High-Performance Profiles

Our high-performance range includes LED track profiles for directional lighting and specialized solutions for high-power LED applications requiring enhanced heat management.

Specialty Profiles

From ultra-slim LED profiles for discreet applications to RGB LED profiles designed to optimize colour-changing installations, our specialty range addresses unique lighting challenges.

Material & Finish Options

Premium Aluminum

Most of our range features high-grade LED profile aluminum construction, offering excellent durability and heat dissipation. The LED aluminum channel design ensures optimal performance and longevity for your LED strips.

Alternative Materials

For specific applications, we also offer plastic LED profiles that provide lightweight, cost-effective solutions for projects where aluminum isn't required.

Finish Variations

Choose from silver anodized (standard), white, or black LED profiles to complement your interior design and create either subtle integration or striking contrast with surrounding surfaces.

Diffuser Options

Each LED profile cover is available in multiple diffuser options:

• Clear: Maximum brightness with visible LEDs

Technical Considerations

Profile Dimensions

Our profiles are available in various widths to accommodate different LED strip sizes, from standard 10mm strips to wider high-density or COB strips. Profile depths range from ultra-slim 7mm options to deeper channels for enhanced diffusion or heat management.

Installation Specifications

Standard lengths include 1m and 2m sections that can be cut to size or joined for custom installations. Most profiles include pre-drilled mounting points for simple installation, with recommended fixing intervals of 50cm for secure attachment.

Environmental Ratings

For outdoor or moisture-prone environments, choose IP65 LED profiles or LED profile IP67 rated solutions that provide appropriate weather resistance when properly installed and sealed.

Light Output Characteristics

Different profile designs and diffuser combinations create varying beam angles and light distribution patterns. LED extrusion profiles can focus or spread light depending on their design, allowing you to achieve precise lighting effects for your specific application.

Selection Guide

Assess Your Installation Environment

Consider where your lighting will be installed. For dry indoor areas, standard profiles are suitable. For bathrooms, kitchens or outdoor spaces, select IP65 LED profiles or higher ratings.

Determine Mounting Requirements

Decide whether your installation needs surface mounting, recessing into surfaces, or corner placement. Each mounting style requires a specific profile type for optimal results.

Consider LED Strip Compatibility

Ensure your chosen profile accommodates your LED strip's width, depth, and power requirements. Higher-wattage strips often need deeper profiles with better heat dissipation.

Evaluate Light Effect Desired

Different profile shapes and diffuser options create varying lighting effects. Angled profiles direct light specifically, while recessed options create more subtle, integrated illumination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between standard and professional LED profiles?

Professional LED aluminium profiles typically offer superior heat dissipation, better quality diffusers, and more precise manufacturing tolerances. They often include advanced features like deeper channels for better light mixing, specialized diffuser options, and higher-grade aluminum for enhanced durability and performance.

Can LED profiles be cut to custom lengths?

Yes, most LED aluminum profiles can be cut to size using a hacksaw or miter saw with a metal-cutting blade. Always measure carefully, mark your cut line clearly, and use appropriate safety equipment. After cutting, lightly file any sharp edges before installing end caps.

How do I choose between surface mounted and recessed profiles?

Surface mounted LED profiles are easier to install and ideal for retrofitting projects where cutting into surfaces isn't practical. Recessed LED channels offer a more seamless, integrated appearance but require cutting into the mounting surface. Your choice should depend on both aesthetic preferences and practical installation considerations.

Are LED profiles suitable for outdoor use?

Only profiles specifically designed for outdoor use should be installed externally. Look for outdoor LED profiles with appropriate IP ratings (IP65 or IP67) and ensure you use compatible weatherproof LED strips and connections. Proper sealing of end caps and cable entry points is essential for long-term reliability.

How do diffusers affect the light output?

Clear diffusers maintain maximum brightness (90-95% transmission) while providing basic protection. Frosted diffusers reduce LED visibility while allowing 80-85% light transmission. Opal diffusers create the most uniform light with no visible LED dots but reduce output to approximately 70-75%. The right choice depends on whether you prioritize maximum brightness or light quality.

Can I install LED profiles in bathrooms or wet areas?

Yes, but you must select appropriate IP65 LED profiles or LED profile IP67 rated options designed for moisture resistance. Ensure all electrical connections are properly sealed, and installation complies with relevant electrical safety regulations for wet environments.

What's the difference between corner profiles and standard profiles with corner connectors?

Dedicated LED corner profiles are designed specifically for 90° installations, creating a continuous lighting effect around corners without joins or gaps. Corner connectors join two standard profiles at angles but may create a visible seam. Corner LED channels often provide a more professional, seamless result for architectural feature highlighting.

How do bendable profiles work?

Bendable LED profiles and curved LED profiles feature either flexible aluminum construction or specialized design that allows them to be shaped to follow curved surfaces. They typically require gentle, gradual bending to avoid damaging the profile or diffuser. Some designs are pre-curved for specific radius applications, while others can be custom-shaped on-site.

Do I need special tools to install LED profiles?

Basic installation requires measuring tape, pencil, drill, screwdriver, and possibly a hacksaw for cutting. For recessed installations, you'll need additional tools such as a router or appropriate cutting tools for creating the recess. Professional results are easier to achieve with proper tools, especially for cutting aluminum precisely.
