Flexible LED channel
A flexible LED channel is a type of housing designed for LED strip lighting. It typically starts as an extruded aluminum channel, which undergoes secondary processing. Then the aluminum channel is fitted with a flexible silicone diffuser cover.
This flexible led aluminum channel is designed to bend horizontally or vertically. The flexibility feature makes it well-suited for creating various custom lighting shapes and designs, enabling creative and contoured illumination installations.
Consequently, any indoor application where the light needs to follow a curve, wrap around an object, or form a non-linear shape benefits greatly from the use of flexible LED channels.

Flexible LED light channel Features
Free bending
seamless joint
Flexible alumium LED channels can achieve a sleek and seamless lighting design by the integration of a flexible silicone diffuser which runs continuously along the channel. This ensures a uniform distribution of light, even when navigating bends and curves, creating a visually stunning and uninterrupted glow.
wide applications
While primarily designed for recessed and surface mounting, our flexible LED channels allow wide application across various indoor spaces. Imagine them being recessed into living room ceilings to create a complete curved design, or utilized in architectural elements like curved archways and staircases to highlight their unique features. Moreover, their flexibility makes them ideal for a wide range of indoor commercial lighting projects, allowing for the realization of numerous custom designs.
Continuous Seamless Lighting
Our flexible LED channels break through the length limitations of linear lighting, enabling truly continuous extensions. When installed on ceilings, it can extend like flowing light to any required length, unconstrained by space. Furthermore, its flexible feature allows it to be shaped into elegant curves during these extended runs – effortlessly achieving forms like waves or artistic lines. This seamless, dot-free lighting effect is achieved by the flexible silicone diffuser. This special material not only gives the channel excellent bending capabilities but also diffuses the light evenly and softly, perfectly concealing the gaps between LED diodes for a visually uniform appearance.

FAQs about flexible LED channel
What exactly are flexible LED channels?
They are aluminum tracks for holding LED strip lights, but unlike standard straight ones, flexible channels are designed to be carefully shaped into curves, arcs, or waves. They let you install LED lighting along non-linear surfaces.
How much can these aluminum channels actually bend? Is there a limit?
Yes, there’s always a limit, called the ‘minimum bending radius’. This varies depending on the specific channel’s design and size. Be careful not to bend it tighter than the recommended size to avoid damage.
Can I bend these channels myself on site?
Some channels are designed for careful on-site bending by hand or with simple tools for gentle curves. However, for precise shapes or consistent curves, it’s usually to have the channels professionally bent by the supplier using specialized equipment before shipping.
What kinds of shapes can you create with your bendable channels?
We can achieve smooth arcs, flowing S-curves, waves, and even complete circles in some cases
Does bending the LED profile damage the finish (like anodizing or powder coating)?
We apply surface treatments like anodizing or powder coating after the aluminum profile has been bent or shaped. If the finish is applied before bending, the bending process can potentically cause cracking, flaking, or deformation of the surface treatment, especially with tight bends or improper techniques.
Are the plastic diffusers bendable too?
Yes, the corresponding polycarbonate or silicone diffusers designed for these profiles are flexible enough to follow the curve of the aluminum channel. They typically snap or slide in after the profile is shaped and mounted.
Can I still use the accessories like end caps on these profiles once they've been curved?
Yes. The profile’s cross-sectional shape doesn’t change when it’s bent, only its path. So, the standard end caps designed for that specific profile should fit perfectly on the cut ends of a curved section.
Are these bendable profiles typically more expensive than the straight ones?
Yes, bent profiles are typically more expensive than straight standard profiles. This is primarily because the bending process adds significant cost. A custom-bent shape involves extra labor and machine time, which adds to the cost compared to straight profiles.
What are some popular uses for flexible LED channels?
They’re really popular for adding modern lighting accents to curved reception desks, bar fronts, rounded bulkheads, circular ceiling features, columns, staircases, and even creating custom shaped light fixtures or illuminated signage.
If I need profiles bent to my specific drawing, what kind of lead time should I expect?
Custom bending takes longer than shipping stock straight profiles. For the complex custom bending shapes, we usually offer a lead time of 25 to 30 days.
