The NEXLEDS Outside Angle Drywall Aluminum Profile is engineered from high-grade extruded aluminum, providing excellent structural rigidity and superior thermal management for the LED strips it houses. Aluminum construction acts as a passive heat sink, drawing heat away from the LEDs and helping them maintain consistent output over a significantly longer lifespan. This thermal dissipation is critical — it protects the diodes from premature lumen depreciation and ensures your lighting investment performs reliably for years to come.
This profile is designed to be compatible with high CRI LED strip lights, allowing you to achieve accurate, true-to-life colour rendering throughout your space. When paired with a quality efficient LED driver and compatible LED tape, the system delivers smooth, flicker-free illumination that is far superior to traditional incandescent or halogen accent lighting. The energy savings over conventional lighting methods are substantial, reducing power consumption while providing equal or greater light output.
The included frosted diffuser lens eliminates visible LED hot spots and creates a uniform wash of light along the entire length of the channel. This diffusion is essential for achieving that sought-after linear lighting effect where individual diode points are invisible to the eye. The profile's design ensures the diffuser snaps securely into place, protecting the LED strip from dust and light contact during and after installation.
Installation is completed during the drywall finishing stage, where the profile is set into the outside corner joint and then mudded and taped alongside the surrounding drywall. Once finished, only the slim diffuser lens remains visible, sitting perfectly flush with the wall surface. The product is certified to Canadian electrical standards and is cUL approved, giving you confidence that it meets the rigorous safety requirements for residential and commercial installations across Canada. Pairing this profile with IP-rated LED strips also allows for use in moisture-prone areas where added protection is needed.
