Aluminum Channel for LED Linear Lights
$0.42
Core Benefits: Solve 3 Key LED Strip Pain Points
Tired of exposed LED strips looking cheap, collecting dust, or emitting harsh glare? Our aluminum recessed U-shaped LED channel is a "hidden housing" designed specifically for strip lights:
- Conceal Clutter, Boost Cleanliness: Tuck strips fully inside the metal channel to hide messy wires and adhesive residue, leaving only smooth, seamless light.
- Protect Strips, Extend Lifespan: The metal casing shields strips from dust, moisture, and physical impact – doubling their lifespan compared to exposed installation.
- Soften Light, Elevate Ambiance: The U-shaped channel’s reflective inner walls diffuse direct strip light into a soft, even glow – perfect for "no-main-light" modern aesthetics.
Material & Craftsmanship: Durable + Stylish
Made from 6063-T5 aluminum alloy (construction-grade premium material) with precision extrusion:
- Rust & Corrosion Resistant: Anodized surface treatment creates a waterproof, moisture-proof barrier – safe for high-humidity spaces like kitchens (grease + steam) and bathrooms (constant dampness).
- Efficient Heat Dissipation: Metal’s thermal conductivity (10x better than plastic) quickly disperses strip heat, preventing "light decay" or burnout for stable, long-term performance.
- Versatile Finishes for Any Style:
- Matte Black: Suits modern minimalist/industrial spaces – understated and unobtrusive.
- Ivory White: Blends with cream/nordic-style walls for a cohesive look.
- Brushed Silver: Ideal for Light Luxury and Tech-Style Scenarios, with an Inherent Premium Metallic Finish
Design & Compatibility: Fits Most Strips, Flexible Installation
Tailored U-shaped structure for LED soft strips, with thoughtful details:
- Universal Strip Compatibility: Accommodates 5–12mm wide strips (works with 90% of standard single-color/RGB LED strips on the market – no extra adapters needed).
- Seamless Splicing for Long Runs: Precisely engineered end joints let channels connect gap-free – ideal for long spaces (living rooms, hallways) without visible breaks.
- Multiple Sizes for Different Scenarios:
- 10×10mm (Slim): Perfect for thin ceilings, cabinet edges, or tight corners.
- 12×12mm (Standard): Fits most wall recesses, accent walls, and general use.
- 15×15mm (Wide): Supports broader strips for high-brightness commercial display walls.
Two Easy Installation Methods: For Any Project Stage
Method 1: Adhesive Mount (Post-Renovation)
Ideal for non-destructive installation on finished surfaces:
Cut to Size: Use a hacksaw or angle grinder to trim the channel; sand edges lightly to remove burrs.
Clean & Apply Adhesive: Wipe the channel back and mounting area free of dust or oil; spread strong construction adhesive evenly on the channel.
Position & Secure: Press the channel to the target spot, then hold with masking tape for 24 hours to let the adhesive cure fully.
Insert Strip: Once dry, slide the LED strip into the channel and connect power.
Method 2: Screw Clip Mount (During Renovation)
Best for pre-renovation recessed setups:
Prep Recess/Holes: Cut a groove (or drill holes) in the wall or ceiling matching the channel size.
Secure Clips: Fasten spring clips (included) with screws every 50cm inside the recess for stability.
Snap in Channel: Align the channel with the clips and press gently to lock into place (easy to remove or reinstall later).
Install Strip: Insert the LED strip, connect power, and test.
Use Cases: Perfect for Any Space Needing Ambient Light
This U-channel works for nearly all hidden strip light needs:
- Home Spaces:
- Ceiling Recesses: Replace harsh main lights with soft indirect glow for cozier living rooms or bedrooms.
- Accent Walls: Recess into TV/sofa wall grooves to add depth and visual interest.
- Cabinet Undersides: Install under kitchen or wardrobe cabinets for gentle night-time task lighting.
- Office Spaces:
- Meeting Room Ceilings: Reduce screen glare with diffused light to boost meeting productivity.
- Cubicle Partitions: Add strip lights to partition tops for eye-friendly task lighting.
- Commercial Spaces:
- Retail Display Walls: Use wide channels with bright strips to highlight products and enhance appeal.
- Corridors: Mount 10cm above floor level for low-brightness night guidance (non-intrusive for guests).
