The Canolight 5412 Up & Down Bendable Aluminum Profile is part of a curated line of architectural lighting channels designed to elevate LED strip installations beyond the ordinary. The up and down extrusion design allows light to be emitted from both the top and bottom of the channel simultaneously, creating layered, volumetric lighting effects that add depth and drama to any space. This dual-direction diffusion is ideal for accent lighting, cove lighting, and feature wall applications.
The bendable aluminum construction is the defining feature of this profile. Unlike rigid aluminum extrusions that require custom cuts, corner connectors, or complex mitering, this flexible channel can be hand-bent to follow the natural curvature of walls, arched ceilings, rounded columns, or organic architectural forms. The aluminum retains its shape once bent, ensuring a clean and stable installation that holds its curve over time.
Included with each 8-foot silver profile is a matching silicone diffuser cover that clips securely into the channel. Silicone provides superior flexibility compared to standard polycarbonate diffusers, making it the ideal companion for a bendable profile — it flexes without cracking, even in tight curves. The frosted finish of the silicone cover ensures even light distribution by softening hot spots and creating a uniform glowing line along the entire length of the strip.
The silver aluminum finish of the CL-Alu-5412UD-SL offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic that suits a wide range of interior design styles, from minimalist to transitional. The profile is compatible with most standard LED strip tapes available on the market, making it a versatile solution for both new construction and retrofit projects. Its professional-grade build quality ensures long-term durability in demanding interior environments.
For contractors, architects, and lighting designers working on curved architectural elements, the Canolight Bendable 5412 Up & Down profile eliminates the complexity of working around curves without sacrificing the polished, intentional look of a finished LED installation. Available through Lumibox and LEDCo across Canada, this profile represents a practical and elegant solution for custom LED lighting applications.
