The NEXLEDS Flat Angle Narrow Drywall Aluminum Extrusion is precision-engineered from high-grade aluminum alloy, providing excellent structural rigidity while serving as an effective thermal management system for your LED strip lights. Aluminum's natural heat dissipation properties draw warmth away from the LED chips, reducing thermal degradation and significantly extending the operational lifespan of your lighting. This passive cooling approach means no moving parts and no maintenance — just reliable, long-lasting performance.
This extrusion is designed to be fully recessed into standard drywall, creating a trimless, flush-mounted lighting detail that eliminates visible hardware. The flat angle design directs light output in a narrow, controlled pattern, making it ideal for wall grazing, accent lighting, and architectural detail work. When paired with a high-quality efficient LED driver and LED strips featuring a high CRI rating, the result is beautiful, true-to-life color rendering that enhances the look of your interior spaces.
Compatible LED strip options include variants that are cUL and CSA approved, ensuring full compliance with Canadian electrical standards. Depending on the LED strips and drivers selected, this system can deliver significant energy savings compared to traditional halogen or fluorescent lighting alternatives — often reducing energy consumption dramatically while providing equal or superior illumination. The extrusion accommodates strips available in multiple wattage options and selectable color temperatures to suit any application.
Installation is straightforward for experienced DIY renovators and professional electricians alike. The extrusion is designed to be mud-in mounted, meaning it integrates directly with drywall compound for a perfectly seamless finish. A compatible frosted or clear diffuser lens snaps into the channel to soften light output and eliminate visible LED hot spots. All electrical connections should be completed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local Canadian electrical codes to ensure a safe and code-compliant installation.
