The LEDCO Aluminium Profile #320 is precision-engineered from high-quality extruded aluminum, a material chosen specifically for its superior thermal management properties. When LED strip lights operate inside an aluminum channel, the metal housing acts as a passive heat sink, effectively dissipating heat away from the LED chips. This thermal regulation helps maintain consistent light output, prevents premature lumen depreciation, and significantly extends the overall lifespan of your LED lighting system.
Proper thermal dissipation also plays a critical role in preserving the performance of your LED driver and associated electronic components. When paired with an efficient, high-quality LED driver, the Aluminium Profile #320 helps ensure stable current delivery and flicker-free operation throughout the life of the installation. This combination of quality materials and sound engineering means fewer replacements and dependable performance year after year.
This profile is designed to meet rigorous Canadian electrical standards and is compatible with LED strip lighting systems that carry cUL and CSA certification. Depending on the diffuser cover and strip light selected, the assembled system can be configured for various environments, including those requiring an IP-rated solution suitable for damp or wet locations such as bathrooms, covered outdoor areas, and kitchens. It is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to achieve energy savings compared to traditional halogen or incandescent accent lighting.
Installation is straightforward and accessible for both professional electricians and experienced DIY renovators. The profile can be surface-mounted, recessed into routed channels, or suspended using compatible mounting accessories. It is easily trimmed to length with standard cutting tools, and its open-channel design allows for simple insertion of LED tape lights and snap-on diffuser lenses. Whether you are building out new construction or retrofitting an existing space, the Aluminium Profile #320 provides a clean, code-compliant lighting solution that integrates seamlessly into virtually any architectural detail.
