The LUMENTRUSS Aluminum Profile 1650 is precision-engineered from 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 chips can degrade prematurely. By mounting your strip lighting inside this aluminum channel, heat is drawn away from the LEDs efficiently, helping to maintain a high CRI rating and consistent color output over the full lifespan of your installation.
This profile is designed to be compatible with a variety of LED strip light widths and power densities, giving you the flexibility to pair it with different wattage options and selectable color temperature strips depending on your application. Whether you're running low-output accent lighting or higher-output task lighting under kitchen counters, the aluminum body ensures reliable thermal conductivity and long-term performance. The channel accepts standard diffuser covers — sold separately — to soften light output and eliminate visible hot spots.
From a certification and safety standpoint, LUMENTRUSS products are built to meet rigorous Canadian standards, including cUL and CSA approval, so you can install with confidence knowing the product has been tested and listed for the Canadian market. The profile's construction also supports installations in a range of environments, making it suitable for both dry and appropriately rated indoor locations throughout the home.
Installation is straightforward for both DIY homeowners and professional electricians. The profile can be surface-mounted using clips or adhesive, or recessed into routed channels in wood and millwork for a flush, integrated appearance. It is easily cut to length on-site with standard tools, allowing for custom-fit installations tailored to your exact layout. When paired with a quality LED driver and compatible strip lighting, this aluminum profile system delivers significant energy savings compared to traditional halogen or fluorescent under-cabinet and accent lighting solutions.
