This recessed LED aluminium channel is a great profile for practically any project, whether it's a kitchen, bar or workplace, with a 2.5mm trim on both sides ideal for recessing.

These Recessed Flat Aluminium Channels are ideal for housing and protecting your LED strips. They enable for a recessed installation into grooves or furniture pieces while also preventing undesirable secondary refraction from reflecting surfaces. They also serve as a heat sink for the installed LED stip light, extending their lifespan and reducing any brightness loss over time.

Each channel is available with an opal, semi-clear or transparent diffuser, which helps diffuse the light from each LED in a much more consistent pattern and also prevents glare.

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. 

• Transparent Diffuser: 90-95% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through
• Semi-Clear Diffuser: 70-75% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through
• Opal Diffuser: 45-50% 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

To achieve a highly desired non spotting finish, consider using this profile with an LED tape of more than 120 LEDs per metre or a COB LED strip light. This is a shallow profile so the more LEDs per metre on your chosen strip light, the less chance there will be of a spotting/dotting effect.
