Give your LED strip the clean, glare-free glow it deserves with the 10' 3D Opaque Lens #87, the replacement diffuser made for aluminum profile #87. Whether you call it an LED channel lens, an extruded light lens, a white lens, a light diffuser cover or simply a snap-in cover for LED strip lighting, this is the piece that turns a line of bright diodes into one smooth, continuous band of light. The "3D" shape means the diffuser is contoured rather than flat, so light is spread over a wider surface and the dotting effect of individual LEDs is softened from more viewing angles. It is the go-to part when you are building a new run of linear lighting, extending an existing one, or replacing a lens that has yellowed, cracked or gone missing on site.

Each piece comes in a generous 10-foot length, so you can cover long cove details, cabinet runs and ceiling reveals with fewer joints and fewer visible seams — always a win when the light is on and every butt joint shows. The opaque finish hides the LED strip completely when the fixture is off, giving you a clean white line instead of a row of components behind clear plastic. Cut it to length with a fine-tooth blade, slide or snap it into the channel, and you are done: no tools beyond what is already in the van, no special hardware, no fuss. Order it by SKU LCLENS-OPAQ87-3D-10FT to make sure you get the profile #87 version rather than a lens shaped for another extrusion.

This opaque diffuser lens earns its keep in kitchens and bathrooms, under upper cabinets, in stair nosings, closet shelving, cove ceilings, headboards and toe-kicks, and just as well in commercial work: retail display cases, reception desks, gym mirrors, office millwork and restaurant bars. It fits Canadian renovation and build-out projects where the design calls for light, not fixtures — contractors and homeowners both appreciate a diffuser that makes a hand-built channel look factory-made. This lens is designed for LED profile #87; for other extrusions in the same family, see the matching lenses below. Add the length you need to your project list and keep a spare on the shelf for the inevitable job-site mishap.

Built for one job: making LED light look seamless
A bare LED strip is a row of tiny, very bright points. Look at it directly and you see dots, hot spots and shadow lines; put a proper diffuser in front of it and you see a single glowing line. The 10' 3D Opaque Lens #87 is that diffuser. Its three-dimensional profile — curved rather than flat — carries light around the face of the extrusion, so the beam reads evenly whether you are standing under it, beside it or catching it in a mirror. That matters most in the places people actually look at: undercabinet light reflected in a glossy backsplash, a cove detail seen from across a living room, a display case at eye level.

Length, cutting and installation
At 10 feet per piece, this lens is sized for long, uninterrupted runs. Fewer sections mean fewer joints, and fewer joints mean fewer faint dark lines where two diffusers meet. On site, measure the finished channel run first, then cut the lens slightly long and trim to a snug fit; a fine-tooth blade, a mitre box or a sharp utility knife scored and snapped all work, depending on how the lens behaves at the temperature of your shop. Dry-fit before you peel the tape on your LED tape light — it is much easier to slide a diffuser into an empty channel and confirm the fit than to fight it once the strip is stuck down. Leave the protective film on, if the piece has one, until the millwork and paint are finished.

Where it gets used
Residential: undercabinet and over-cabinet lighting, pantry and closet shelving, cove ceilings and tray details, stair treads and handrails, bathroom vanities and mirrors, basement bulkheads, garages and workshops. Commercial: retail shelving and display cases, reception and service counters, restaurant bars and booth seating, office millwork, corridor accents, gym and studio mirror walls. In every one of those cases the client is buying the look of light, not the look of a fixture — an opaque LED channel lens is what sells the effect. It is also the smart repair part: when a lens gets stepped on during a renovation, or when an older run has dulled, swapping the diffuser is far quicker than tearing out the channel and the tape.

Matching lenses and documentation
Every extrusion has its own lens geometry, so always match the lens to your profile number. If your channel is not a #87, look at the 8' opaque lens #49, the 8' opaque lens #545, the 8 ft opal diffuser lens for LED profile #44 or the 8' frosted lens #84 #85 #86 #88, which covers several profiles at once. No spec sheet, IES file or installation video is posted for this accessory; the Documentation tab will show any document as soon as one is available. If you are unsure which lens your channel takes, compare the profile number stamped or listed on your extrusion before ordering.
