LED Aluminum Channels, also known as LED profiles, come in a variety of sizes to cater to the different needs of lighting applications. While the sizes may vary from one manufacturer to another, they typically come in several standard dimensions.
The sizes of the channels usually refer to their internal dimensions, as they determine the width of the LED strip that can be housed within. Some commonly available sizes include:
1. Slim or Narrow Channels:
These typically have an internal width ranging from around 6mm to 12mm. They are designed for single row LED strips and are perfect for compact spaces, accent lighting, or when a discreet installation is required.
2. Standard Channels:
These are typically available in sizes around 12mm to 20mm in width. They are designed to accommodate most standard single-row LED strips and are a versatile choice for a variety of applications, such as under cabinet lighting or general room lighting.
3. Wide Channels:
Wide channels, often around 20mm to 30mm (or even wider), can accommodate double-row LED strips or multiple single-row strips. This makes them ideal for applications requiring high-output lighting, like commercial or outdoor settings.
4. Deep Channels:
The depth of the profile is also important, especially when you want to diffuse the light and reduce the spotting effect. Deeper channels allow for a larger distance between the LEDs and the diffuser, resulting in more evenly diffused light.
Apart from these, LED Aluminum Channels can also be custom-made to fit specific requirements. While selecting a channel size, you need to consider not only the size of your LED strip but also the installation space and the desired lighting effect.
