The LEDCO Aluminum Profile #90 in black serves as a dedicated thermal management solution for LED strip lighting. Aluminum extrusions like this one draw heat away from the LED chips embedded in your strip light, significantly reducing operating temperatures. Cooler operation means your LEDs maintain their high CRI rating and consistent color output over a much longer lifespan compared to strip lights mounted directly on surfaces without proper heat dissipation.
This profile is compatible with a wide range of LED tape lights and drivers, including options that feature an efficient LED driver with flicker-free dimming capability. When paired with quality LED strips and a reliable power supply, the channel delivers smooth, uniform light distribution through its diffuser lens — eliminating the visible hot spots that are common with unshielded strip light installations. The system supports various brightness levels and selectable color temperature strips to suit any application.
From a certification and compliance standpoint, LEDCO products are designed to meet rigorous Canadian safety requirements. When used as part of a complete LED strip lighting system with cUL or CSA approved components, this profile helps ensure your installation is code-compliant and inspection-ready. The robust aluminum construction also provides physical protection for the LED strip, making it suitable for high-traffic areas, closets, garages, and other spaces where durability matters.
Installation of the Profile #90 is straightforward for both homeowners and professional electricians. The aluminum channel can be cut to length with standard tools and secured using mounting clips or adhesive backing, depending on your application. Whether you are surface-mounting it under a cabinet, recessing it into a routed groove, or running it along a ceiling cove for indirect ambient lighting, this profile system streamlines the process and delivers a polished, architecturally finished result that elevates any renovation project.
