An LED profile, also known as an LED aluminum channel or LED extrusion, is a protective housing designed to enclose LED strip lights. LED profiles are typically made from aluminum, a material known for its excellent heat dissipation capabilities, which helps to prolong the lifespan of the LED strip lights.
In addition to protecting the strip lights from physical damage, LED profiles can also enhance the aesthetics of an LED strip light installation. They provide a more polished, professional look compared to strip lights attached directly to a surface.
LED profiles often come with a diffuser cover – typically made of plastic – that helps to spread the light evenly and reduce the visibility of individual LEDs, creating a smooth and uniform light output. They may also come with end caps and mounting brackets for easy installation.
LED profiles are used in a wide range of lighting applications, including under-cabinet lighting, retail display lighting, accent lighting, and architectural lighting, among others. They can be installed in various indoor and outdoor locations and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different installation needs and design preferences.
