account. Each Indexed Segment may have its own:●Start Date●Crediting Base●Performance Rate●Performance Cap●Performance Trigger Rate●Dual Performance Trigger Rate●Dual Rate●Contract Value●End Date Information regarding each Indexed Account, including 1) its name, 2) its type, 3) its Indexed Term, 4) its Crediting Method, 5) its Protection Method, and 6) its minimum limit on Index gain, is available in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract.Indices. Each Indexed Account references a market index that determines the performance of its associated Indexed Segments. A market index is not a fund; it is unmanaged and is not available for direct investment. We currently offer Indexed Accounts based on the performance of the following securities indices:S&P 500® Price Return Index (SPX). The S&P 500® Index is comprised of 500 stocks considered representative of the overall market. Russell 2000® Price Return Index (RTY). The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 2000® Index. It is considered representative of small capitalization stocks. The prices of small company stocks generally are more volatile than those of large company stocks. Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM (NQCAPSTNF). The Index is comprised of 50 stocks selected based on cash on hand, debt ratios and volatility. The Capital Strength Price Return IndexSM will be reduced by 0.65% to result in the Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM. First Trust American Leadership IndexTM (FTUSLDRS). The First Trust American Leadership IndexTM provides exposure to a selection of U.S. stocks, including companies with a history of paying and raising dividends and others more growth-oriented, representing the largest and most actively traded U.S. stocks in the internet industry. Specifically, the First Trust American Leadership Index provides exposure to U.S. companies driving growth and profitability through internet products and services. The level of the First Trust American Leadership IndexTM incorporates an embedded 0.65% annual fee. The fee is not related to the annuity.S&P 500® Price Return Index (SPX). The S&P 500® Index is comprised of 500 stocks considered representative of the overall market. The Indices used are “price return Indices,” not “total return Indices,” meaning that each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other distributions declared by the companies included in the Index and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. The Indices do not represent a direct investment in the Index. If an Index is discontinued or substantially changes (for example if an Index sponsor announces that it will make a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the Index or in any other way materially modifies the Index), we reserve the right to select an alternative Index and we will notify the Contractowner of such changes. In selecting an alternative Index we will attempt to approximate the performance of the original investment in a commercially reasonable manner in light of relevant market circumstances at the time. Any substitution is subject to approval by the state insurance authorities where the Contract and rider were issued, if required by law. A change to the Index in the middle of a Segment may impact the calculation of the Performance Rate for the Segments. When we notify you of a change to the Index, we will also state how the change will impact your Performance Rate. Investments in new Segments are available on an Indexed Anniversary Date. The bar charts shown below provide each Index’s annual returns for the last 10 calendar years (or for the life of the Index if less than 10 years), as well as the Index returns after applying a hypothetical 5% Performance Cap and a hypothetical 10% Protection Level. The charts illustrate the variability of the returns from year to year and show how hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses may affect these returns. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance. The performance below is NOT the performance of any specific Indexed Account. Your performance under the Contract will differ, perhaps significantly. The performance below may reflect a different return calculation, time period, and limit on Index gains and losses than the Indexed Account. This performance does not reflect any Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value or any Contract fees and charges, which may reduce performance. The S&P 500® Price Return Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. The Russell 2000® Price Return Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. The Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.The Index provider deducts fees and costs when calculating the Index return, which will reduce the Index return and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.The First Trust American Leadership IndexTM is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.

Investments in new Segments are available on an Indexed Anniversary Date.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Period [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Periods [Text Block] The Indexed Term is the specified period of time over which an Index’s performance is measured, subject to applicable limits on Index gains and losses, to determine the amount of positive, negative or zero interest that will be credited to an Indexed Account at the end of the period. 1-Year and 6-Year Indexed Terms are available in this Contract. An Indexed Segment begins on the day your money is allocated to an Indexed Segment, called the Start Date. The yearly anniversary of the Start Date of the initial Indexed Segment is the Indexed Anniversary Date of your Contract. This is the Indexed Anniversary Date for the life of your Contract.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Periods Investor Considerations [Text Block] You may choose to allocate your Purchase Payment to different Indexed Accounts, but all Indexed Segments must begin on the Indexed Anniversary Date. All future Indexed Terms must begin on the same Indexed Anniversary Date. This means you can only allocate to Indexed Accounts one time a year. For example, you may start a 6-Year Indexed Segment, and two years later, you can start a 1-Year Indexed Segment, as long as the 1-Year Indexed Segment begins on the Indexed Anniversary Date for your Contract. If you have more than one 6-Year Indexed Segment in effect at any time, Indexed Terms of the same term length must have the same Start Date.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Amounts Must Remain Until End of Crediting Period [Text Block] Your Contract Value must remain in an Indexed Account until the end of the Indexed Term to be credited with all or partial interest and to avoid a possible Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value, in addition to potential tax consequences.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Transactions Subject to Contract Adjustments [Text Block] This performance does not reflect any Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value or any Contract fees and charges, which may reduce performance.If you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your Contract), reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. For more information, see “Interim Value” later in this section. Lincoln reserves the right to make additional Indexed Account options available or to withdraw currently available Indexed Account options and change the features of an Indexed Account from one Indexed Term to the next, including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses, in the future. Indexed Contract Value. For each Indexed Segment the daily value is determined as follows:a. On the Start Date of the Indexed Segment, the value of the Indexed Segment equals the initial Indexed Crediting Base. The initial Indexed Crediting Base is the amount of Purchase Payment or Contract Value allocated to the Indexed Segment.b. On each Valuation Date during the Indexed Term, the value of the Indexed Segment equals the Interim Value.c. On the last date of the Indexed Term, called the End Date, the value of the Indexed Segment equals the Segment Ending Value.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology [Text Block] Crediting Methods and Protection Methods. Different Crediting Methods and Protection Methods are available for your Indexed Account. Interest is credited for any performance earned or deducted for any loss only on the End Date of a Segment. The Crediting Method you select will limit positive (upside) Index returns credited on the End Date of a Segment and the Protection Method will limit the negative Index returns deducted on the End Date of a Segment. If the End Date is not a Valuation Date, then the amount will be credited or deducted on the next business day. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%.

Index-Linked Option Details, Index Investment Types [Text Block] Protection Methods. For Indexed Accounts with a Protection Level, the Protection Level is the portion of any negative Index performance that will not impact your Contract Value if you remain invested until the End Date of the Indexed Segment. For example, if the Index return is -15% and you have a 10% Protection Level, your Contract Value will not be impacted by the first 10% of negative Index performance and we will deduct 5% at the end of the Indexed Term. Your Contract Value will not be impacted up to the amount of the Protection Level you elect, and, after that, you will be impacted for the remaining portion of the loss. This loss will reduce the amount of your investment (principal) in the Indexed Segments. The Contract offers Indexed Accounts with Protection Levels that protect you against losses of 10% to 25%. If you choose an Indexed Account with Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate and a 10% Protection Level, your Contract Value will not be impacted by the first 10% of negative Index performance if you stay invested until the End Date of the Segment. Any remaining negative percentage will be absorbed by you. If an Indexed Account with Annual Locks is selected, the Protection Level is the percentage of the Index loss that will not impact your Indexed Crediting Base each year during the Indexed Term. The Protection Level is not available on Dual Plus Indexed Accounts, but the Dual Rate itself may provide some protection from Index loss, as discussed below.The following examples illustrate how we calculate and credit interest assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals. For example:Indexed Term Segment Start Date = 1/8/2026
Indexed Account = 1-Year Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level
Index Value at beginning of term = 1,569
Indexed Crediting Base = $100,000
Indexed Term Segment End Date = 1/8/2027
Index Value at End Date = 1,333
Index Value percentage change = -15% ((1,333 – 1,569) / 1569)Indexed Segment Ending Value = $95,000 ($100,000 - $5,000)Because your Contract Value is not impacted by the first 10% of the loss, you only experience a 5% loss (-15% Index Value percentage change + 10% Protection Level = 5% loss) or $100,000 * 5.00% = $5,000.The following year assuming you chose a new 1-Year Segment with a 10% Protection Level:(The Indexed Segment Ending Value is used to establish the Indexed Crediting Base for the new Indexed Segment.)Indexed Term Segment Start Date = 1/8/2027
Indexed Crediting Base = $95,000
Indexed Term Segment End Date = 1/8/2028
Index Value at End Date = 1,298
Index Value percentage change = -3% ((1,298 – 1,333)/1,333)
Indexed Segment Ending Value = $95,000 ($95,000 - $0)Because your Contract Value is not impacted by the first 10% of the loss, you experience no loss of Contract Value for this Segment because the Index Value percentage change was less than the 10% Protection Level.For the Dual Performance Trigger Indexed Accounts, the Protection Level is used to determine the Performance Rate on the End Date of the Segment when there is negative Index performance. If the percentage change in the Index Value is negative but within the Protection Level, the Performance Rate is equal to the Dual Performance Trigger Rate. However, if the percentage change in the Index Value has decreased by a greater percentage than the Protection Level then the amount of your investment in the Indexed Segment may be reduced. The Performance Rate would equal the percentage change in the Index Value, plus the Dual Performance Trigger Rate, plus the Protection Level. The amount of loss or gain is dependent on the percentage change in the Index Value, the Dual Performance Trigger Rate and the Protection Level on the Indexed Segment. The following examples show the Performance Rate(s) based on the percentage change in the Index Value using a 6% Dual Performance Trigger Rate. Dual Plus accounts do not include a Protection Level, but the Dual Rate itself may provide some protection. If Index performance is down, your Performance Rate equals the Index performance plus the Dual Rate which may result in either a negative or positive return. For example, if the Index return is -10% and you have a Dual Rate of 15%, we will credit 5% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term. If the Index return is -20% and you have a Dual Rate of 15%, we will deduct 5% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term. The following examples show the Performance Rate(s) based on the percentage change in the Index Value and using a Dual Rate of 15%.Crediting Method Considerations. We determine Performance Caps, Performance Trigger Rates and Dual Performance Trigger Rates for each new Indexed Segment at our discretion, subject to the guaranteed minimums. We consider a number of factors when declaring Performance Caps, Performance Trigger Rates and Dual Performance Trigger Rates. Generally, we seek to manage our risk associated with our obligations, in part, by trading call and put options and other derivative instruments on the available Indices. The costs of these instruments impact the rates we declare, and those costs can be impacted by the market conditions and forces. We also consider sales commissions, administrative expenses, regulatory and tax requirements, general economic trends and competitive factors. You bear the risk that we may declare lower Performance Caps, Performance Trigger Rates and Dual Performance Trigger Rates for future Indexed Segments, and that such rates could be as low as the guaranteed minimum for that Indexed Account. Rates offered for new Indexed Segments may be different from those offered to new investors or offered to you at Contract issuance. You should choose a Crediting Method that is consistent with your risk tolerance and investment objectives. Generally, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term length, an Indexed Account that provides less potential for Index gains will tend to have more protection from Index losses. Conversely, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term length, an Indexed Account that provides more potential for Index gains will generally tend to have less protection from Index losses. ●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Performance Cap, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate we apply on the Indexed Segment End Date could be less than the actual Index performance. If the actual Index performance is greater than the Performance Cap, your Performance Rate will be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return. ●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Performance Trigger Rate, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate on the Indexed Segment End Date, could be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return. ●If you choose an Indexed Segment with an Annual Lock, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate on the Indexed Segment End Date could be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return.●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate on the Indexed Segment End Date could be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return.●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate we apply on the Indexed Segment End Date could be less than the actual Index performance. If the actual Index performance is greater than the Performance Cap, your Performance Rate will be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return. Protection Method Considerations. We set the limit on Index losses for each Indexed Account at our sole discretion. We consider various factors in determining the limit on Index losses, including the cost of our risk management techniques, sales commissions, administrative expenses, regulatory and tax requirements, general economic trends and competitive factors. You should choose a level of protection that is consistent with your risk tolerance and investment objectives. Generally, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term, an Indexed Account that provides more protection from Index losses will tend to have less potential for Index gains. Conversely, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term, an Indexed Account that provides less protection from Index losses will generally tend to have more potential for Index gains. ●For accounts with a Performance Cap (with the exclusion of Dual Plus), or Performance Trigger Rate, if there is negative Index performance, we absorb the first portion of the negative performance up to the stated percentage and you bear the risk of loss after your chosen Protection Level, including the loss of any previously credited amount. ●For accounts with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, if there is negative Index performance, we absorb the first portion of the negative Index performance up to the stated percentage of the Protection Level. If there is negative Index performance beyond the Protection Level, we continue to absorb the portion of the negative Index performance up to the stated percentage of the Dual Performance Trigger Rate. For example, if the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 5%, we would absorb the first 5% of loss beyond the Protection Level. You bear the risk of loss thereafter, including the loss of any previously credited amount. ●For accounts with a Dual Rate, if the Index performance is negative, your Performance Rate equals the Index performance plus the Dual Rate, which may result in either a negative or positive return. 		                   
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution [Text Block] Discontinuation or Substitution of an Index. We have the right to discontinue or substitute an existing Index for a comparable Index prior to the Indexed Segment End Date for reasons, such as, but not limited to:●An Index is discontinued;●We are engaged in a contractual dispute with the Index provider;●We determine that our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example, changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; ●There is a substantial change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly different values and performance; or●A legal reason we cannot offer the Index.Although we will attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the existing Index, there is risk that the performance of the new Index may not be as good as the performance of the existing Index. As a result, funds allocated to the substituted Index may earn a return that is lower than the return they would have earned if the Index were not substituted. If we substitute an Index, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of the substitution. We would attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the original Index. The selection criteria for a suitable alternative Index includes, but is not limited to, the following:●There is a sufficiently large market in exchange traded and/or over-the-counter options, futures and similar derivative instruments based on the Index to allow the company to hedge crediting rates; ●The Index is recognized as a broad-based Index for the relevant market; ●We can offer the same Crediting Method or Protection Method on the substitute Index; and●The publisher of the Index permits the use of the Index in the Contract and other materials for a reasonable fee.If we substitute an Index during an Indexed Term, we will combine the return of the replaced Index from the Indexed Start Date to the substitution date with the return of the new Index from the substitution date to the end of the Indexed Term. The Indexed Term, and all applicable rates for the affected Indexed Segment, including the Crediting Method or Protection Method will not change due to the substitution of an Index during the Indexed Term.If an Index is discontinued and a similar Index cannot be found or if we cannot offer the same Crediting Method or Protection Method, the Indexed Segment will end and the Interim Value on the Valuation Date the Index is discontinued will be used. Lincoln will move the funds into another available Indexed Segment of our choosing, and the funds will not be eligible for allocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution Circumstances [Text Block] We have the right to discontinue or substitute an existing Index for a comparable Index prior to the Indexed Segment End Date for reasons, such as, but not limited to:●An Index is discontinued;●We are engaged in a contractual dispute with the Index provider;●We determine that our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example, changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; ●There is a substantial change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly different values and performance; or●A legal reason we cannot offer the Index.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution Selection [Text Block] We would attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the original Index.

Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution Notification [Text Block] If we substitute an Index, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of the substitution.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution Calculation [Text Block] If we substitute an Index during an Indexed Term, we will combine the return of the replaced Index from the Indexed Start Date to the substitution date with the return of the new Index from the substitution date to the end of the Indexed Term. The Indexed Term, and all applicable rates for the affected Indexed Segment, including the Crediting Method or Protection Method will not change due to the substitution of an Index during the Indexed Term.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution Without Replacement [Text Block] If an Index is discontinued and a similar Index cannot be found or if we cannot offer the same Crediting Method or Protection Method, the Indexed Segment will end and the Interim Value on the Valuation Date the Index is discontinued will be used. Lincoln will move the funds into another available Indexed Segment of our choosing, and the funds will not be eligible for allocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.                    
Fixed Option Details, Interest Crediting [Line Items]                      
Fixed Option Details, Investor Reallocation [Text Block] Reallocation. You will be notified 25 days prior to each Indexed Anniversary Date regarding the timing of investing in new Indexed Segments. The available Indexed Accounts and applicable Crediting Methods and Protection Methods will be provided at least 5 business days in advance of the Indexed Anniversary Date on your online account or by calling 1-877-737-6872. To view the available Indexed Segments and the applicable rates, log in to your account at www.LincolnFinancial.com and select Account Reallocation under Account Management. Current rates can also be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and are incorporated into this prospectus by reference. If your existing Indexed Segment is at the end of the Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account. If your existing Indexed Segment is at an Indexed Anniversary during the Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Interim Value to any available Indexed Account. A reallocation request must be received on or before the Indexed Anniversary Date or Indexed Term End Date, as applicable. We will hold reallocation instructions for up to 25 calendar days prior to the Indexed Anniversary Date. The reallocation will take place on the Indexed Anniversary Date. If we do not receive a reallocation notice from you, all Indexed Segments that are ending will invest into a new Indexed Segment with the same term, Index, and Protection Method as the Indexed Segment in which they were previously invested and with the Crediting Method rate applicable to a new Indexed Term. If the same type of Indexed Segment is no longer available, the funds will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection, and will not be eligible for allocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date. The following chart outlines possible reallocations among Indexed Accounts at the end of an Indexed Term or as described under Secure Lock+®. Indexed Terms of the same term length must have the same Start Date.

If the same type of Indexed Segment is no longer available, the funds will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection, and will not be eligible for allocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.                    
Item 7. Charges and Adjustments [Line Items]                      
Contract Adjustment [Table Text Block] Contract Adjustments If you make any withdrawals, surrender or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a death benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. You could lose a significant amount of money due to Contract Adjustments based on Interim Values if amounts are removed from an Indexed Segment prior to the Segment End Date. Your Interim Value may be less than the amount invested and may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment in the Indexed Segment until the Segment End Date. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value. The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method as well as Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The use of Interim Values transfers risk from us to you to protect us from losses on our investments supporting the Indexed Crediting Rate strategies if amounts are removed prematurely.For more information about the Interim Value, including examples illustrating the operation of the Interim Values, please see the Statement of Additional Information.If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction in your Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions in your Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term. Once your Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. The Interim Value and Indexed Crediting Base are available on your online account or by calling us at 1-877-737-6872.                    
Contract Adjustment, Applicable Transaction [Text Block] If you make any withdrawals, surrender or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a death benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value.                    
Contract Adjustment, Negative Effect Could be Greater than Value Withdrawn [Text Block] You could lose a significant amount of money due to Contract Adjustments based on Interim Values if amounts are removed from an Indexed Segment prior to the Segment End Date. Your Interim Value may be less than the amount invested and may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment in the Indexed Segment until the Segment End Date. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value.                    
Contract Adjustment, Relationship to Other Charges [Text Block] Once your Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised.                    
Contract Adjustment, Obtaining Current Value of an Adjustment [Text Block] The Interim Value and Indexed Crediting Base are available on your online account or by calling us at 1-877-737-6872.

Item 17. Investment Options [Line Items]                      
Investment Options (N-4) [Text Block] Appendix A — Investment Options Available Under The ContractThe following is a list of Indexed Accounts currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Indexed Accounts listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses), offer new Indexed Accounts, and terminate existing Indexed Accounts. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to the current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at www.lfg.com/llarates. Note: If amounts are removed from an Indexed Account before the end of its Indexed Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value. This may result in significant reduction in your Contract Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you held the Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term. See Indexed Accounts – Interim Value in the prospectus for additional details.

1 The Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. 2 The Index deduct fees and costs when calculating Index performance which will reduce the Index return and cause each Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.Each Indexed Account’s limit on Index losses is guaranteed not to change for as long as that Indexed Account remains available under the Contract. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%. However, we reserve the right to add and remove Indexed Accounts and to offer Indexed Accounts with different Crediting Methods or Protection Methods. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Indexed Term to the next. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses. See Indexed Accounts in the prospectus for additional details.

1 The Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. 2 The Index deduct fees and costs when calculating Index performance which will reduce the Index return and cause each Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.Each Indexed Account’s limit on Index losses is guaranteed not to change for as long as that Indexed Account remains available under the Contract. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%. However, we reserve the right to add and remove Indexed Accounts and to offer Indexed Accounts with different Crediting Methods or Protection Methods. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Indexed Term to the next. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses. See Indexed Accounts in the prospectus for additional details.

*Notification from the Contractowner to receive the Death Benefit proceeds must be received within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant.**Death of Annuitant is treated like death of the Contractowner.If the Contractowner (or a joint owner) or Annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, a Death Benefit may be payable. This Death Benefit terminates on the Annuity Commencement Date. You should consider the following provisions carefully when designating the Beneficiary, Annuitant, any contingent Annuitant and any joint owner, as well as before changing any of these parties. The identity of these parties under the Contract may significantly affect the amount and timing of the Death Benefit or other amount paid upon a Contractowner's or Annuitant's death.You may designate a Beneficiary during your lifetime and change the Beneficiary by filing a written request with our Servicing Office. Each change of Beneficiary revokes any previous designation. We reserve the right to request that you send us the Contract for endorsement of a change of Beneficiary.Upon the death of the Contractowner, a Death Benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary. Upon the death of a joint owner, the Death Benefit will be paid to the surviving joint owner. If the Contractowner is a corporation or other non-individual (non-natural person), the death of the Annuitant will be treated as death of the Contractowner.If an Annuitant who is not the Contractowner or joint owner dies, then the contingent Annuitant, if named, becomes the Annuitant and no Death Benefit is payable on the death of the Annuitant. If no contingent Annuitant is named, the Contractowner (or younger of joint owners) becomes the Annuitant. Alternatively, a Death Benefit may be paid to the Contractowner (and joint owner, if applicable, in equal shares). Notification of the election of this Death Benefit must be received by us within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant. The Contract terminates when any Death Benefit is paid due to the death of the Annuitant.Only the Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the death claim is available as a Death Benefit if a Contractowner, joint owner, or Annuitant was added or changed subsequent to the effective date of this Contract unless the change occurred because of the death of a prior Contractowner, joint owner, or Annuitant. If your Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid.

Calculation Method of Benefit [Text Block] Account Value Death Benefit. The Account Value Death Benefit provides a Death Benefit equal to the Contract Value on the Valuation Date the Death Benefit is approved by us for payment. No additional Death Benefit is provided. For example, assume an initial deposit into the Contract of $25,000. The Contract Value increases and equals $28,000 on the Valuation Date the Death Benefit is approved by us for payment. The amount of Death Benefit paid equals $28,000. There is no charge for this Death Benefit. Advisory fee withdrawals will always reduce the Contract Value on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For example, assume a Contract Value of $10,000, and a deduction of $100 is made for the advisory fee. The amount of your Contract Value is reduced to $9,900.

Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Automatic Withdrawal Service. The automatic withdrawal service (AWS) provides for an automatic periodic withdrawal of your Contract Value. Withdrawals from Indexed Accounts will be at Interim Value unless they coincide with a Segment End Date. See Indexed Accounts – Interim Value. Participating in an AWS may potentially expose you to certain risks. See Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract. Withdrawals under AWS will be noted on your quarterly statement. Confirmation statements for each individual withdrawal will not be issued. Currently, there is no charge for this service. However, we reserve the right to impose one after appropriate notice to Contractowners. In order to take advantage of this service, you will need to complete the appropriate election form that is available online at LincolnFinancial.com or from our Servicing Office. This service will stop once we are notified of a pending death claim. We reserve the right to discontinue this administrative service at any time.                    
LNY Lincoln Level Advantage 2 Advisory | General Death Benefit Information                      
Item 10. Benefits Available [Line Items]                      
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] General Death Benefit InformationYour Death Benefit terminates on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. If there are joint owners, upon the death of the first Contractowner, we will pay a Death Benefit to the surviving joint owner. The surviving joint owner will be treated as the primary, designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. If the surviving joint owner is the spouse of the deceased joint owner, that individual may continue the Contract as sole Contractowner. Upon the death of the spouse who continued the Contract, we will pay the Account Value Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary(s).All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal law. You are strongly encouraged to consult a tax advisor before electing spousal rights under the Contract. The value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim. Approval of payment will occur upon our receipt of a claim submitted in Good Order or one year from the date of the death for nonqualified contracts and December 31st of the year following death for IRAs. To be in Good Order, we require all the following:1.an original certified death certificate, or other proof of death satisfactory to us; and2.written authorization for payment; and3.all required claim forms, fully completed (including selection of a settlement option).Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, the payment of Death Benefits provided under this Contract must be made in compliance with Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable, as amended from time to time. Death Benefits may be taxable. See Federal Tax Matters.Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, one of the following procedures will take place on the death of a Beneficiary:●if any Beneficiary dies before the Contractowner, that Beneficiary’s interest will go to any other Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests; and/or●if no Beneficiary survives the Contractowner, the proceeds will be paid to the Contractowner’s estate.If the Beneficiary is a minor, court documents appointing the guardian/custodian may be required.The Beneficiary may choose the method of payment of the Death Benefit unless the Contractowner has already selected a settlement option. All methods of payment of Death Benefit must comply with Section 72(s) of the Code, or Section 401(a)(9) of the Code for qualified contracts. The Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner of a nonqualified contract must be distributed within five years of the Contractowner’s date of death unless the Beneficiary begins receiving within one year of the Contractowner’s death the distribution in the form of a life annuity or an annuity for a designated period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy and payments must begin within one year of the Contractowner’s date of death. For qualified contracts, the Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner must be distributed within 10 years of the Contractowner's date of death unless the Beneficiary qualifies as an eligible designated beneficiary and begins receiving distributions before December 31st of the year following the year of the Contractowner's death. The eligible designated beneficiary must begin receiving the distributions in the form of annuity not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy. Note: Indexed Accounts cannot be divided into separate contracts when there are multiple beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary chooses a death benefit option other than a lump sum, the existing Indexed Account(s) will need to be surrendered at the Interim Value to be allocated to multiple beneficiaries. New Indexed Accounts can be selected on the new contracts if desired with the currently available features.Upon the death of the Annuitant, Federal tax law requires that an annuity election be made no later than 60 days after we have approved the death claim for payment.The recipient of a Death Benefit may elect to receive payment either in the form of a lump sum settlement or an Annuity Payout. If a lump sum settlement is elected, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of approval by us of the claim subject to the laws, regulations and tax code governing payment of Death Benefits. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Item 2. Overview of the Contract [Line Items]                      
Overview, Investor Could Lose Money Due to Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block] Contract AdjustmentsIf you make any withdrawals, including the deduction of advisory fees, or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be subject to a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value. You could lose a significant amount of money due to Contract Adjustments based on Interim Values if amounts are removed from an Indexed Segment prior to the Segment End Date. Your Interim Value may be less than the amount invested and may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment in the Indexed Segment until the Segment End Date. The Interim Value will generally be negatively affected by increases in the expected volatility of Index prices, interest rate increases, and by poor market performance. All other factors being equal, the Interim Value generally would be lower the earlier a withdrawal or surrender is made in a Term.                    
Overview, Transactions Subject to Contract Adjustments [Text Block] If you make any withdrawals, including the deduction of advisory fees, or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be subject to a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value.                    
Item 3. Key Information [Line Items]                      
Key Information, Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block] If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value, which could be negative, and you could lose up to 100% of your investment due to the Contract Adjustment. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the entire amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more than 100%) if you also make a deduction to pay a third-party advisory fee, or have to pay taxes, and tax penalties. Contract Adjustments are applied to withdrawals, surrenders, reallocations, annuitizations and Death Benefit payments prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term and when Secure Lock+® is exercised.                    
Key Information, Maximum Loss Resulting from Negative Adjustment [Percent] 100.00%                    
Key Information, Example of Maximum Loss Resulting from Negative Adjustment [Text Block] For example, if you allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the entire amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more than 100%) if you also make a deduction to pay a third-party advisory fee, or have to pay taxes, and tax penalties. Contract Adjustments are applied to withdrawals, surrenders, reallocations, annuitizations and Death Benefit payments prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term and when Secure Lock+® is exercised.

Item 4. Fee Table [Line Items]                      
Transactions Subject to Contract Adjustment, Fee Table [Text Block] If you make any withdrawals (including advisory fees), surrender or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method or Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for an Indexed Segment at a time when the Index Value has declined to zero or close to zero.

Index-Linked Option Details, Options Currently Offered [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Investor Could Lose Money Due to Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block] If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will be based on Interim Value and will cause an immediate reduction in your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. You could lose a significant portion of your investment in an Indexed Segment if amounts are removed from the Indexed Segment prior to the end of the Indexed Term.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Maturity [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Other Material Features [Text Block] Interim Value. The Interim Value is a daily value we calculate to provide you with a value of your Indexed Segment after the Start Date and before the End Date of an Indexed Term. The Contract Value for an Indexed Segment is equal to the Interim Value on each Valuation Date except the End Date. The Interim Value is used to calculate amounts available for withdrawal, surrender (including advisory fee deductions, any applicable premium tax or rider fees and charges), reallocation, annuitization or payment of a death claim for each day during an Indexed Term other than the End Date. The Interim Value also is used to determine how much the Indexed Crediting Base will be reduced after a withdrawal. See Surrenders and Withdrawals. Once you reach the End Date of the Indexed Term, there is no Interim Value, and the actual performance will be credited to or deducted from your Indexed Segment based on the Performance Rate associated with the Crediting Methods you have chosen. The Interim Value calculation will vary depending on the Indexed Account selected and whether Secure Lock+® has been elected.The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index.The specifics of the Interim Value calculation are located in the Statement of Additional Information. If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction in your Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions in your Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term. Under extreme conditions a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value. Such loss can occur even if an Index has increased in value. This means your Interim Value could reflect negative performance, even if the Index Value has increased. Once your Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. The Interim Value and Indexed Crediting Base are available on your online account or by calling us at 1-877-737-6872.Refer to the Surrender and Withdrawal section for information about the Interim Value and how surrenders or withdrawals are calculated.

Contract Adjustment, Maximum Potential Loss [Percent] 100.00%                    
Contract Adjustment, Impact of Adjustment on Interest Credited [Text Block] If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction in your Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions in your Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term.                    
Contract Adjustment, Purpose [Text Block] The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method as well as Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The use of Interim Values transfers risk from us to you to protect us from losses on our investments supporting the Indexed Crediting Rate strategies if amounts are removed prematurely.For more information about the Interim Value, including examples illustrating the operation of the Interim Values, please see the Statement of Additional Information.                    
LNY Lincoln Level Advantage 2 Advisory | Interim Value Secure LockPlus                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Maturity [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Other Material Features [Text Block] Secure Lock+®On any Valuation Date, excluding an Indexed Anniversary Date, one time each year between an Indexed Term Start Date and Indexed Term End Date, you may request to lock the Interim Value of any unlocked Indexed Segments (“Secure Lock+®”). You can obtain the current Interim Value by calling 1-877-737-6872 or by logging into your account at www.LincolnFinancial.com. This value fluctuates daily and is calculated at the end of each business day and may be more or less than the value quoted earlier. The Interim Value as calculated as of the close of that Valuation Date will be locked in and once enacted, each singular lock-in is irrevocable. Once locked, the Indexed Segment’s Interim Value will not change until the next Indexed Anniversary Date (except any withdrawal made once the Interim Value is locked will reduce the locked value by the dollar amount of the withdrawal). If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below your Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply and you assume all loss of Indexed Account Value. If you have elected to lock-in and the value of the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase that Contract Year. In addition, Interim Values that have been locked do not earn any interest while locked. Secure Lock+® is not available for Annual Lock or Dual Plus Indexed Accounts. If you request a lock-in of the Interim Value, you are not locking the actual Index performance, since the Interim Value is not based on the value of the Index but the fair market value of the portfolio of investment instruments supporting the Indexed Segment. A request to lock the Interim Value may be made before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i.e. before market close) on any Valuation Date (in order to be processed that Valuation Day), one time between each Contract Year, prior to the Indexed Segment End Date; however, a lock cannot be processed on an Indexed Anniversary Date. You will not know the locked Interim Value until the next Valuation Date. Any request made after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i.e. after market close) or on a day other than a Valuation Date will take effect as of the market close on the following Valuation Date. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of a 1-Year Term Indexed Segment, you will remain in that Indexed Segment and the locked in Interim Value will not change (unless a withdrawal is taken), and no fixed interest will be credited from the date of the lock-in to the Term End Date. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of a 6-Year Term Indexed Segment, you will remain in that Indexed Segment and the locked in Interim Value will not change (unless a withdrawal is taken), and no fixed interest will be credited from the date of the lock-in to the Reset Date. On the next Indexed Anniversary Date (if this is not the End Date of the Segment), we will reset the crediting rate for that Indexed Segment, and reset the beginning Index Value and the Segment’s Crediting Base to its locked Interim Value (reduced by the dollar amount of any applicable withdrawals, taxes, rider fees and charges), and the Interim Value will begin calculating daily again. These reset values are used in calculating the Segment Ending Value on the End Date of the Indexed Term unless another lock-in is requested, in which case a new crediting rate, beginning Index Value, and Crediting Base would be established following that lock-in. The Protection Level percentage associated with the Segment will not change. If the Indexed Anniversary Date after the lock-in is the End Date, then the Segment Ending Value equals the Interim Value (reduced by the dollar amount of any applicable withdrawals, taxes, riders fees and charges). In addition, the Reset Rate may limit a positive Index return if you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. We will reset the Indexed Segment Performance Cap rate, Performance Trigger Rate, or Dual Performance Trigger Rate for the remainder of the Indexed Term following the lock, and these Reset Rates may be lower than the original rates. For example, if the Performance Cap is 4% and you choose to lock in the Interim Value, then on the next Indexed Anniversary date, we could reset the Performance Cap for the remaining Indexed Term to 2%. If the Index return at the end of the Indexed Term is 12%, we will credit 2% in the interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment. Please note: Once your Interim Value is locked in, we will automatically reset your crediting rate on the next Indexed Anniversary Date unless you have elected to reallocate to another available Indexed Account. The Reset Rate will be available online (or by phone) 10 days prior to the Indexed Anniversary date. The minimum Reset Rate is 3.50%. Current Reset Rates can be found at www.lfg.com/RILAresetrates and are incorporated into this prospectus by references. Additionally, to view rates for the available Indexed Accounts, log in to your account at www.LincolnFinancial.com and select Secure Lock+® under Account Management. You should carefully consider whether and when to elect a Secure Lock+® of your Interim Value. A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year during an Indexed Term and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value at the end of the Indexed Term could be less than if you chose not to lock-in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply and you assume all losses of Indexed Account Value.It is possible to utilize the Secure Lock+® feature and lock-in when the Interim Value is down. Careful consideration must be given before choosing to do this since you would be locking in the full decline in the Interim Value without the benefit of the Protection Level. While potential continued losses in the Interim Value would cease until the next Indexed Anniversary Date, the existing losses would be realized with no guarantee that the Segment would experience any future gains to offset this loss. Below are examples of locking in an Interim Value higher than the Crediting Base and lower than the Crediting Base.Locking in an Interim Value Higher than the Crediting Base1/1/2026 Crediting Base is $100,000
4/1/2030 Interim Value is $120,000
4/1/2030 The Contractowner decides to lock-in the $120,000 Interim Value
5/1/2030 Crediting Base is reset to $120,000Locking in an Interim Value Lower than the Crediting Base1/1/2026 Crediting Base is $100,000
4/1/2030 Interim Value is $90,000
4/1/2030 The Contractowner decides to lock-in the $90,000 Interim Value
5/1/2030 Crediting Base is reset to $90,000Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in, and the Reset Rate may be significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. As less time remains in your Indexed Term, you should expect the Reset Rate to be lower, possibly much lower. For example, assuming a 6-year term with a Performance Cap of 300%, if you choose to lock-in three months before the end of the Indexed Term, your rate is based on only two remaining months.

Principal Risk [Text Block] Yes:●You can lose money by investing in the Contract. Your investment in the Indexed Accounts is subject to all losses in excess of the Protection Method or Dual Rate you choose including any loss experienced from a negative Index performance. Under extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested.●An Interim Value is calculated if an early withdrawal is taken. The Interim Value formula may result in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.

Risk [Text Block] No:●This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for the investor who needs ready access to cash. ●Indexed interest will only be credited to an Indexed Account at the end of an Indexed Term. No interest will be credited to funds withdrawn or surrendered before the end of an Indexed Term.●Withdrawals taken prior to the end of an Indexed Term may result in a negative Contract Adjustment based on the Interim Value and loss of positive Index performance. The Interim Value formula may result in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.●Surrenders and withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. ●At the end of an Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Indexed Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account as long as the reallocation request is received on or before the Indexed Anniversary Date. If we do not hear from you by the end of the Indexed Term, we will reallocate your Segment Ending Value into a new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed Term, Index and Protection Method if available. A new rate will apply based on the Indexed Segment you select, subject to the guaranteed minimum rates. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap and 10% Protection Level and will not be eligible for reallocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.

Risk [Text Block] ●An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the Indexed Accounts you choose. Performance can vary depending on the performance of the Indexes linked to the Indexed Accounts. ●Each Indexed Account has its own unique risks and you should review the available Indexed Accounts before making an investment decision.●The Crediting Method you select may limit positive (upside) Index returns. This may result in you earning less than the Index return. For example:●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Cap, and the Index return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 10%, we will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Trigger Rate, and the Index return is 12% and the Performance Trigger Rate is 10%, we will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and the Index return is 12% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and the Index return is 60% and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●A Reset Rate may limit positive Index return if you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Reset Rate is a 2% Performance Cap, we will credit 2% in interest at the end of the end of the Indexed Term. ●While an Indexed Account with Dual Performance Trigger Rate or Dual Plus may provide for a positive Performance Rate even in the event of negative Index performance, there is no guarantee of investment gain. Negative Index performance may result in significant loss. ●The Protection Level will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Protection Level is 10%, we will deduct 15% (the amount that exceeds the Protection Level) at the end of the Indexed Term.●The Dual Rate will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we will deduct 10% at the end of the Indexed Term.●Each Index is a “price return Index”, not a “total return Index”, and does not, therefore, reflect dividends paid on the underlying securities. This will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.●These factors may result in you earning less than the Index return.                    
Index-Linked Option Market Risk [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Risk, No Guaranteed Limit on Index Losses May Lose Entire Investment [Text Block] The Protection Method applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment including Segments with Annual Locks. Each time you move into a new Indexed Segment, you may have a new Protection Level or Dual Rate and are subject to the same risk of loss as described above. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. For Annual Lock accounts, since the gain or loss is established each year, losses can accumulate so that you could actually lose more than the amount in excess of the Protection Level percent. Losses you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market over the Indexed Term, however, your loss could exceed the Protection Level. For example, if you chose a 10% Protection Level and if loss occurred during each Annual Lock period for the remainder of the term, you could lose more than 90% of your principal in an Annual Lock account.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Market Risk. There is a risk of loss of your investment in the Indexed Segments since the performance tracks a market Index. You are responsible for all losses in excess of the Protection Method you choose. Under extreme circumstances, at the end of an Indexed Term, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that will limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested. The Protection Method applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment including Segments with Annual Locks. Each time you move into a new Indexed Segment, you may have a new Protection Level or Dual Rate and are subject to the same risk of loss as described above. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. For Annual Lock accounts, since the gain or loss is established each year, losses can accumulate so that you could actually lose more than the amount in excess of the Protection Level percent. Losses you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market over the Indexed Term, however, your loss could exceed the Protection Level.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Early Withdrawal Risk. This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-term horizon. You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrendering the Contract. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks. If you withdraw Contract Value from an Indexed Account prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term it will be based on the Interim Value of the Indexed Account. Withdrawals include the deduction of advisory fees paid from your Contract Value. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value in an Indexed Segment. Additionally, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction to your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions to your Indexed Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Indexed Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Once your Indexed Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term. Contract Value must remain in an Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term to be credited with all or partial interest unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. To determine the Interim Value, we apply a formula which is not the actual performance of the applicable Index, but rather a determination of the value of hypothetical underlying investments at the time of the Interim Value calculation. This amount could be less than if you had held the Indexed Segment for the full Indexed Term. It also means that you could have a negative performance, even if the value of the Index has increased during the calculation period. All withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your Contract), reallocation of Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitization of your Contract or payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date will be based on the Interim Value.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Indexed Account Risk. Each available Index will expose you to risks associated with equity markets. Equity markets are subject to the risk that the value of the securities may fall due to general market and economic conditions. Market volatility may exist with the Indices, which means that the value of the Indices can change dramatically over a short period of time in either direction. The Indices used are “price return Indices”, not “total return Indices”, meaning that each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other distributions declared by the companies included in the Index and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. We may change the Index on a particular Indexed Account if the Index is discontinued or if we feel the Index is no longer appropriate. This change may occur in the middle of an Indexed Segment and this change may impact how your Indexed Segment performance and Interim Value are calculated. See the Discontinuance or Substitution of an Index section later in the prospectus for more information. If we do not receive investment instructions from you by the end of an Indexed Term, we will invest your Segment Ending Value in a new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed Term, Index, Protection Level, or Dual Rate, as applicable, if available. The Crediting Method for the new Indexed Segment could be less advantageous than the current Indexed Segment because the rate may be different. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection Level. If your Contract Value has been invested in a new Segment and you wish to withdraw your investment, the Contract Value for that Segment will equal the Interim Value.Investors in an Indexed Account have no rights in the linked Index. You will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other rights that shareholders who invest in mutual funds based on these Indices would have.Additional risks for specific Indices are as follows: ●S&P 500® Price Return Index: This Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Russell 2000® Price Return Index: Compared to mid-and large-capitalization companies, small-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and their securities may be more volatile and less liquid.●Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM: This Index has fewer stocks than broad based indices; therefore, the risk is spread between fewer equity securities. This Index may not track other large cap indices.●First Trust American Leadership IndexTM: In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Nasdaq-100 Index®: This large-cap growth index is comprised of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. This index is comprised of industries such as technology, consumer services, and health care. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.                    
Index-Linked Option Risk [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Risk, Investor Could Lose Money Despite Limits on Negative Returns [Text Block] The Protection Method that is applicable to an Indexed Account only provides you with limited protection from negative Index performance at the end of an Indexed Term, or, in the case of Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, each Contract Year during the Indexed Segment. You could lose a significant amount of your Purchase Payment and/or prior earnings under the Contract despite these limits on negative Index returns. You also bear the risk that continued negative Index returns may result in zero or a negative Performance Rate being credited to your Contract Value over multiple strategy periods. Given that the Protection Method applies to a single Indexed Term, if an Indexed Account is credited with a negative Performance Rate for multiple Indexed Terms, the cumulative loss may exceed any single Indexed Term’s stated Protection Method. Similarly, if you select an Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, the Protection Level will apply each Contract Year during an Indexed Term, so if the Index has negative performance for multiple Contract Years during the Indexed Term, the cumulative loss reflected in the Performance Rate at the end of the Indexed Term may exceed any single Contract Year’s stated Protection Level. The Protection Method does not apply to your Interim Value, so in order to receive the full protection you must hold your investment until the end of the Indexed Term.

A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year per Indexed Segment and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value could be less than if you chose not to lock- in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply, and you assume all loss. If you have elected to lock-in and the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase. Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in and the Reset Rate may be lower, significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. Secure Lock+® is not available with all Indexed Accounts. Refer to the “Secure Lock+®” section for additional details and examples.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Risks Associated with Crediting Methods and Protection Methods. The available Indexed Accounts with applicable Crediting Methods and Protection Methods will vary over time. Before investing in a new Indexed Segment, you should determine exactly what Indexed Accounts, Protection Methods, and Crediting Methods are available to you. There is no guarantee that more than one Indexed Account will be available in the future. You risk the possibility that you would find declared caps and rates unacceptable (i.e. could be lower than what were available at the time your Contract was issued), so you should make sure the Segment(s) you select is appropriate for your investment goals.●The Protection Method that is applicable to an Indexed Account only provides you with limited protection from negative Index performance at the end of an Indexed Term, or, in the case of Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, each Contract Year during the Indexed Segment. You could lose a significant amount of your Purchase Payment and/or prior earnings under the Contract despite these limits on negative Index returns. You also bear the risk that continued negative Index returns may result in zero or a negative Performance Rate being credited to your Contract Value over multiple strategy periods. Given that the Protection Method applies to a single Indexed Term, if an Indexed Account is credited with a negative Performance Rate for multiple Indexed Terms, the cumulative loss may exceed any single Indexed Term’s stated Protection Method. Similarly, if you select an Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, the Protection Level will apply each Contract Year during an Indexed Term, so if the Index has negative performance for multiple Contract Years during the Indexed Term, the cumulative loss reflected in the Performance Rate at the end of the Indexed Term may exceed any single Contract Year’s stated Protection Level. The Protection Method does not apply to your Interim Value, so in order to receive the full protection you must hold your investment until the end of the Indexed Term.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Caps. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Trigger Rate. If the performance of the Index is zero or positive, a specified rate is used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return may be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term on the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Trigger Rates. Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Dual Performance Trigger Rate. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate is used in determining the Segment Ending Value. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Dual Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Dual Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Dual Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for the other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Dual Plus Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or other Contracts issued at different times.●For Indexed Accounts without an Annual Lock, the indexed performance credited to or deducted from your Indexed Segment is determined on the last day of the Indexed Term. It is not affected by the price of the Index on any date in between the effective date of the Indexed Account and the End Date of the Indexed Term. Annual Lock accounts are not affected by Index prices between the Annual Lock anniversaries.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers to conduct our business. As such, our business is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and business interruption risks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data; interference with or denial of service; attacks on websites or systems; operational disruptions; and unauthorized release of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks affecting us, any third-party administrators, underlying funds, index providers, intermediaries, and service providers may adversely affect us and/or your Contract. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including order processing; impact our ability to calculate Contract values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; and/or subject us to regulatory fines, litigation, financial losses or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that systems disruptions, cyberattacks and information security breaches will always be detected, prevented, or avoided in the future. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts. Any such disasters could interfere with our business and our ability to administer the Contract. For example, they could lead to delays in our processing of Contract transactions, including orders from Contractowners, or could negatively impact our ability to calculate Contract values. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value.

Principal Risk [Text Block] Purchase Payment Risk. We do not accept additional Purchase Payments after the Contract has been issued to you. Accordingly, you will be unable to increase your Contract Value or Death Benefit by making subsequent Purchase Payments. You should carefully consider the amount of your Purchase Payment when purchasing the Contract and whether to take a withdrawal under the Contract. The reduction of Contract Value as a result of a withdrawal may not be offset by gains as a result of positive performance of your investment selections.You must obtain our approval for a Purchase Payment totaling $1 million or more. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all existing Lincoln Level Advantage®, Lincoln Level Advantage 2® and Lincoln Level Advantage 2 IncomeSM contracts for the same owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. At the Company’s discretion, this amount may consider total Purchase Payments for all annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant.

Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology Example [Text Block] Indexed Segments with Performance Caps, No Annual Locks. The Performance Cap is the maximum Performance Rate that can be credited to the Indexed Segment for an Indexed Term for which it is declared. For example, if the Index return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%. The Performance Cap may vary depending on the Index, the Indexed Term length, and the Protection Level. Typically, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Caps. The initial Performance Cap applies to the initial Indexed Term. The Company will declare, at its discretion, a Performance Cap for each subsequent Indexed Term. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times. If no Performance Cap is declared for an Indexed Term, there is no maximum Performance Rate for that Indexed Term. In no event will a Performance Cap be lower than what is shown in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract. Information about current Performance Caps can be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and is incorporated into this prospectus by reference. The Performance Rate is the percentage change in the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date, adjusted by the Protection Level and subject to the Performance Cap. The Performance Rate can be positive, negative or zero. The percentage change in the Index Value is calculated by subtracting the Index Value on the Start Date from the Index Value on the End Date, and the difference is divided by the Index Value on the Start Date. The daily Index Value is posted on the Index’s website. If an Index Value is not published for a particular day, we will use the Index Value at the close of the next Valuation Date the Index Value is published. If your Indexed Account has a Performance Cap and the percentage change of the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date is positive and equal to or greater than the Performance Cap, then the Performance Rate equals the Performance Cap. If the percentage change is zero or positive and less than the Performance Cap, the Performance Rate equals the percentage change of the Index Value. If you have a Protection Level and the percentage change in the Index Value is less than zero, then the Performance Rate is the lesser of 1) 0%, or 2) the percentage change in the Index Value plus the Protection Level. The amount credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment is equal to the Performance Rate multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date. This will be used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Indexed Crediting Base is the amount you have allocated to the Indexed Segment, less any withdrawals during the Indexed Term deducted proportionately by the amount that the withdrawal reduced the Interim Value (described later in the Interim Value section). Withdrawals include any applicable premium tax or rider fees and charges. The Performance Rate is used to determine the value credited after all adjustments. If the Performance Rate is positive, the value of your Indexed Segment will increase. If the Performance Rate is negative (after calculation including the Protection Level), the value of your Indexed Segment is reduced. If the Performance Rate is zero, the value of your Indexed Segment will not change. The following examples illustrate how we calculate the Performance Rate assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals. The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Accounts on the End Date, and to calculate the Interim Value. This amount is not available for surrender, withdrawal, reallocation, annuitization or as a Death Benefit. If Secure Lock+® has been elected, see the Secure Lock+® section below for additional information.

Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology Example [Text Block] Indexed Segments with Dual Plus. The Dual Plus Indexed Accounts offer a Dual Rate and Performance Cap for an Indexed Segment that we declare at the beginning of the Indexed Term that are both used in determining the Segment Ending Value. The Performance Cap is the maximum Performance Rate that can be credited to the Indexed Segment for an Indexed Term for which it is declared. For example, if the Index return is 60%, and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 50%. The Performance Cap may vary depending on the Index and the Indexed Term length. The Performance Cap will not change during the Indexed Term. The Dual Rate will not vary depending on the Index or the Indexed Term length and will not change from one Indexed Term to the next. Typically, Indexed Segments with Dual Rates have higher Performance Caps. The initial Performance Cap applies to the initial Indexed Term.

If the Performance Rate is negative, the value of your Indexed Segment is reduced.The amount credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment, is equal to the Performance Rate multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date. This will be used to determine the Segment Ending Value as set forth below. The Indexed Crediting Base is the amount that you have allocated to the Indexed Segment, less any transfers or withdrawals during the Indexed Term deducted proportionately by the amount that the transfer or withdrawal reduced the Interim Value. Withdrawals include any applicable premium tax, or rider fees and charges. The Performance Rate is used to determine the value credited after all adjustments.The Performance Rate is the percentage change in the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date, adjusted by the Dual Rate and Performance Cap Rate. The percentage change is calculated by subtracting the Index Value as of the beginning of the Indexed Term from the Index Value at the end of the Indexed Term. The difference is then divided by the Index Value as of the beginning of the Indexed Term. The Segment Ending Value on the End Date is equal to the sum of A plus (A multiplied by B) where:A = the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date and B = the Performance Rate.The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Accounts on the End Date and to calculate the Interim Value.

The performance will NOT be credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment, however, until the End Date of the Indexed Term (at the end of the 6th year). The amount of the performance credited or deducted from the Indexed Segment on the End Date equals the sum of the annual performance amounts on each Indexed Anniversary Date, adjusted for any withdrawals, transfers, or annuitization. On the first Indexed Anniversary Date, the performance equals the Performance Rate change multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base. This performance amount is added to or deducted from the Indexed Crediting Base. This adjusted Indexed Crediting Base becomes the Indexed Crediting Base for the next one-year period. On each Indexed Anniversary Date thereafter, the return for the year is credited to or deducted from the Indexed Crediting Base and the adjusted Indexed Crediting Base carries over to the next one-year period. As a result, a loss you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market, you could lose in excess of the applicable Protection Level. For example, if the Protection Level is 10%, in a continuing down market, you could lose more than 90% of your investment. On the other hand, a gain you incur in one year will increase the Indexed Crediting Base for the next year, upon which future gains (if any) will be calculated. The Segment Ending Value will equal the value of the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date (after the adjustment for performance on the last Indexed Anniversary Date).The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Segments on the Indexed Anniversary Date and to calculate the Interim Value. This amount is not available for surrender, withdrawal, transfer, annuitization or as a Death Benefit. In addition to the Indexed Crediting Base adjustment for performance, withdrawals and transfers reduce the Indexed Crediting Base in the same proportion that withdrawals and transfers reduce the Interim Value.The initial Performance Cap applies to the initial Indexed Term. The Company will declare, at its discretion, a Performance Cap for each subsequent Indexed Term. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times. If no Performance Cap is declared for an Indexed Term, there is no maximum Performance Rate for that Indexed Term. In no event will a Performance Cap be lower than what is shown in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract. Information about current Performance Caps can be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and is incorporated in this prospectus by reference. The following examples illustrate how we calculate the Performance Rate assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals. Indexed Term Segment Start Date = 1/8/2026
Indexed Account = 6-Year with Annual Locks with a 10% annual Performance Cap and 10% Protection Level

Note: The Segment Ending Value is $131,865. The $31,865 (the sum of the values on each Index Anniversary) is not credited to your Contract Value until the end of the 6-year Indexed Term. Until the end of the Indexed Term, with an Annual Lock account, the Interim Value calculation applies. The anniversary amounts are not available to you and are used only for calculation purposes as the Indexed Crediting Base for the next year. Depending on market conditions, Performance Caps on subsequent 6-year Indexed Terms with Annual Locks may be higher or lower than the initial Performance Cap. The Company will determine new Performance Caps on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of contracts.

Item 2. Overview of the Contract [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Overview, Credits are Based in Part on Index Performance [Text Block] The Crediting Method you select determines the Performance Rate for an Indexed Segment. Any applicable Crediting Method may limit the positive Index return used in calculating interest on the End Date of an Indexed Segment. Each Indexed Account will have either: i)a specified Performance Cap, which is the highest Performance Rate that we will credit. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Performance Cap is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%;ii)a Performance Trigger Rate that provides a specified rate of return if the performance of the Index is zero or positive. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Performance Trigger Rate is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%. Alternatively, if the Index return is 1%, and the Performance Trigger Rate is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%;iii)a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, which will either provide a specific rate of return if the Index performance is positive, zero or negative within the Protection Level or be added to the Index performance and the Protection Level if the Index performance is negative and beyond the Protection Level. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 8%; if the Index return is 2% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 8%; oriv)a Dual Rate, which will either provide a minimum rate of return if the Index performance is between zero and the Dual Rate, or will be added to the Index performance if the Index performance is negative. An Index Account with a Dual Rate will also have a Performance Cap, which is the highest Performance Rate that we will credit if the Index performance exceeds the Dual Rate. For example, if the Index return is 60%, and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 50%; if the Index return is 4% and the Performance Cap is 50% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we will credit 15% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, your Segment Ending Value will increase by 15%.In addition, the Reset Rate may limit a positive Index return if you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. We will reset the Indexed Segment Performance Cap rate, Performance Trigger Rate, or Dual Performance Trigger Rate for the remainder of the Indexed Term following the lock, and these Reset Rates may be lower than the original rates. For example, if the Performance Cap is 4% and you choose to lock in the Interim Value, then on the next Indexed Anniversary Date, we could reset the Performance Cap for the remaining Indexed Terms to 2%. If the Index return is 12%, we will credit 2% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment. We guarantee a minimum declared crediting rate for each Indexed Account. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%.                    
Index-Linked Option Overview, Investor Could Lose Money if Index Declines [Text Block] You could lose a significant portion of your investment if the Index declines in value.                    
Index-Linked Option Overview, Guaranteed Minimum Limit on Index Losses [Text Block] We guarantee a minimum declared crediting rate for each Indexed Account. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%.                    
Index-Linked Option Overview, Limiting Index Losses is not Guaranteed to be Offered [Text Block] We will always make at least one Indexed Account available under this Contract, but we do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses.

FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Location in
Prospectus
Are There Charges or
Adjustments for Early
Withdrawals?
Yes:
A surrender charge may apply to a surrender or withdrawal of a
Purchase Payment prior to the 6th anniversary since the Purchase
Payment was invested, up to 7% of the amount withdrawn, declining to
0% over that time period. For example, if you make a withdrawal of
$100,000 during the first year after your Purchase Payment, you could
be assessed a charge of up to $7,000 on the Purchase Payment
withdrawn. A surrender charge will not apply if your surrender or
withdrawal is made after the 6th anniversary since a Purchase Payment
was invested. This loss will be greater if there is a negative Contract
Adjustment based on Interim Values, taxes, or tax penalties.
If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed
Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value,
which could be negative, and you could lose up to 100% of your
investment due to the Contract Adjustment. For example, if you
allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the entire
amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose up to
$100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more
than 100%) if you also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes, and tax
penalties. Contract Adjustments are applied to withdrawals, surrenders,
reallocations, annuitizations and Death Benefit payments prior to the
End Date of an Indexed Term and when a Secure Lock+® is exercised.

Yes. There is an implicit ongoing fee on Indexed Accounts to the extent
that your participation in Index gains is limited by the Company
through the use of a Performance Cap, Performance Trigger Rate, Dual

may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit
on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
Additionally, in certain cases your Contract Value may be subject to a

RISKS
Location in
Prospectus
Is There a Risk of Loss
From Poor Performance?
Yes:
●You can lose money by investing in the Contract. Your investment in
the Indexed Accounts is subject to all losses in excess of the
Protection Method or Dual Rate you choose including any loss
experienced from a negative Index performance. Under extreme
circumstances, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an
Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate,
up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15%
Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment
in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to
75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25%
Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will
always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses, which
would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested.
●An Interim Value is calculated if an early withdrawal is taken. The
Interim Value formula may result in a loss even if the Index Value at
the time of the withdrawal is higher than the Index Value at the
beginning of the Indexed Term.
●Principal Risks of
Investing in the
Contract
Is This a Short-Term
Investment?
No:
●This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not
appropriate for the investor who needs ready access to cash.
●Indexed interest will only be credited to an Indexed Account at the
end of an Indexed Term. No interest will be credited to funds
withdrawn or surrendered before the end of an Indexed Term.
●Withdrawals taken prior to the end of an Indexed Term may result in
a negative Contract Adjustment based on the Interim Value and loss
of positive Index performance. The Interim Value formula may result
in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is
higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.
●A surrender or withdrawal may result in surrender charges. Any
surrender charge will reduce the Contract Value or the amount of
money that you actually receive.
●Surrenders and withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and
may be subject to tax penalties.
●At the end of an Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Indexed
Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account as long as
the reallocation request is received on or before the Indexed
Anniversary Date. If we do not hear from you by the end of the
Indexed Term, we will reallocate your Segment Ending Value into a
new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed
Term, Index and Protection Method if available. A new rate will apply
based on the Indexed Segment you select, subject to the guaranteed
minimum rates. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not
available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year
S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap and 10%
Protection Level and will not be eligible for reallocation into another
Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.

What are the Risks
Associated
With the Investment
Options?
●An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor
investment performance of the Indexed Accounts you choose.
Performance can vary depending on the performance of the Indexes
linked to the Indexed Accounts.
●Each Indexed Account has its own unique risks and you should
review the available Indexed Accounts before making an investment
decision.
●The Crediting Method you select may limit positive (upside) Index
returns. This may result in you earning less than the Index return.
For example:
●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Cap, and the Index
return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 10%, we will credit
10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Trigger Rate, and the
Index return is 12% and the Performance Trigger Rate is 10%, we
will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and
the Index return is 12% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is
8%, we will credit 8% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and
the Index return is 60% and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will
credit 50% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.
●A Reset Rate may limit positive Index return if you choose to lock
the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. For
example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Reset Rate is a 2%
Performance Cap, we will credit 2% in interest at the end of the end
of the Indexed Term.
●While an Indexed Account with Dual Performance Trigger Rate or
Dual Plus may provide for a positive Performance Rate even in the
event of negative Index performance, there is no guarantee of
investment gain. Negative Index performance may result in
significant loss.
●The Protection Level will limit negative (downside) Index returns.
For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Protection Level is
10%, we will deduct 15% (the amount that exceeds the Protection
Level) at the end of the Indexed Term.
●The Dual Rate will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For
example, if the Index return is -25% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we
will deduct 10% at the end of the Indexed Term.
●Each Index is a “price return Index”, not a “total return Index”, and
does not, therefore, reflect dividends paid on the underlying
securities. This will cause the Index to underperform a direct
investment in the securities composing the Index.
●These factors may result in you earning less than the Index
return.

Index-Linked Option Key Information, No Guaranteed Limit on Index Losses May Lose Entire Investment, Risk [Text Block] You can lose money by investing in the Contract. Your investment in the Indexed Accounts is subject to all losses in excess of the Protection Method or Dual Rate you choose including any loss experienced from a negative Index performance. Under extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested.●An Interim Value is calculated if an early withdrawal is taken.

Index-Linked Option Key Information, Limits Positive Index Returns, Risk [Text Block] An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the Indexed Accounts you choose. Performance can vary depending on the performance of the Indexes linked to the Indexed Accounts. ●Each Indexed Account has its own unique risks and you should review the available Indexed Accounts before making an investment decision.                    
Index-Linked Option Key Information, Example of Limiting the Negative Return Risk [Text Block] The Protection Level will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Protection Level is 10%, we will deduct 15% (the amount that exceeds the Protection Level) at the end of the Indexed Term.

Index-Linked Option Key Information, Price Return Index Underperforms Direct Investments, Risk [Text Block] These factors may result in you earning less than the Index return.                    
Investment Restrictions [Text Block] Yes:●You cannot reallocate from an Indexed Account to another Indexed Account except on an Indexed Anniversary. If you reallocate from an Indexed Account on an Indexed Anniversary that is not the End Date of the Indexed Term, any such reallocation will be based on the Interim Value of the Indexed Account (or the value locked-in through previous exercise of Secure Lock+®). ●All Indexed Segments must begin on the Indexed Anniversary Date. All future Indexed Terms must begin on the same Indexed Anniversary Date. This means that after the initial Indexed Segment is created you can only make reallocations of Contract Value to the Indexed Accounts one time a year. If you have more than one 6-Year Term Indexed Segment in effect at any time, Indexed Terms of the same Indexed Term length must have the same Start Date. ●We determine and provide the available Indexed Accounts and applicable rates for the Crediting Methods of each Indexed Segment at least 5 business days in advance of the Indexed Anniversary Date. We may not offer new Indexed Segments for the Indexed Accounts or we may change the features of an Indexed Account from one Indexed Term to the next, including the Index and current limits on Index gains and losses (subject to any minimum guarantees). Therefore, an Indexed Account may not be available for you to reallocate your Contract Value on an Indexed Anniversary Date. ●We have the right to substitute an alternative Index prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term if an Index is discontinued; we are engaged in a contractual dispute with the Index provider; we determine that our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example, changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; there is a substantial change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly different values and performance; or for a legal reason we cannot offer the Index. If we substitute an Index for an existing Indexed Segment, we will not change the Crediting Method or Protection Method for the Indexed Term. We will attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the existing Index.

1If you make any withdrawals, surrender or terminate your Contract), reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method or Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for an Indexed Segment at a time when the Index Value has declined to zero or close to zero.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block] Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract This section describes potential risks associated with the Contract.Market Risk. There is a risk of loss of your investment in the Indexed Segments since the performance tracks a market Index. You are responsible for all losses in excess of the Protection Method you choose. Under extreme circumstances, at the end of an Indexed Term, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that will limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested. The Protection Method applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment including Segments with Annual Locks. Each time you move into a new Indexed Segment, you may have a new Protection Level or Dual Rate and are subject to the same risk of loss as described above. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. For Annual Lock accounts, since the gain or loss is established each year, losses can accumulate so that you could actually lose more than the amount in excess of the Protection Level percent. Losses you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market over the Indexed Term, however, your loss could exceed the Protection Level. For example, if you chose a 10% Protection Level and if loss occurred during each Annual Lock period for the remainder of the term, you could lose more than 90% of your principal in an Annual Lock account.Early Withdrawal Risk. This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-term horizon. You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrendering the Contract. You may incur a surrender charge upon the surrender or withdrawal of Contract Value. See Charges and Adjustments – Surrender Charge. If you take a withdrawal or surrender the Contract, any applicable surrender charges will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you ultimately receive. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks. If you withdraw Contract Value from an Indexed Account prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term it will be based on the Interim Value of the Indexed Account. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value in an Indexed Segment. Additionally, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction to your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions to your Indexed Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Indexed Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Once your Indexed Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term. Contract Value must remain in an Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term to be credited with all or partial interest unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. To determine the Interim Value, we apply a formula which is not the actual performance of the applicable Index, but rather a determination of the value of hypothetical underlying investments at the time of the Interim Value calculation. This amount could be less than if you had held the Indexed Segment for the full Indexed Term. It also means that you could have a negative performance, even if the value of the Index has increased during the calculation period. All withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your Contract), reallocation of Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitization of your Contract or payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date will be based on the Interim Value. Indexed Account Risk. Each available Index will expose you to risks associated with equity markets. Equity markets are subject to the risk that the value of the securities may fall due to general market and economic conditions. Market volatility may exist with the Indices, which means that the value of the Indices can change dramatically over a short period of time in either direction. The Indices used are “price return Indices”, not “total return Indices”, meaning that each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other distributions declared by the companies included in the Index and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. We may change the Index on a particular Indexed Account if the Index is discontinued or if we feel the Index is no longer appropriate. This change may occur in the middle of an Indexed Segment and this change may impact how your Indexed Segment performance and Interim Value are calculated. See the Discontinuance or Substitution of an Index section later in the prospectus for more information. If we do not receive investment instructions from you by the end of an Indexed Term, we will invest your Segment Ending Value in a new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed Term, Index, Protection Level, or Dual Rate, as applicable, if available. The Crediting Method for the new Indexed Segment could be less advantageous than the current Indexed Segment because the rate may be different. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection Level. If your Contract Value has been invested in a new Segment and you wish to withdraw your investment, the Contract Value for that Segment will equal the Interim Value.Investors in an Indexed Account have no rights in the linked Index. You will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other rights that shareholders who invest in mutual funds based on these Indices would have.Additional risks for specific Indices are as follows: ●S&P 500® Price Return Index: This Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Russell 2000® Price Return Index: Compared to mid-and large-capitalization companies, small-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and their securities may be more volatile and less liquid.●Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM: This Index has fewer stocks than broad based indices; therefore, the risk is spread between fewer equity securities. This Index may not track other large cap indices.●First Trust American Leadership IndexTM: In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Nasdaq-100 Index®: This large-cap growth index is comprised of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. This index is comprised of industries such as technology, consumer services, and health care. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.Risks Associated with Crediting Methods and Protection Methods. The available Indexed Accounts with applicable Crediting Methods and Protection Methods will vary over time. Before investing in a new Indexed Segment, you should determine exactly what Indexed Accounts, Protection Methods, and Crediting Methods are available to you. There is no guarantee that more than one Indexed Account will be available in the future. You risk the possibility that you would find declared caps and rates unacceptable (i.e. could be lower than what were available at the time your Contract was issued), so you should make sure the Segment(s) you select is appropriate for your investment goals.●The Protection Method that is applicable to an Indexed Account only provides you with limited protection from negative Index performance at the end of an Indexed Term, or, in the case of Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, each Contract Year during the Indexed Segment. You could lose a significant amount of your Purchase Payment and/or prior earnings under the Contract despite these limits on negative Index returns. You also bear the risk that continued negative Index returns may result in zero or a negative Performance Rate being credited to your Contract Value over multiple strategy periods. Given that the Protection Method applies to a single Indexed Term, if an Indexed Account is credited with a negative Performance Rate for multiple Indexed Terms, the cumulative loss may exceed any single Indexed Term’s stated Protection Method. Similarly, if you select an Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, the Protection Level will apply each Contract Year during an Indexed Term, so if the Index has negative performance for multiple Contract Years during the Indexed Term, the cumulative loss reflected in the Performance Rate at the end of the Indexed Term may exceed any single Contract Year’s stated Protection Level. The Protection Method does not apply to your Interim Value, so in order to receive the full protection you must hold your investment until the end of the Indexed Term.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Caps. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Trigger Rate. If the performance of the Index is zero or positive, a specified rate is used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return may be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term on the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Trigger Rates. Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Dual Performance Trigger Rate. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate is used in determining the Segment Ending Value. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Dual Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Dual Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Dual Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for the other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Dual Plus Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or other Contracts issued at different times.●For Indexed Accounts without an Annual Lock, the indexed performance credited to or deducted from your Indexed Segment is determined on the last day of the Indexed Term. It is not affected by the price of the Index on any date in between the effective date of the Indexed Account and the End Date of the Indexed Term. Annual Lock accounts are not affected by Index prices between the Annual Lock anniversaries. Risks Associated with Secure Lock+®You should carefully consider whether and when to elect a Secure Lock+® of your Interim Value. A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year per Indexed Segment and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value could be less than if you chose not to lock- in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply, and you assume all loss. If you have elected to lock-in and the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase. Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in and the Reset Rate may be lower, significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. Secure Lock+® is not available with all Indexed Accounts. Refer to the “Secure Lock+®” section for additional details and examples.Insurance Company Risk●An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to us, Lincoln New York. Any obligations, guarantees, or benefits of the Contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.●Your receipt of funds invested in the Indexed Segments is based on the claims paying ability of Lincoln New York. You have no ownership rights in the underlying securities. The assets backing the Indexed Accounts are not segregated from other business of Lincoln New York.Contract Changes Risk●We reserve the right, within the law, to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the Indexed Accounts at our discretion and without your consent. We may add to or delete Indexed Accounts currently available. We do not guarantee that more than one Indexed Account option will always be available.●You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrender under the Contract. If you take a withdrawal or surrender the Contract, any applicable surrender charges will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you ultimately receive. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks.●You may incur a surrender charge upon the surrender or withdrawal of Contract Value. See Charges and Adjustments – Surrender Charge.●You should carefully consider whether and when to elect a Secure Lock+® of your Interim Value. A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year per Indexed Segment and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value could be less than if you chose not to lock-in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply and you assume all loss. If you have elected to lock-in and the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase that Contract Year. Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in and the Reset Rate may be lower, significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. Secure Lock+® is not available with all Indexed Accounts. Refer to the “Secure Lock+®” section for additional details and examples.Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers to conduct our business. As such, our business is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and business interruption risks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data; interference with or denial of service; attacks on websites or systems; operational disruptions; and unauthorized release of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks affecting us, any third-party administrators, underlying funds, index providers, intermediaries, and service providers may adversely affect us and/or your Contract. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including order processing; impact our ability to calculate Contract values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; and/or subject us to regulatory fines, litigation, financial losses or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that systems disruptions, cyberattacks and information security breaches will always be detected, prevented, or avoided in the future. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts. Any such disasters could interfere with our business and our ability to administer the Contract. For example, they could lead to delays in our processing of Contract transactions, including orders from Contractowners, or could negatively impact our ability to calculate Contract values. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters will always be avoided.Purchase Payment Risk. We do not accept additional Purchase Payments after the Contract has been issued to you. Accordingly, you will be unable to increase your Contract Value or Death Benefit by making subsequent Purchase Payments. You should carefully consider the amount of your Purchase Payment when purchasing the Contract and whether to take a withdrawal under the Contract. The reduction of Contract Value as a result of a withdrawal, including any applicable surrender charges, may not be offset by gains as a result of positive performance of your investment selections.You must obtain our approval for a Purchase Payment totaling $1 million or more. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all existing Lincoln Level Advantage®, Lincoln Level Advantage 2® and Lincoln Level Advantage 2 IncomeSM contracts for the same owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. At the Company’s discretion, this amount may consider total Purchase Payments for all annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant.

Index-Linked Option Details [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Description [Text Block] Indexed AccountsThe Contract offers several Indexed Accounts. We will credit positive, negative or zero interest at the end of an Indexed Term based, in part, on the performance of an Index. This rate of return is the Performance Rate. An Indexed Account is defined by the Index tracked, the length of the Indexed Term, the Crediting Method and the Protection Level or Dual Rate, as applicable, it provides, and whether or not it includes an Annual Lock. An investment in an Indexed Account is not an investment in the Index or in any Index fund. You could lose a significant portion of your investment in an Indexed Segment if the Index declines in value. You are responsible for all losses in excess of the Protection Level or Dual Rate you choose. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will be based on Interim Value and will cause an immediate reduction in your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. You could lose a significant portion of your investment in an Indexed Segment if amounts are removed from the Indexed Segment prior to the end of the Indexed Term. You may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payment into one or more Indexed Accounts. The minimum allocation to an Indexed Account is $2,000; there is no maximum allocation limit. A new Indexed Segment is established upon an allocation to an Indexed Account. Each Indexed Segment may have its own:●Start Date●Crediting Base●Performance Rate●Performance Cap●Performance Trigger Rate●Dual Performance Trigger Rate●Dual Rate●Contract Value●End Date Information regarding each Indexed Account, including 1) its name, 2) its type, 3) its Indexed Term, 4) its Crediting Method, 5) its Protection Method, and 6) its minimum limit on Index gain, is available in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract.Indices. Each Indexed Account references a market index that determines the performance of its associated Indexed Segments. A market index is not a fund; it is unmanaged and is not available for direct investment. We currently offer Indexed Accounts based on the performance of the following securities indices:S&P 500® Price Return Index (SPX). The S&P 500® Index is comprised of 500 stocks considered representative of the overall market. Russell 2000® Price Return Index (RTY). The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 2000® Index. It is considered representative of small capitalization stocks. The prices of small company stocks generally are more volatile than those of large company stocks. Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM (NQCAPSTNF). The Index is comprised of 50 stocks selected based on cash on hand, debt ratios and volatility. The Capital Strength Price Return IndexSM will be reduced by 0.65% to result in the Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM. First Trust American Leadership IndexTM (FTUSLDRS). The First Trust American Leadership IndexTM provides exposure to a selection of U.S. stocks, including companies with a history of paying and raising dividends and others more growth-oriented, representing the largest and most actively traded U.S. stocks in the internet industry. Specifically, the First Trust American Leadership Index provides exposure to U.S. companies driving growth and profitability through internet products and services. The level of the First Trust American Leadership IndexTM incorporates an embedded 0.65% annual fee. The fee is not related to the annuity.Nasdaq-100® Index (NDX). The Nasdaq-100® Index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization.The Indices used are “price return Indices,” not “total return Indices,” meaning that each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other distributions declared by the companies included in the Index and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. The Indices do not represent a direct investment in the Index. If an Index is discontinued or substantially changes (for example if an Index sponsor announces that it will make a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the Index or in any other way materially modifies the Index), we reserve the right to select an alternative Index and we will notify the Contractowner of such changes. In selecting an alternative Index we will attempt to approximate the performance of the original investment in a commercially reasonable manner in light of relevant market circumstances at the time. Any substitution is subject to approval by the state insurance authorities where the Contract and rider were issued, if required by law. A change to the Index in the middle of a Segment may impact the calculation of the Performance Rate for the Segments. When we notify you of a change to the Index, we will also state how the change will impact your Performance Rate. Investments in new Segments are available on an Indexed Anniversary Date. The bar charts shown below provide each Index’s annual returns for the last 10 calendar years (or for the life of the Index if less than 10 years), as well as the Index returns after applying a hypothetical 5% Performance Cap and a hypothetical 10% Protection Level. The charts illustrate the variability of the returns from year to year and show how hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses may affect these returns. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance. The performance below is NOT the performance of any specific Indexed Account. Your performance under the Contract will differ, perhaps significantly. The performance below may reflect a different return calculation, time period, and limit on Index gains and losses than the Indexed Account. This performance does not reflect any Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value or any Contract fees and charges, including surrender charges, which may reduce performance. The S&P 500® Price Return Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. The Russell 2000® Price Return Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. The Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.The Index provider deducts fees and costs when calculating the Index return, which will reduce the Index return and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.The First Trust American Leadership IndexTM is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.

Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Periods [Text Block] The Indexed Term is the specified period of time over which an Index’s performance is measured, subject to applicable limits on Index gains and losses, to determine the amount of positive, negative or zero interest that will be credited to an Indexed Account at the end of the period. 1-Year and 6-Year Indexed Terms are available in this Contract. An Indexed Segment begins on the day your money is allocated to an Indexed Segment, called the Start Date. The yearly anniversary of the Start Date of the initial Indexed Segment is the Indexed Anniversary Date of your Contract. This is the Indexed Anniversary Date for the life of your Contract.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Periods Investor Considerations [Text Block] You may choose to allocate your Purchase Payment to different Indexed Accounts, but all Indexed Segments must begin on the Indexed Anniversary Date. All future Indexed Terms must begin on the same Indexed Anniversary Date. This means you can only allocate to Indexed Accounts one time a year. For example, you may start a 6-Year Indexed Segment, and two years later, you can start a 1-Year Indexed Segment, as long as the 1-Year Indexed Segment begins on the Indexed Anniversary Date for your Contract. If you have more than one 6-Year Indexed Segment in effect at any time, Indexed Terms of the same term length must have the same Start Date.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Amounts Must Remain Until End of Crediting Period [Text Block] Your Contract Value must remain in an Indexed Account until the end of the Indexed Term to be credited with all or partial interest and to avoid a possible Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value, in addition to potential surrender charges and tax consequences.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Transactions Subject to Contract Adjustments [Text Block] This performance does not reflect any Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value or any Contract fees and charges, including surrender charges, which may reduce performance.If you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your Contract), reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. For more information, see “Interim Value” later in this section. Lincoln reserves the right to make additional Indexed Account options available or to withdraw currently available Indexed Account options and change the features of an Indexed Account from one Indexed Term to the next, including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses, in the future. Indexed Contract Value. For each Indexed Segment the daily value is determined as follows:a. On the Start Date of the Indexed Segment, the value of the Indexed Segment equals the initial Indexed Crediting Base. The initial Indexed Crediting Base is the amount of Purchase Payment or Contract Value allocated to the Indexed Segment.b. On each Valuation Date during the Indexed Term, the value of the Indexed Segment equals the Interim Value.c. On the last date of the Indexed Term, called the End Date, the value of the Indexed Segment equals the Segment Ending Value.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology [Text Block] Crediting Methods and Protection Methods. Different Crediting Methods and Protection Methods are available for your Indexed Account. Interest is credited for any performance earned or deducted for any loss only on the End Date of a Segment. The Crediting Method you select will limit positive (upside) Index returns credited on the End Date of a Segment and the Protection Method will limit the negative Index returns deducted on the End Date of a Segment. If the End Date is not a Valuation Date, then the amount will be credited or deducted on the next business day. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Indexes [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Investment Types [Text Block] Protection Methods. For Indexed Accounts with a Protection Level, the Protection Level is the portion of any negative Index performance that will not impact your Contract Value if you remain invested until the End Date of the Indexed Segment. For example, if the Index return is -15% and you have a 10% Protection Level, your Contract Value will not be impacted by the first 10% of negative Index performance and we will deduct 5% at the end of the Indexed Term. Your Contract Value will not be impacted up to the amount of the Protection Level you elect, and, after that, you will be impacted for the remaining portion of the loss. This loss will reduce the amount of your investment (principal) in the Indexed Segments. The Contract offers Indexed Accounts with Protection Levels that protect you against losses of 10% to 25%. If you choose an Indexed Account with Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate and a 10% Protection Level, your Contract Value will not be impacted by the first 10% of negative Index performance if you stay invested until the End Date of the Segment. Any remaining negative percentage will be absorbed by you. If an Indexed Account with Annual Locks is selected, the Protection Level is the percentage of the Index loss that will not impact your Indexed Crediting Base each year during the Indexed Term. The Protection Level is not available on Dual Plus Indexed Accounts, but the Dual Rate itself may provide some protection from Index loss, as discussed below.The following examples illustrate how we calculate and credit interest assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals. For example:Indexed Term Segment Start Date = 1/8/2026
Indexed Account = 1-Year Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level
Index Value at beginning of term = 1,569
Indexed Crediting Base = $100,000
Indexed Term Segment End Date = 1/8/2027
Index Value at End Date = 1,333
Index Value percentage change = -15% ((1,333 – 1,569) / 1569)Indexed Segment Ending Value = $95,000 ($100,000 - $5,000)Because your Contract Value is not impacted by the first 10% of the loss, you only experience a 5% loss (-15% Index Value percentage change + 10% Protection Level = 5% loss) or $100,000 * 5.00% = $5,000.The following year assuming you chose a new 1-Year Segment with a 10% Protection Level:(The Indexed Segment Ending Value is used to establish the Indexed Crediting Base for the new Indexed Segment.)Indexed Term Segment Start Date = 1/8/2027
Indexed Crediting Base = $95,000
Indexed Term Segment End Date = 1/8/2028
Index Value at End Date = 1,298
Index Value percentage change = -3% ((1,298 – 1,333)/1,333)
Indexed Segment Ending Value = $95,000 ($95,000 - $0)Because your Contract Value is not impacted by the first 10% of the loss, you experience no loss of Contract Value for this Segment because the Index Value percentage change was less than the 10% Protection Level.For the Dual Performance Trigger Indexed Accounts, the Protection Level is used to determine the Performance Rate on the End Date of the Segment when there is negative Index performance. If the percentage change in the Index Value is negative but within the Protection Level, the Performance Rate is equal to the Dual Performance Trigger Rate. However, if the percentage change in the Index Value has decreased by a greater percentage than the Protection Level then the amount of your investment in the Indexed Segment may be reduced. The Performance Rate would equal the percentage change in the Index Value, plus the Dual Performance Trigger Rate, plus the Protection Level. The amount of loss or gain is dependent on the percentage change in the Index Value, the Dual Performance Trigger Rate and the Protection Level on the Indexed Segment. The following examples show the Performance Rate(s) based on the percentage change in the Index Value using a 6% Dual Performance Trigger Rate. Dual Plus accounts do not include a Protection Level, but the Dual Rate itself may provide some protection. If Index performance is down, your Performance Rate equals the Index performance plus the Dual Rate which may result in either a negative or positive return. For example, if the Index return is -10% and you have a Dual Rate of 15%, we will credit 5% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term. If the Index return is -20% and you have a Dual Rate of 15%, we will deduct 5% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term. The following examples show the Performance Rate(s) based on the percentage change in the Index Value and using a Dual Rate of 15%.Crediting Method Considerations. We determine Performance Caps, Performance Trigger Rates and Dual Performance Trigger Rates for each new Indexed Segment at our discretion, subject to the guaranteed minimums. We consider a number of factors when declaring Performance Caps, Performance Trigger Rates and Dual Performance Trigger Rates. Generally, we seek to manage our risk associated with our obligations, in part, by trading call and put options and other derivative instruments on the available Indices. The costs of these instruments impact the rates we declare, and those costs can be impacted by the market conditions and forces. We also consider sales commissions, administrative expenses, regulatory and tax requirements, general economic trends and competitive factors. You bear the risk that we may declare lower Performance Caps, Performance Trigger Rates and Dual Performance Trigger Rates for future Indexed Segments, and that such rates could be as low as the guaranteed minimum for that Indexed Account. Rates offered for new Indexed Segments may be different from those offered to new investors or offered to you at Contract issuance. You should choose a Crediting Method that is consistent with your risk tolerance and investment objectives. Generally, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term length, an Indexed Account that provides less potential for Index gains will tend to have more protection from Index losses. Conversely, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term length, an Indexed Account that provides more potential for Index gains will generally tend to have less protection from Index losses. ●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Performance Cap, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate we apply on the Indexed Segment End Date could be less than the actual Index performance. If the actual Index performance is greater than the Performance Cap, your Performance Rate will be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return. ●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Performance Trigger Rate, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate on the Indexed Segment End Date, could be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return. ●If you choose an Indexed Segment with an Annual Lock, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate on the Indexed Segment End Date could be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return.●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate on the Indexed Segment End Date could be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return.●If you choose an Indexed Segment with a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and there is positive Index performance, the Performance Rate we apply on the Indexed Segment End Date could be less than the actual Index performance. If the actual Index performance is greater than the Performance Cap, your Performance Rate will be lower, possibly significantly lower, than the actual Index return. Protection Method Considerations. We set the limit on Index losses for each Indexed Account at our sole discretion. We consider various factors in determining the limit on Index losses, including the cost of our risk management techniques, sales commissions, administrative expenses, regulatory and tax requirements, general economic trends and competitive factors. You should choose a level of protection that is consistent with your risk tolerance and investment objectives. Generally, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term, an Indexed Account that provides more protection from Index losses will tend to have less potential for Index gains. Conversely, assuming the same Index and Indexed Term, an Indexed Account that provides less protection from Index losses will generally tend to have more potential for Index gains. ●For accounts with a Performance Cap (with the exclusion of Dual Plus), or Performance Trigger Rate, if there is negative Index performance, we absorb the first portion of the negative performance up to the stated percentage and you bear the risk of loss after your chosen Protection Level, including the loss of any previously credited amount. ●For accounts with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, if there is negative Index performance, we absorb the first portion of the negative Index performance up to the stated percentage of the Protection Level. If there is negative Index performance beyond the Protection Level, we continue to absorb the portion of the negative Index performance up to the stated percentage of the Dual Performance Trigger Rate. For example, if the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 5%, we would absorb the first 5% of loss beyond the Protection Level. You bear the risk of loss thereafter, including the loss of any previously credited amount. ●For accounts with a Dual Rate, if the Index performance is negative, your Performance Rate equals the Index performance plus the Dual Rate, which may result in either a negative or positive return. 		                   
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution [Text Block] Discontinuation or Substitution of an Index. We have the right to discontinue or substitute an existing Index for a comparable Index prior to the Indexed Segment End Date for reasons, such as, but not limited to:●An Index is discontinued;●We are engaged in a contractual dispute with the Index provider;●We determine that our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example, changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; ●There is a substantial change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly different values and performance; or●A legal reason we cannot offer the Index.Although we will attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the existing Index, there is risk that the performance of the new Index may not be as good as the performance of the existing Index. As a result, funds allocated to the substituted Index may earn a return that is lower than the return they would have earned if the Index were not substituted. If we substitute an Index, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance of the substitution. We would attempt to choose a new Index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the original Index. The selection criteria for a suitable alternative Index includes, but is not limited to, the following:●There is a sufficiently large market in exchange traded and/or over-the-counter options, futures and similar derivative instruments based on the Index to allow the company to hedge crediting rates; ●The Index is recognized as a broad-based Index for the relevant market; ●We can offer the same Crediting Method or Protection Method on the substitute Index; and●The publisher of the Index permits the use of the Index in the Contract and other materials for a reasonable fee.If we substitute an Index during an Indexed Term, we will combine the return of the replaced Index from the Indexed Start Date to the substitution date with the return of the new Index from the substitution date to the end of the Indexed Term. The Indexed Term, and all applicable rates for the affected Indexed Segment, including the Crediting Method or Protection Method will not change due to the substitution of an Index during the Indexed Term.If an Index is discontinued and a similar Index cannot be found or if we cannot offer the same Crediting Method or Protection Method, the Indexed Segment will end and the Interim Value on the Valuation Date the Index is discontinued will be used. Lincoln will move the funds into another available Indexed Segment of our choosing, and the funds will not be eligible for allocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.                    
Index-Linked Option Details, Index Substitution Circumstances [Text Block] We have the right to discontinue or substitute an existing Index for a comparable Index prior to the Indexed Segment End Date for reasons, such as, but not limited to:●An Index is discontinued;●We are engaged in a contractual dispute with the Index provider;●We determine that our use of an Index should be discontinued because, for example, changes to the Index make it impractical or expensive to purchase securities or derivatives to hedge the Index; ●There is a substantial change in the calculation of an Index, resulting in significantly different values and performance; or●A legal reason we cannot offer the Index.

Fixed Option Details, Interest Crediting [Line Items]                      
Fixed Option Details, Investor Reallocation [Text Block] Reallocation. You will be notified 25 days prior to each Indexed Anniversary Date regarding the timing of investing in new Indexed Segments. The available Indexed Accounts and applicable Crediting Methods and Protection Methods will be provided at least 5 business days in advance of the Indexed Anniversary Date on your online account or by calling 1-877-737-6872. To view the available Indexed Segments and the applicable rates, log in to your account at www.LincolnFinancial.com and select Account Reallocation under Account Management. Current rates can also be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and are incorporated into this prospectus by reference. If your existing Indexed Segment is at the end of the Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account. If your existing Indexed Segment is at an Indexed Anniversary during the Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Interim Value to any available Indexed Account. A reallocation request must be received on or before the Indexed Anniversary Date or Indexed Term End Date, as applicable. We will hold reallocation instructions for up to 25 calendar days prior to the Indexed Anniversary Date. The reallocation will take place on the Indexed Anniversary Date. If we do not receive a reallocation notice from you, all Indexed Segments that are ending will invest into a new Indexed Segment with the same term, Index, and Protection Method as the Indexed Segment in which they were previously invested and with the Crediting Method rate applicable to a new Indexed Term. If the same type of Indexed Segment is no longer available, the funds will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection, and will not be eligible for allocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date. The following chart outlines possible reallocations among Indexed Accounts at the end of an Indexed Term or as described under Secure Lock+®. Indexed Terms of the same term length must have the same Start Date.

Item 7. Charges and Adjustments [Line Items]                      
Contract Adjustment [Table Text Block] Contract Adjustments If you make any withdrawals, surrender or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a death benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. You could lose a significant amount of money due to Contract Adjustments based on Interim Values if amounts are removed from an Indexed Segment prior to the Segment End Date. Your Interim Value may be less than the amount invested and may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment in the Indexed Segment until the Segment End Date. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value. The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method as well as Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The use of Interim Values transfers risk from us to you to protect us from losses on our investments supporting the Indexed Crediting Rate strategies if amounts are removed prematurely.For more information about the Interim Value, including examples illustrating the operation of the Interim Values, please see the Statement of Additional Information.If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction in your Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions in your Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term. Once your Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. The Interim Value and Indexed Crediting Base are available on your online account or by calling us at 1-877-737-6872.                    
Contract Adjustment, Applicable Transaction [Text Block] If you make any withdrawals, surrender or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a death benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value.                    
Contract Adjustment, Negative Effect Could be Greater than Value Withdrawn [Text Block] You could lose a significant amount of money due to Contract Adjustments based on Interim Values if amounts are removed from an Indexed Segment prior to the Segment End Date. Your Interim Value may be less than the amount invested and may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment in the Indexed Segment until the Segment End Date. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value.                    
Contract Adjustment, Relationship to Other Charges [Text Block] Once your Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised.                    
Contract Adjustment, Obtaining Current Value of an Adjustment [Text Block] The Interim Value and Indexed Crediting Base are available on your online account or by calling us at 1-877-737-6872.

Investment Options (N-4) [Text Block] Appendix A — Investment Options Available Under The ContractThe following is a list of Indexed Accounts currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Indexed Accounts listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses), offer new Indexed Accounts, and terminate existing Indexed Accounts. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to the current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at www.lfg.com/llarates. Note: If amounts are removed from an Indexed Account before the end of its Indexed Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value. This may result in significant reduction in your Contract Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you held the Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term.

1 The Index is a “price return Index,” not a “total return Index,” and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index. 2 The Index deduct fees and costs when calculating Index performance which will reduce the Index return and cause each Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.Each Indexed Account’s limit on Index losses is guaranteed not to change for as long as that Indexed Account remains available under the Contract. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Performance Cap or Performance Trigger Rate below 4.00% or a 6-Year Annual Lock Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 5.00%. We will not offer a 1-Year Indexed Account with a Dual Performance Trigger Rate below 5.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Performance Cap Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 21.00%. We will not offer a 6-Year Dual Plus Indexed Account with a Performance Cap below 27.00%. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®, we will reset the Performance Cap for that Indexed Segment, and that Reset Rate may be lower than these stated minimums. We will not offer a Reset Rate under Secure Lock+® less than 3.50%. However, we reserve the right to add and remove Indexed Accounts and to offer Indexed Accounts with different Crediting Methods or Protection Methods. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Indexed Term to the next. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses. See Indexed Accounts in the prospectus for additional details. 		                   
Index-Linked Option [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Options Available, Legend [Text Block] The following is a list of Indexed Accounts currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Indexed Accounts listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses), offer new Indexed Accounts, and terminate existing Indexed Accounts. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to the current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at www.lfg.com/llarates. Note: If amounts are removed from an Indexed Account before the end of its Indexed Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value. This may result in significant reduction in your Contract Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you held the Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term. See Indexed Accounts – Interim Value in the prospectus for additional details.

This Death Benefit terminates on the Annuity Commencement Date. You should consider the following provisions carefully when designating the Beneficiary, Annuitant, any contingent Annuitant and any joint owner, as well as before changing any of these parties. The identity of these parties under the Contract may significantly affect the amount and timing of the Death Benefit or other amount paid upon a Contractowner's or Annuitant's death.You may designate a Beneficiary during your lifetime and change the Beneficiary by filing a written request with our Servicing Office. Each change of Beneficiary revokes any previous designation. We reserve the right to request that you send us the Contract for endorsement of a change of Beneficiary.Upon the death of the Contractowner, a Death Benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary. Upon the death of a joint owner, the Death Benefit will be paid to the surviving joint owner. If the Contractowner is a corporation or other non-individual (non-natural person), the death of the Annuitant will be treated as death of the Contractowner.If an Annuitant who is not the Contractowner or joint owner dies, then the contingent Annuitant, if named, becomes the Annuitant and no Death Benefit is payable on the death of the Annuitant. If no contingent Annuitant is named, the Contractowner (or younger of joint owners) becomes the Annuitant. Alternatively, a Death Benefit may be paid to the Contractowner (and joint owner, if applicable, in equal shares). Notification of the election of this Death Benefit must be received by us within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant. The Contract terminates when any Death Benefit is paid due to the death of the Annuitant.Only the Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the death claim is available as a Death Benefit if a Contractowner, joint owner, or Annuitant was added or changed subsequent to the effective date of this Contract unless the change occurred because of the death of a prior Contractowner, joint owner, or Annuitant. If your Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid.

Name of Benefit [Text Block] Automatic Withdrawal Service                    
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Automatic Withdrawal Service. The automatic withdrawal service (AWS) provides for an automatic periodic withdrawal of your Contract Value. Withdrawals under AWS are subject to applicable surrender charges. Withdrawals from Indexed Accounts will be at Interim Value unless they coincide with a Segment End Date. See Charges and Adjustments — Surrender Charge and Indexed Accounts – Interim Value. Participating in an AWS may potentially expose you to certain risks. See Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract. Withdrawals under AWS will be noted on your quarterly statement. Confirmation statements for each individual withdrawal will not be issued. Currently, there is no charge for this service. However, we reserve the right to impose one after appropriate notice to Contractowners. In order to take advantage of this service, you will need to complete the appropriate election form that is available online at LincolnFinancial.com or from our Servicing Office.

LNY Lincoln Level Advantage 2 B-Share | General Death Benefit Information                      
Item 10. Benefits Available [Line Items]                      
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] General Death Benefit InformationYour Death Benefit terminates on and after the Annuity Commencement Date. If there are joint owners, upon the death of the first Contractowner, we will pay a Death Benefit to the surviving joint owner. The surviving joint owner will be treated as the primary, designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. If the surviving joint owner is the spouse of the deceased joint owner, that individual may continue the Contract as sole Contractowner. Upon the death of the spouse who continued the Contract, we will pay the Account Value Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary(s).All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal law. You are strongly encouraged to consult a tax advisor before electing spousal rights under the Contract. The value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim. Approval of payment will occur upon our receipt of a claim submitted in Good Order or one year from the date of the death for nonqualified contracts and December 31st of the year following death for IRAs. To be in Good Order, we require all the following:1.an original certified death certificate, or other proof of death satisfactory to us; and2.written authorization for payment; and3.all required claim forms, fully completed (including selection of a settlement option).Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, the payment of Death Benefits provided under this Contract must be made in compliance with Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable, as amended from time to time. Death Benefits may be taxable. See Federal Tax Matters.Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, one of the following procedures will take place on the death of a Beneficiary:●if any Beneficiary dies before the Contractowner, that Beneficiary’s interest will go to any other Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests; and/or●if no Beneficiary survives the Contractowner, the proceeds will be paid to the Contractowner’s estate.If the Beneficiary is a minor, court documents appointing the guardian/custodian may be required.The Beneficiary may choose the method of payment of the Death Benefit unless the Contractowner has already selected a settlement option. All methods of payment of Death Benefit must comply with Section 72(s) of the Code, or Section 401(a)(9) of the Code for qualified contracts. The Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner of a nonqualified contract must be distributed within five years of the Contractowner’s date of death unless the Beneficiary begins receiving within one year of the Contractowner’s death the distribution in the form of a life annuity or an annuity for a designated period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy and payments must begin within one year of the Contractowner’s date of death. For qualified contracts, the Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner must be distributed within 10 years of the Contractowner's date of death unless the Beneficiary qualifies as an eligible designated beneficiary and begins receiving distributions before December 31st of the year following the year of the Contractowner's death. The eligible designated beneficiary must begin receiving the distributions in the form of annuity not extending beyond the Beneficiary's life expectancy. Note: Indexed Accounts cannot be divided into separate contracts when there are multiple beneficiaries. If more than one beneficiary chooses a death benefit option other than a lump sum, the existing Indexed Account(s) will need to be surrendered at the Interim Value to be allocated to multiple beneficiaries. New Indexed Accounts can be selected on the new contracts if desired with the currently available features.Upon the death of the Annuitant, Federal tax law requires that an annuity election be made no later than 60 days after we have approved the death claim for payment.The recipient of a Death Benefit may elect to receive payment either in the form of a lump sum settlement or an Annuity Payout. If a lump sum settlement is elected, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of approval by us of the claim subject to the laws, regulations and tax code governing payment of Death Benefits. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Item 2. Overview of the Contract [Line Items]                      
Overview, Investor Could Lose Money Due to Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block] Contract AdjustmentsIf you make any withdrawals, surrender, or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be subject to a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value. You could lose a significant amount of money due to Contract Adjustments based on Interim Values if amounts are removed from an Indexed Segment prior to the Segment End Date. Your Interim Value may be less than the amount invested and may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment in the Indexed Segment until the Segment End Date. The Interim Value will generally be negatively affected by increases in the expected volatility of Index prices, interest rate increases, and by poor market performance. All other factors being equal, the Interim Value generally would be lower the earlier a withdrawal or surrender is made in a Term.                    
Overview, Transactions Subject to Contract Adjustments [Text Block] If you make any withdrawals, surrender, or terminate your Contract, reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be subject to a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value.                    
Item 3. Key Information [Line Items]                      
Key Information, Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block] If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, we will apply a Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value, which could be negative, and you could lose up to 100% of your investment due to the Contract Adjustment. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the entire amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more than 100%) if you also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes, and tax penalties. Contract Adjustments are applied to withdrawals, surrenders, reallocations, annuitizations and Death Benefit payments prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term and when a Secure Lock+® is exercised.                    
Key Information, Maximum Loss Resulting from Negative Adjustment [Percent] 100.00%                    
Key Information, Example of Maximum Loss Resulting from Negative Adjustment [Text Block] For example, if you allocate $100,000 to an Indexed Account and later withdraw the entire amount before the Indexed Term has ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater (but never more than 100%) if you also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes, and tax penalties.                    
Key Information, Example of Maximum Loss on One Hundred Thousand Dollars Resulting from Negative Adjustment $ 100,000                    
Item 4. Fee Table [Line Items]                      
Transactions Subject to Contract Adjustment, Fee Table [Text Block] If you make any withdrawals, surrender or terminate your Contract), reallocate Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitize your Contract or upon payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date, your Contract Value in the Indexed Segment will be its Interim Value. The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method or Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for an Indexed Segment at a time when the Index Value has declined to zero or close to zero.

Index-Linked Option Details, Investor Could Lose Money Due to Contract Adjustments if Amounts are Removed [Text Block] If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will be based on Interim Value and will cause an immediate reduction in your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. You could lose a significant portion of your investment in an Indexed Segment if amounts are removed from the Indexed Segment prior to the end of the Indexed Term.

Index-Linked Option Details, Other Material Features [Text Block] Interim Value. The Interim Value is a daily value we calculate to provide you with a value of your Indexed Segment after the Start Date and before the End Date of an Indexed Term. The Contract Value for an Indexed Segment is equal to the Interim Value on each Valuation Date except the End Date. The Interim Value is used to calculate amounts available for withdrawal, surrender (including any applicable surrender charge, premium tax or rider fees and charges), reallocation, annuitization or payment of a death claim for each day during an Indexed Term other than the End Date. The Interim Value also is used to determine how much the Indexed Crediting Base will be reduced after a withdrawal. See Surrenders and Withdrawals. Once you reach the End Date of the Indexed Term, there is no Interim Value, and the actual performance will be credited to or deducted from your Indexed Segment based on the Performance Rate associated with the Crediting Methods you have chosen. The Interim Value calculation will vary depending on the Indexed Account selected and whether Secure Lock+® has been elected.The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index.The specifics of the Interim Value calculation are located in the Statement of Additional Information. If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction in your Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions in your Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term. Under extreme conditions a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Value could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value. Such loss can occur even if an Index has increased in value. This means your Interim Value could reflect negative performance, even if the Index Value has increased. Once your Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. The Interim Value and Indexed Crediting Base are available on your online account or by calling us at 1-877-737-6872.Refer to the Surrender and Withdrawal section for information about the Interim Value and how surrenders or withdrawals are calculated.

Contract Adjustment, Impact of Adjustment on Interest Credited [Text Block] If you withdraw Contract Value prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction in your Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions in your Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term.                    
Contract Adjustment, Purpose [Text Block] The Interim Value calculation is designed to represent the fair value of the Indexed Segment on each business day, taking into account the potential gain or loss of the applicable Index at the end of the Indexed Term, including the impacts of the Crediting Method as well as Protection Method you have chosen. The calculation is also designed to reflect the change in fair value due to economic factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of market rates, volatility, and correlation (if applicable) of the investment instruments supporting the Contract. The Interim Value is based on this calculation and not the actual value of any underlying investments or the current value of any Index. The use of Interim Values transfers risk from us to you to protect us from losses on our investments supporting the Indexed Crediting Rate strategies if amounts are removed prematurely.For more information about the Interim Value, including examples illustrating the operation of the Interim Values, please see the Statement of Additional Information.

Index-Linked Option Details, Maturity [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Other Material Features [Text Block] Secure Lock+®On any Valuation Date, excluding an Indexed Anniversary Date, one time each year between an Indexed Term Start Date and Indexed Term End Date, you may request to lock the Interim Value of any unlocked Indexed Segments (“Secure Lock+®”). You can obtain the current Interim Value by calling 1-877-737-6872 or by logging into your account at www.LincolnFinancial.com. This value fluctuates daily and is calculated at the end of each business day and may be more or less than the value quoted earlier. The Interim Value as calculated as of the close of that Valuation Date will be locked in and once enacted, each singular lock-in is irrevocable. Once locked, the Indexed Segment’s Interim Value will not change until the next Indexed Anniversary Date (except any withdrawal made once the Interim Value is locked will reduce the locked value by the dollar amount of the withdrawal). If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below your Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply and you assume all loss of Indexed Account Value. If you have elected to lock-in and the value of the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase that Contract Year. In addition, Interim Values that have been locked do not earn any interest while locked. Secure Lock+® is not available for Annual Lock or Dual Plus Indexed Accounts. If you request a lock-in of the Interim Value, you are not locking the actual Index performance, since the Interim Value is not based on the value of the Index but the fair market value of the portfolio of investment instruments supporting the Indexed Segment. A request to lock the Interim Value may be made before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i.e. before market close) on any Valuation Date (in order to be processed that Valuation Day), one time between each Contract Year, prior to the Indexed Segment End Date; however, a lock cannot be processed on an Indexed Anniversary Date. You will not know the locked Interim Value until the next Valuation Date. Any request made after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (i.e. after market close) or on a day other than a Valuation Date will take effect as of the market close on the following Valuation Date. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of a 1-Year Term Indexed Segment, you will remain in that Indexed Segment and the locked in Interim Value will not change (unless a withdrawal is taken), and no fixed interest will be credited from the date of the lock-in to the Term End Date. If you choose to lock the Interim Value of a 6-Year Term Indexed Segment, you will remain in that Indexed Segment and the locked in Interim Value will not change (unless a withdrawal is taken), and no fixed interest will be credited from the date of the lock-in to the Reset Date. On the next Indexed Anniversary Date (if this is not the End Date of the Segment), we will reset the crediting rate for that Indexed Segment, and reset the beginning Index Value and the Segment’s Crediting Base to its locked Interim Value (reduced by the dollar amount of any applicable withdrawals, surrender charges, taxes, rider fees and charges), and the Interim Value will begin calculating daily again. These reset values are used in calculating the Segment Ending Value on the End Date of the Indexed Term unless another lock-in is requested, in which case a new crediting rate, beginning Index Value, and Crediting Base would be established following that lock-in. The Protection Level percentage associated with the Segment will not change. If the Indexed Anniversary Date after the lock-in is the End Date, then the Segment Ending Value equals the Interim Value (reduced by the dollar amount of any applicable withdrawals, surrender charges, taxes, riders fees and charges). In addition, the Reset Rate may limit a positive Index return if you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. We will reset the Indexed Segment Performance Cap rate, Performance Trigger Rate, or Dual Performance Trigger Rate for the remainder of the Indexed Term following the lock, and these Reset Rates may be lower than the original rates. For example, if the Performance Cap is 4% and you choose to lock in the Interim Value, then on the next Indexed Anniversary date, we could reset the Performance Cap for the remaining Indexed Term to 2%. If the Index return at the end of the Indexed Term is 12%, we will credit 2% in the interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment. Please note: Once your Interim Value is locked in, we will automatically reset your crediting rate on the next Indexed Anniversary Date unless you have elected to reallocate to another available Indexed Account. The Reset Rate will be available online (or by phone) 10 days prior to the Indexed Anniversary date. The minimum Reset Rate is 3.50%. Current Reset Rates can be found at www.lfg.com/RILAresetrates and are incorporated into this prospectus by references. Additionally, to view rates for the available Indexed Accounts, log in to your account at www.LincolnFinancial.com and select Secure Lock+® under Account Management. You should carefully consider whether and when to elect a Secure Lock+® of your Interim Value. A lock-in may only be requested once per Contract Year during an Indexed Term and is irrevocable. Your locked-in value at the end of the Indexed Term could be less than if you chose not to lock-in. If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply and you assume all losses of Indexed Account Value.It is possible to utilize the Secure Lock+® feature and lock-in when the Interim Value is down. Careful consideration must be given before choosing to do this since you would be locking in the full decline in the Interim Value without the benefit of the Protection Level. While potential continued losses in the Interim Value would cease until the next Indexed Anniversary Date, the existing losses would be realized with no guarantee that the Segment would experience any future gains to offset this loss. Below are examples of locking in an Interim Value higher than the Crediting Base and lower than the Crediting Base.Locking in an Interim Value Higher than the Crediting Base1/1/2026 Crediting Base is $100,000
4/1/2030 Interim Value is $120,000
4/1/2030 The Contractowner decides to lock-in the $120,000 Interim Value
5/1/2030 Crediting Base is reset to $120,000Locking in an Interim Value Lower than the Crediting Base1/1/2026 Crediting Base is $100,000
4/1/2030 Interim Value is $90,000
4/1/2030 The Contractowner decides to lock-in the $90,000 Interim Value
5/1/2030 Crediting Base is reset to $90,000Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in, and the Reset Rate may be significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. As less time remains in your Indexed Term, you should expect the Reset Rate to be lower, possibly much lower. For example, assuming a 6-year term with a Performance Cap of 300%, if you choose to lock-in three months before the end of the Indexed Term, your rate is based on only two remaining months.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Yes:●You can lose money by investing in the Contract. Your investment in the Indexed Accounts is subject to all losses in excess of the Protection Method or Dual Rate you choose including any loss experienced from a negative Index performance. Under extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested.●An Interim Value is calculated if an early withdrawal is taken. The Interim Value formula may result in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.

Risk [Text Block] No:●This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for the investor who needs ready access to cash. ●Indexed interest will only be credited to an Indexed Account at the end of an Indexed Term. No interest will be credited to funds withdrawn or surrendered before the end of an Indexed Term.●Withdrawals taken prior to the end of an Indexed Term may result in a negative Contract Adjustment based on the Interim Value and loss of positive Index performance. The Interim Value formula may result in a loss even if the Index Value at the time of the withdrawal is higher than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term.●A surrender or withdrawal may result in surrender charges. Any surrender charge will reduce the Contract Value or the amount of money that you actually receive. ●Surrenders and withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. ●At the end of an Indexed Term, you may reallocate the Indexed Segment Ending Value to any available Indexed Account as long as the reallocation request is received on or before the Indexed Anniversary Date. If we do not hear from you by the end of the Indexed Term, we will reallocate your Segment Ending Value into a new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed Term, Index and Protection Method if available. A new rate will apply based on the Indexed Segment you select, subject to the guaranteed minimum rates. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap and 10% Protection Level and will not be eligible for reallocation into another Indexed Account until the next Indexed Anniversary Date.

Item 3. Key Information [Line Items]                      
Risk [Text Block] ●An investment in this Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the Indexed Accounts you choose. Performance can vary depending on the performance of the Indexes linked to the Indexed Accounts. ●Each Indexed Account has its own unique risks and you should review the available Indexed Accounts before making an investment decision.●The Crediting Method you select may limit positive (upside) Index returns. This may result in you earning less than the Index return. For example:●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Cap, and the Index return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 10%, we will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●If the Indexed Account has a Performance Trigger Rate, and the Index return is 12% and the Performance Trigger Rate is 10%, we will credit 10% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Performance Trigger Rate, and the Index return is 12% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●If the Indexed Account has a Dual Rate and Performance Cap, and the Index return is 60% and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest at the end of the Indexed Term.●A Reset Rate may limit positive Index return if you choose to lock the Interim Value of an Indexed Segment under Secure Lock+®. For example, if the Index return is 12%, and the Reset Rate is a 2% Performance Cap, we will credit 2% in interest at the end of the end of the Indexed Term. ●While an Indexed Account with Dual Performance Trigger Rate or Dual Plus may provide for a positive Performance Rate even in the event of negative Index performance, there is no guarantee of investment gain. Negative Index performance may result in significant loss. ●The Protection Level will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Protection Level is 10%, we will deduct 15% (the amount that exceeds the Protection Level) at the end of the Indexed Term.●The Dual Rate will limit negative (downside) Index returns. For example, if the Index return is -25% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we will deduct 10% at the end of the Indexed Term.●Each Index is a “price return Index”, not a “total return Index”, and does not, therefore, reflect dividends paid on the underlying securities. This will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.●These factors may result in you earning less than the Index return.                    
Index-Linked Option Market Risk [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Risk, No Guaranteed Limit on Index Losses May Lose Entire Investment [Text Block] The Protection Method applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment including Segments with Annual Locks. Each time you move into a new Indexed Segment, you may have a new Protection Level or Dual Rate and are subject to the same risk of loss as described above. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. For Annual Lock accounts, since the gain or loss is established each year, losses can accumulate so that you could actually lose more than the amount in excess of the Protection Level percent. Losses you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market over the Indexed Term, however, your loss could exceed the Protection Level. For example, if you chose a 10% Protection Level and if loss occurred during each Annual Lock period for the remainder of the term, you could lose more than 90% of your principal in an Annual Lock account.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Market Risk. There is a risk of loss of your investment in the Indexed Segments since the performance tracks a market Index. You are responsible for all losses in excess of the Protection Method you choose. Under extreme circumstances, at the end of an Indexed Term, you could lose up to 90% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 10% Protection Level or 10% Dual Rate, up to 85% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 15% Protection Level or 15% Dual Rate, up to 80% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 20% Protection Level, and up to 75% of your investment in an Indexed Account with a 25% Protection Level. We do not guarantee that the Contract will always offer Indexed Accounts that will limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested. The Protection Method applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment including Segments with Annual Locks. Each time you move into a new Indexed Segment, you may have a new Protection Level or Dual Rate and are subject to the same risk of loss as described above. There is also a risk of loss upon an early withdrawal. For Annual Lock accounts, since the gain or loss is established each year, losses can accumulate so that you could actually lose more than the amount in excess of the Protection Level percent. Losses you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market over the Indexed Term, however, your loss could exceed the Protection Level. For example, if you chose a 10% Protection Level and if loss occurred during each Annual Lock period for the remainder of the term, you could lose more than 90% of your principal in an Annual Lock account.                    
LNY Lincoln Level Advantage 2 B-Share | Early Withdrawal Risk [Member]                      
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Early Withdrawal Risk. This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-term horizon. You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrendering the Contract. You may incur a surrender charge upon the surrender or withdrawal of Contract Value. See Charges and Adjustments – Surrender Charge. If you take a withdrawal or surrender the Contract, any applicable surrender charges will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you ultimately receive. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks. If you withdraw Contract Value from an Indexed Account prior to the End Date of an Indexed Term it will be based on the Interim Value of the Indexed Account. Under extreme conditions, a negative Contract Adjustment based on Interim Values could result in a loss of up to 100% of your Contract Value in an Indexed Segment. Additionally, the withdrawal will cause an immediate reduction to your Indexed Crediting Base in a proportion equal to the reduction in your Interim Value. A proportional reduction could be larger than the dollar amount of your withdrawal. Reductions to your Indexed Crediting Base will negatively impact your Interim Value for the remainder of the Indexed Term and will result in a lower Indexed Segment Ending Value at the end of the Indexed Term unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Once your Indexed Crediting Base is reduced due to a withdrawal during any Indexed Term, you cannot increase it during the remainder of the Indexed Term. Contract Value must remain in an Indexed Segment until the end of the Indexed Term to be credited with all or partial interest unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. To determine the Interim Value, we apply a formula which is not the actual performance of the applicable Index, but rather a determination of the value of hypothetical underlying investments at the time of the Interim Value calculation. This amount could be less than if you had held the Indexed Segment for the full Indexed Term. It also means that you could have a negative performance, even if the value of the Index has increased during the calculation period. All withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your Contract), reallocation of Contract Value from an Indexed Segment, annuitization of your Contract or payment of a Death Benefit from an Indexed Segment on any date prior to the Segment End Date will be based on the Interim Value.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Indexed Account Risk. Each available Index will expose you to risks associated with equity markets. Equity markets are subject to the risk that the value of the securities may fall due to general market and economic conditions. Market volatility may exist with the Indices, which means that the value of the Indices can change dramatically over a short period of time in either direction. The Indices used are “price return Indices”, not “total return Indices”, meaning that each Index’s returns do not include any dividends or other distributions declared by the companies included in the Index and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the companies included in the Index. We may change the Index on a particular Indexed Account if the Index is discontinued or if we feel the Index is no longer appropriate. This change may occur in the middle of an Indexed Segment and this change may impact how your Indexed Segment performance and Interim Value are calculated. See the Discontinuance or Substitution of an Index section later in the prospectus for more information. If we do not receive investment instructions from you by the end of an Indexed Term, we will invest your Segment Ending Value in a new Indexed Segment with the same Crediting Method, Indexed Term, Index, Protection Level, or Dual Rate, as applicable, if available. The Crediting Method for the new Indexed Segment could be less advantageous than the current Indexed Segment because the rate may be different. If the same type of Indexed Segment is not available your Segment Ending Value will be moved to the 1-Year S&P 500® Price Return Index with Performance Cap, 10% Protection Level. If your Contract Value has been invested in a new Segment and you wish to withdraw your investment, the Contract Value for that Segment will equal the Interim Value.Investors in an Indexed Account have no rights in the linked Index. You will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other rights that shareholders who invest in mutual funds based on these Indices would have.Additional risks for specific Indices are as follows: ●S&P 500® Price Return Index: This Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Russell 2000® Price Return Index: Compared to mid-and large-capitalization companies, small-capitalization companies may be less stable and more susceptible to adverse developments, and their securities may be more volatile and less liquid.●Capital Strength Net Fee IndexSM: This Index has fewer stocks than broad based indices; therefore, the risk is spread between fewer equity securities. This Index may not track other large cap indices.●First Trust American Leadership IndexTM: In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.●Nasdaq-100 Index®: This large-cap growth index is comprised of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. This index is comprised of industries such as technology, consumer services, and health care. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion.                    
Index-Linked Option Risk [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Risk, Investor Could Lose Money Despite Limits on Negative Returns [Text Block] The Protection Method that is applicable to an Indexed Account only provides you with limited protection from negative Index performance at the end of an Indexed Term, or, in the case of Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, each Contract Year during the Indexed Segment. You could lose a significant amount of your Purchase Payment and/or prior earnings under the Contract despite these limits on negative Index returns. You also bear the risk that continued negative Index returns may result in zero or a negative Performance Rate being credited to your Contract Value over multiple strategy periods. Given that the Protection Method applies to a single Indexed Term, if an Indexed Account is credited with a negative Performance Rate for multiple Indexed Terms, the cumulative loss may exceed any single Indexed Term’s stated Protection Method. Similarly, if you select an Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, the Protection Level will apply each Contract Year during an Indexed Term, so if the Index has negative performance for multiple Contract Years during the Indexed Term, the cumulative loss reflected in the Performance Rate at the end of the Indexed Term may exceed any single Contract Year’s stated Protection Level. The Protection Method does not apply to your Interim Value, so in order to receive the full protection you must hold your investment until the end of the Indexed Term.

If you request a lock-in when the Interim Value is below the Indexed Crediting Base, Protection Levels do not apply, and you assume all loss. If you have elected to lock-in and the Interim Value supporting the Index Segment would have otherwise increased since the lock-in, you will not be able to take advantage of the increase. Additionally, you assume the risk that your Reset Rate may not be known when you request a lock-in and the Reset Rate may be lower, significantly lower than the rate prior to the lock-in. Secure Lock+® is not available with all Indexed Accounts. Refer to the “Secure Lock+®” section for additional details and examples.

We do not guarantee that more than one Indexed Account option will always be available.●You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrender under the Contract. If you take a withdrawal or surrender the Contract, any applicable surrender charges will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you ultimately receive. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Participation in an Automatic Withdrawal Service will repeatedly expose you to these risks.●You may incur a surrender charge upon the surrender or withdrawal of Contract Value.

LNY Lincoln Level Advantage 2 B-Share | Risks Associated with Crediting Methods and Protection Methods                      
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Risks Associated with Crediting Methods and Protection Methods. The available Indexed Accounts with applicable Crediting Methods and Protection Methods will vary over time. Before investing in a new Indexed Segment, you should determine exactly what Indexed Accounts, Protection Methods, and Crediting Methods are available to you. There is no guarantee that more than one Indexed Account will be available in the future. You risk the possibility that you would find declared caps and rates unacceptable (i.e. could be lower than what were available at the time your Contract was issued), so you should make sure the Segment(s) you select is appropriate for your investment goals.●The Protection Method that is applicable to an Indexed Account only provides you with limited protection from negative Index performance at the end of an Indexed Term, or, in the case of Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, each Contract Year during the Indexed Segment. You could lose a significant amount of your Purchase Payment and/or prior earnings under the Contract despite these limits on negative Index returns. You also bear the risk that continued negative Index returns may result in zero or a negative Performance Rate being credited to your Contract Value over multiple strategy periods. Given that the Protection Method applies to a single Indexed Term, if an Indexed Account is credited with a negative Performance Rate for multiple Indexed Terms, the cumulative loss may exceed any single Indexed Term’s stated Protection Method. Similarly, if you select an Indexed Account with an Annual Lock, the Protection Level will apply each Contract Year during an Indexed Term, so if the Index has negative performance for multiple Contract Years during the Indexed Term, the cumulative loss reflected in the Performance Rate at the end of the Indexed Term may exceed any single Contract Year’s stated Protection Level. The Protection Method does not apply to your Interim Value, so in order to receive the full protection you must hold your investment until the end of the Indexed Term.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Caps. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segments are limited by any applicable Performance Trigger Rate. If the performance of the Index is zero or positive, a specified rate is used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return may be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term on the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Generally, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Trigger Rates. Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Dual Performance Trigger Rate. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate is used in determining the Segment Ending Value. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate may be lower than the actual performance of the Index, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Dual Performance Trigger Rate applies for the full term of the Indexed Segment unless Secure Lock+® is exercised. Dual Performance Trigger Rates for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Dual Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Dual Performance Trigger Rate used for new Contracts or for the other Contracts issued at different times.●Gains in your Dual Plus Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or other Contracts issued at different times.●For Indexed Accounts without an Annual Lock, the indexed performance credited to or deducted from your Indexed Segment is determined on the last day of the Indexed Term. It is not affected by the price of the Index on any date in between the effective date of the Indexed Account and the End Date of the Indexed Term. Annual Lock accounts are not affected by Index prices between the Annual Lock anniversaries.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]                      
Principal Risk [Text Block] Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers to conduct our business. As such, our business is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and business interruption risks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data; interference with or denial of service; attacks on websites or systems; operational disruptions; and unauthorized release of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks affecting us, any third-party administrators, underlying funds, index providers, intermediaries, and service providers may adversely affect us and/or your Contract. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including order processing; impact our ability to calculate Contract values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; and/or subject us to regulatory fines, litigation, financial losses or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that systems disruptions, cyberattacks and information security breaches will always be detected, prevented, or avoided in the future. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts. Any such disasters could interfere with our business and our ability to administer the Contract. For example, they could lead to delays in our processing of Contract transactions, including orders from Contractowners, or could negatively impact our ability to calculate Contract values. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters will always be avoided.

Accordingly, you will be unable to increase your Contract Value or Death Benefit by making subsequent Purchase Payments. You should carefully consider the amount of your Purchase Payment when purchasing the Contract and whether to take a withdrawal under the Contract. The reduction of Contract Value as a result of a withdrawal, including any applicable surrender charges, may not be offset by gains as a result of positive performance of your investment selections.You must obtain our approval for a Purchase Payment totaling $1 million or more. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all existing Lincoln Level Advantage®, Lincoln Level Advantage 2® and Lincoln Level Advantage 2 IncomeSM contracts for the same owner, joint owner, or Annuitant. At the Company’s discretion, this amount may consider total Purchase Payments for all annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant.

Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology Example [Text Block] Indexed Segments with Performance Caps, No Annual Locks. The Performance Cap is the maximum Performance Rate that can be credited to the Indexed Segment for an Indexed Term for which it is declared. For example, if the Index return is 12% and the Performance Cap is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 4%. The Performance Cap may vary depending on the Index, the Indexed Term length, and the Protection Level. Typically, Indexed Segments with greater Protection Levels have lower Performance Caps. The initial Performance Cap applies to the initial Indexed Term. The Company will declare, at its discretion, a Performance Cap for each subsequent Indexed Term. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times. If no Performance Cap is declared for an Indexed Term, there is no maximum Performance Rate for that Indexed Term. In no event will a Performance Cap be lower than what is shown in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract. Information about current Performance Caps can be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and is incorporated into this prospectus by reference. The Performance Rate is the percentage change in the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date, adjusted by the Protection Level and subject to the Performance Cap. The Performance Rate can be positive, negative or zero. The percentage change in the Index Value is calculated by subtracting the Index Value on the Start Date from the Index Value on the End Date, and the difference is divided by the Index Value on the Start Date. The daily Index Value is posted on the Index’s website. If an Index Value is not published for a particular day, we will use the Index Value at the close of the next Valuation Date the Index Value is published. If your Indexed Account has a Performance Cap and the percentage change of the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date is positive and equal to or greater than the Performance Cap, then the Performance Rate equals the Performance Cap. If the percentage change is zero or positive and less than the Performance Cap, the Performance Rate equals the percentage change of the Index Value. If you have a Protection Level and the percentage change in the Index Value is less than zero, then the Performance Rate is the lesser of 1) 0%, or 2) the percentage change in the Index Value plus the Protection Level. The amount credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment is equal to the Performance Rate multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date. This will be used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Indexed Crediting Base is the amount you have allocated to the Indexed Segment, less any withdrawals during the Indexed Term deducted proportionately by the amount that the withdrawal reduced the Interim Value (described later in the Interim Value section). Withdrawals include any applicable surrender charge, premium tax or rider fees and charges. The Performance Rate is used to determine the value credited after all adjustments. If the Performance Rate is positive, the value of your Indexed Segment will increase. If the Performance Rate is negative (after calculation including the Protection Level), the value of your Indexed Segment is reduced. If the Performance Rate is zero, the value of your Indexed Segment will not change. The following examples illustrate how we calculate the Performance Rate assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals. The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Accounts on the End Date, and to calculate the Interim Value. This amount is not available for surrender, withdrawal, reallocation, annuitization or as a Death Benefit. If Secure Lock+® has been elected, see the Secure Lock+® section below for additional information. Depending on market conditions, subsequent Performance Caps may be higher or lower than the initial Performance Cap. The Company will determine new Performance Caps on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of contracts.

For example, if the Index return is -5%, the Protection Level is 10% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 8%. If the percentage change in the Index Value is negative and beyond Protection Level, the Performance Rate is the percentage change in the Index Value, plus the Dual Performance Trigger Rate, plus the Protection Level. The Performance Rate could be negative. For example, if the Index return is -20%, the Protection Level is 10% and the Dual Performance Trigger Rate is 8%, we will deduct 2% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will decrease by 2%. The amount credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment is equal to the Performance Rate multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date. This will be used to determine the Segment Ending Value. The Indexed Crediting Base is the amount that you have allocated to the Indexed Segment, less any transfers or withdrawals during the Indexed Term deducted proportionately by the amount that the transfers or withdrawals reduced the Interim Value. Withdrawals include any applicable surrender charge, premium tax or rider fees and charges. The Performance Rate is used to determine the value credited after all adjustments. If the Performance Rate is positive, the value of your Indexed Segment will increase. If the Performance Rate is negative (after calculation including the Protection Level), the value of your Indexed Segment will be reduced. If the Performance Rate is zero, the value of your Indexed Segment will not change. The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Accounts on the End Date and to calculate the Interim Value. This amount is not available for surrender, withdrawal, reallocation, annuitization or as a Death Benefit. The following examples show the Performance Rates assuming an initial Dual Performance Trigger Rate of 6% and a Protection Level of 10%. Depending on market conditions, subsequent Dual Performance Trigger Rates may be higher or lower than the initial Dual Performance Trigger Rate. Subsequent Dual Performance Trigger Rates may differ from the Dual Performance Trigger Rate used for new contracts or for other contracts issued at different times. The Company will determine new Dual Performance Trigger Rates on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of contracts.

Item 2. Overview of the Contract [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Overview, Limits Positive Return [Text Block] a Dual Rate, which will either provide a minimum rate of return if the Index performance is between zero and the Dual Rate, or will be added to the Index performance if the Index performance is negative. An Index Account with a Dual Rate will also have a Performance Cap, which is the highest Performance Rate that we will credit if the Index performance exceeds the Dual Rate. For example, if the Index return is 60%, and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 50%; if the Index return is 4% and the Performance Cap is 50% and the Dual Rate is 15%, we will credit 15% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, your Segment Ending Value will increase by 15%.

Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology Example [Text Block] Indexed Segments with Dual Plus. The Dual Plus Indexed Accounts offer a Dual Rate and Performance Cap for an Indexed Segment that we declare at the beginning of the Indexed Term that are both used in determining the Segment Ending Value. The Performance Cap is the maximum Performance Rate that can be credited to the Indexed Segment for an Indexed Term for which it is declared. For example, if the Index return is 60%, and the Performance Cap is 50%, we will credit 50% in interest on the End Date of the Indexed Segment, meaning your Segment Ending Value will increase by 50%. The Performance Cap may vary depending on the Index and the Indexed Term length. The Performance Cap will not change during the Indexed Term. The Dual Rate will not vary depending on the Index or the Indexed Term length and will not change from one Indexed Term to the next. Typically, Indexed Segments with Dual Rates have higher Performance Caps. The initial Performance Cap applies to the initial Indexed Term. The Company will declare, at its discretion, a Performance Cap for each subsequent Indexed Term. If no Performance Cap is declared for an Indexed Term, there is no maximum Performance Rate for that Indexed Term. In no event will a Performance Cap be lower than what is shown in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract. Information about current Performance Caps can be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and is incorporated into this prospectus by reference.The Performance Rate equals (1) the Dual Rate if the percentage change of the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date for an Indexed Term is zero, or is positive and equal to or less than the Dual Rate; or (2) the percentage change up to the Performance Cap if the percentage change is higher than the Dual Rate; or (3) the Performance Cap if the percentage change is higher than the Performance Cap; or (4) the percentage the Index has decreased plus the Dual Rate, if the Index Value at the end of the Indexed Term is less than the Index Value at the beginning of the Indexed Term. If the Performance Rate is negative, the value of your Indexed Segment is reduced.The amount credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment, is equal to the Performance Rate multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date. This will be used to determine the Segment Ending Value as set forth below. The Indexed Crediting Base is the amount that you have allocated to the Indexed Segment, less any transfers or withdrawals during the Indexed Term deducted proportionately by the amount that the transfer or withdrawal reduced the Interim Value. Withdrawals include any applicable surrender charge, premium tax, or rider fees and charges. The Performance Rate is used to determine the value credited after all adjustments.The Performance Rate is the percentage change in the Index Value from the Start Date to the End Date, adjusted by the Dual Rate and Performance Cap Rate. The percentage change is calculated by subtracting the Index Value as of the beginning of the Indexed Term from the Index Value at the end of the Indexed Term. The difference is then divided by the Index Value as of the beginning of the Indexed Term. The Segment Ending Value on the End Date is equal to the sum of A plus (A multiplied by B) where:A = the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date and B = the Performance Rate.The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Accounts on the End Date and to calculate the Interim Value. This amount is not available for surrender, withdrawal, transfer, annuitization or as a Death Benefit. The following examples illustrate how we calculate and Performance Rate assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals. The following examples show the Performance Rates assuming a Dual Rate of 15% and an initial Performance Cap of 75%. Depending on market conditions, subsequent Performance Caps may be higher or lower than the initial Performance Cap. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times. The Company will determine new Performance Caps on a basis that does not discriminate unfairly within any class of contracts.

Index-Linked Option Risk [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Risk, Interest Crediting [Text Block] Gains in your Dual Plus Indexed Segment are limited by any applicable Performance Cap, which means that your return could be lower than if you had invested directly in a fund based on the applicable Index. The Performance Cap exists for the full term of the Indexed Segment. Performance Caps for new Segments will be declared at least 5 business days in advance of the beginning of a Segment. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or other Contracts issued at different times.

Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology [Line Items]                      
Index-Linked Option Details, Crediting Methodology Example [Text Block] Indexed Segments with Performance Caps with Annual Locks. For an Indexed Segment with Annual Locks, the Performance Rate will be calculated in the same manner as without Annual Locks (see discussion above), except it will be calculated on each Index Anniversary Date. The performance will NOT be credited to or deducted from the Indexed Segment, however, until the End Date of the Indexed Term (at the end of the 6th year). The amount of the performance credited or deducted from the Indexed Segment on the End Date equals the sum of the annual performance amounts on each Indexed Anniversary Date, adjusted for any withdrawals, transfers, or annuitization. On the first Indexed Anniversary Date, the performance equals the Performance Rate change multiplied by the Indexed Crediting Base. This performance amount is added to or deducted from the Indexed Crediting Base. This adjusted Indexed Crediting Base becomes the Indexed Crediting Base for the next one-year period. On each Indexed Anniversary Date thereafter, the return for the year is credited to or deducted from the Indexed Crediting Base and the adjusted Indexed Crediting Base carries over to the next one-year period. As a result, a loss you incur in one year will reduce the amount invested for the next year. In a continuing down market, you could lose in excess of the applicable Protection Level. For example, if the Protection Level is 10%, in a continuing down market, you could lose more than 90% of your investment. On the other hand, a gain you incur in one year will increase the Indexed Crediting Base for the next year, upon which future gains (if any) will be calculated. The Segment Ending Value will equal the value of the Indexed Crediting Base on the End Date (after the adjustment for performance on the last Indexed Anniversary Date).The Indexed Crediting Base is used only to calculate the performance of Indexed Segments on the Indexed Anniversary Date and to calculate the Interim Value. This amount is not available for surrender, withdrawal, transfer, annuitization or as a Death Benefit. In addition to the Indexed Crediting Base adjustment for performance, withdrawals and transfers reduce the Indexed Crediting Base in the same proportion that withdrawals and transfers reduce the Interim Value.The initial Performance Cap applies to the initial Indexed Term. The Company will declare, at its discretion, a Performance Cap for each subsequent Indexed Term. Subsequent Performance Caps may differ from the Performance Cap used for new Contracts or for other Contracts issued at different times. If no Performance Cap is declared for an Indexed Term, there is no maximum Performance Rate for that Indexed Term. In no event will a Performance Cap be lower than what is shown in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under The Contract. Information about current Performance Caps can be found at www.lfg.com/llarates and is incorporated in this prospectus by reference. The following examples illustrate how we calculate the Performance Rate assuming hypothetical Index returns and hypothetical limits on Index gains and losses. The examples assume no withdrawals.
