The LEDCO Aluminium Profile #45 is precision-engineered from high-grade aluminium to serve as an effective thermal management solution for LED strip installations. By drawing heat away from the LED chips, the aluminium housing helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, which directly contributes to extended LED lifespan and consistent light output over time. This passive heat dissipation means your LED strips run cooler and more efficiently than they would if surface-mounted without a proper channel.
When paired with quality LED strip lights and an efficient LED driver, this profile system supports installations that deliver a high CRI rating for true-to-life colour rendering — an important consideration for kitchens, bathrooms, and any space where accurate colour appearance matters. The included diffuser cover helps produce smooth, even illumination free from visible hot spots, creating a soft linear glow that enhances the ambiance of any room.
This aluminium extrusion is designed with flexibility in mind, accommodating a range of LED strip widths and compatible with various mounting methods including surface mounting, recessed installation, and suspended configurations. Depending on your project requirements, the profile can be used in IP-rated assemblies suitable for damp or wet locations such as bathrooms and covered outdoor areas, when combined with appropriate sealing accessories and strips rated for moisture exposure.
All LEDCO products are built to comply with cUL and CSA safety standards, giving Canadian homeowners confidence in the quality and reliability of their lighting installation. By transitioning from traditional halogen or incandescent accent lighting to an LED strip and aluminium profile system, homeowners can achieve significant energy savings while enjoying superior light quality. Installation is straightforward for both professional electricians and experienced DIYers, with the profile easily cut to length on-site to suit custom applications.
