The NEXLEDS Angled Surface Mounted LED Aluminum Profile is precision-engineered from high-grade extruded aluminum, a material chosen specifically for its excellent thermal management properties. LED strip lights generate heat during operation, and without proper heat dissipation, their lifespan and performance can degrade significantly. This profile acts as a passive aluminum heatsink, drawing heat away from the LED chips and distributing it evenly along the channel — helping maintain consistent light output and extending the overall life of your LED installation.
When paired with quality LED strip lights that feature a high CRI rating, this profile delivers beautiful, true-to-life color rendering that makes your home's finishes, fabrics, and surfaces look their best. The angled mounting orientation — typically at 45 degrees — provides directional illumination that reduces glare while maximizing useful light coverage on work surfaces. Compatible with a range of strip light options including those with selectable color temperature and various wattage configurations, this extrusion adapts to virtually any residential lighting design.
Installation is straightforward and DIY-friendly. The profile can be surface mounted using screws or high-quality adhesive mounting clips, and it is easily cut to length with standard tools for a custom fit. End caps and diffuser covers — available separately — complete the installation for a polished, finished appearance. The snap-in diffuser helps protect the LED strips from dust and light contact while softening the light output into an even, dot-free illumination pattern.
NEXLEDS products are designed to meet rigorous Canadian electrical standards and safety requirements. When combined with a compatible cUL or CSA approved LED driver and strip light system, this profile becomes part of an energy-efficient lighting solution that can dramatically reduce electricity consumption compared to traditional halogen or incandescent under-cabinet and accent lighting. Its robust aluminum construction ensures lasting durability, making it a smart, long-term investment for any home renovation or lighting upgrade project.
