Our 17x8mm LED aluminium profile is a popular choice among LED strip light installers because of its compact dimensions and versatility. It’s size means it's neither too obtrusive nor too slim, making it a good balance for a variety of applications.

 

Given its size and design, our 17x8mm LED aluminium profile is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a minimal yet effective lighting solution.

 

It provides a way to integrate LED strip lighting seamlessly into a design or environment without the lights being too obtrusive.

 

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 that has 120 LEDs per metre or more and consider using an opal diffuser. 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.

Perfect for indoor use in dry and damp environments. 

This profile is made from fully anodized aluminium and is corrosion proof; meaning it's ideal for using indoors in dry environments and in damp environments such as bathrooms when installed using a suitably IP-rated LED strip light.
