Bendable LED aluminum profiles are flexible channels for LED strip lights, allowing for installation in non-linear and irregular spaces, especially where traditional rigid profiles wouldn't fit or work.

Given their flexibility and the advantages they bring, bendable LED aluminum profiles of the size 18 x 5.7mm offer both functional and aesthetic lighting solutions for a myriad of applications.

Hints and tips:

Diffusers

Diffusers will affect the brightness and CCT (colour temperature) of an LED tape when housed in a LED channel or profile. The separately sold semi clear diffuser means 70-75% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through.

As well as the brightness, diffusers will also alter the kelvin temperature of the installed LED strip light by approximately 10%. Opal diffusers will make the kelvin temperature/CCT appear warmer, semi clear diffusers will make the Kelvin Temperature/CCT appear cooler and transparent diffusers will have no effect.

As an example, a 6000K 1000 lumen per metre LED strip light installed inside a metre length of LED channel using an opal diffuser would create a light bar with an overall output of approximately 5600K and 450 to 500 lumens.

Non-spotting finish

This is a shallow profile so it is recommended to use this profile for indirect lighting applications. To achieve a highly desired non spotting finish, consider using this profile with a COB LED strip light. As a rule of thumb, the more LEDs per metre on your chosen strip light, the less chance there will be of a spotting/dotting effect. 

Bespoke lengths available
