  21. What is a diffuser in LED aluminium profiles?A diffuser is a cover that is used to spread the light from the LED strip evenly across the surface of the aluminium profile, reducing hotspots and creating a more uniform light.
  22. Are LED aluminium profiles available in different colors?Yes, LED aluminium profiles are typically available in a variety of finishes including aluminium, black, and white to match your decor.
  23. Can LED aluminium profiles bend?Some LED aluminium profiles are designed to be bendable, allowing for installation around curves. However, many profiles are rigid and cannot be bent.
  24. What accessories are available for LED aluminium profiles?Accessories for LED aluminium profiles may include end caps, mounting clips, diffusers, and suspension kits.
  25. What is the maximum length of LED aluminium profiles?The maximum length of LED aluminium profiles typically ranges from 1 to 3 meters, but this can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific profile.
  26. What's the difference between frosted and clear diffusers?Frosted diffusers scatter the light, creating a softer, less direct light, while clear diffusers allow light to pass through more directly, producing a sharper, more focused light.
  27. Can LED aluminium profiles affect the color of the LED strip light?The aluminium profile itself does not typically affect the color of the LED strip light. However, the color may appear different depending on the type and color of the diffuser used.
  28. How do I clean LED aluminium profiles?LED aluminium profiles can be cleaned using a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Always ensure the LED strip light is turned off before cleaning.
  29. What are corner LED aluminium profiles?Corner LED aluminium profiles are designed to be installed in corners, allowing the LED strip lights to be mounted at a 90-degree angle.
  30. What are pendant LED aluminium profiles?Pendant LED aluminium profiles are designed to be suspended from the ceiling. They are often used for creating linear pendant lighting fixtures.
  31. Are there any LED aluminium profiles designed for specific areas like stairs or under cabinets?Yes, there are specially designed profiles for such areas. Stair profiles are designed to be installed in stair nosings, while under-cabinet profiles are designed for mounting under kitchen cabinets.
  32. How do I measure the LED aluminium profile for my installation?You need to measure the length of the area where you plan to install the profile. Also, consider the width and height of the profile to ensure it will fit in your space.
  33. Do LED aluminium profiles come with LED strip lights?Some LED aluminium profiles come with LED strip lights, while others are sold separately. Check the product details before purchasing.
