This18mm recessed LED low profile channel is a great way to have linear lighting that is clean, bright, and integrated. This flanged aluminum channel is made for installations where depth is a high consideration. It has a base width of 35mm and a height of 18mm.
The inner width of this shallow profile is 21mm, which is large enough to hold typical wide LED strips or high-density COB tapes. This is vital to make sure that the lighting effect is smooth and has no dots. The robust aluminum profile structure also helps the LED tape lights last longer by letting heat escape easily.
It’s straightforward to set up: just fit the recessed buckle clips into the channel‘s back first, then set the profile in the cutout in the ceiling or drywall and hold it in place. This process ensures that the finished product appears neat and trimless, allowing the channel to blend in with its surroundings and look highly integrated.
