The LEDCO Aluminium Profile #535 in Black is precision-engineered from high-quality extruded aluminum, a material chosen specifically for its excellent thermal management properties. LED strip lights generate heat during operation, and without proper heat dissipation, LED lifespan and performance can degrade over time. This aluminum channel acts as a passive heat sink, drawing heat away from the LED strip and allowing it to operate at optimal temperatures — extending the life of your lighting investment significantly compared to mounting strips on wood or drywall alone.
This profile is designed to accommodate LED strips that deliver a high CRI rating, ensuring that the colors in your home appear rich, natural, and true to life. When paired with an efficient LED driver and quality LED tape — both available separately — the system delivers substantial energy savings compared to traditional halogen or fluorescent under-cabinet and accent lighting solutions. The included diffuser lens evenly distributes light output, reducing glare and eliminating visible LED points for a smooth, uniform lighting effect.
For installations in kitchens, bathrooms, or other moisture-prone areas, this profile can be paired with IP-rated LED strip lights suitable for damp or wet locations, giving you flexibility across a wide range of residential applications. The channel supports straightforward DIY installation — it can be surface-mounted or recessed depending on your design preference and the specific mounting clips or accessories used. Cutting the profile to your desired length is simple with standard tools, making it highly adaptable to any project layout.
LEDCO products are built to meet rigorous North American quality and safety benchmarks. When integrated into a complete system using cUL or CSA approved drivers and LED strips, your finished installation will comply with Canadian electrical standards and local building codes. This gives homeowners peace of mind knowing that their lighting upgrade is not only beautiful but also safe, reliable, and built to last for years of daily use.
