The Canolight Bendable Series profile 640 is specifically designed to solve one of the most common challenges in LED strip installation: achieving smooth, continuous light along curved or non-linear surfaces. The 8ft (approximately 2.44m) silver aluminum channel can be manually bent to follow the contour of arched ceilings, curved cabinetry, circular columns, and custom millwork. This eliminates the need for mitered cuts or junction fittings at corners, resulting in a seamless and professional lighting finish.
The up-down light direction feature of the 640 profile is a key differentiator for architectural and decorative applications. By directing light both upward and downward simultaneously, installers can create dramatic wall washing, ambient glow effects, and layered lighting compositions. This makes the CL-Alu-640-SL particularly well-suited for hospitality, retail, high-end residential, and commercial interior design projects that require visual impact and lighting precision.
Included in the package are a PC (polycarbonate) diffuser cover and 2 aluminum end caps. The PC cover softens the LED point source, eliminating visible hot spots and producing a smooth, even light band. The end caps provide a clean termination point that protects the LED strip ends from dust and mechanical damage, ensuring a long-lasting and tidy installation. All components are sized to fit the 640 aluminum extrusion perfectly.
Heat management is a critical factor in LED strip longevity, and the 640 series aluminum profile excels in this regard. The extruded aluminum body acts as a passive heat sink, drawing thermal energy away from the LED strip and maintaining optimal operating temperatures. This thermal regulation can significantly extend the service life of your LED strips, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring consistent lumen output over time — a major advantage in commercial and long-run residential installations.
The Canolight CL-Alu-640-SL is available through LEDCo (ledco.ca) and is part of a comprehensive range of LED channel profiles and extrusions serving Canadian electrical contractors, lighting designers, and renovation professionals. Pair it with your preferred LED strip — whether single-color, tunable white, or RGB — to create custom lighting solutions that are as functional as they are visually striking. Available in 8-foot lengths with a sleek silver finish, this bendable profile is a go-to choice for projects that go beyond straight-line installations.
