Built from extruded aluminumThe LUX745 is a full
extruded aluminum channel, not a plastic imitation. The U shape (surface) design gives you a deep, open channel with two side walls that shield the LED strip from side glare and physical contact, while the flat base gives the tape a perfectly straight, rigid surface to adhere to. On a 10-foot run, that rigidity matters: an unsupported strip stuck directly to drywall or wood will sag, wander and show every wave, while a strip seated in an
aluminum extrusion stays dead straight from end to end. The aluminum body also acts as a heat sink, drawing heat away from the LED chips so the diodes run cooler and hold their colour over time.

Choosing the right LED stripThis channel was designed for
led strip lights measuring less than 14 mm wide, which covers most standard IP20 indoor tapes as well as IP65+ and IP67 silicone-coated strips. It is not suitable for wider tapes, including certain IP67 and IP68 formats that exceed 14 mm — always check the width printed on your strip's spec sheet before cutting anything. If you are planning a long continuous run, remember to respect your strip's maximum run length and to feed power from both ends when the manufacturer calls for it, so the far end of your
led strip lighting stays as bright as the first metre.
Installation, mounting and finishingMount the channel first, then install the strip. Lay the profile along your surface, mark your fixing points, and anchor it with screws suited to the substrate — wood, drywall with anchors, or metal. Cut the aluminum to length with a fine-tooth blade or mitre saw and deburr the edges, then run the strip inside, keeping the adhesive fully pressed down along the base. Plan your power entry point and your driver location before you close everything up, and leave the low-voltage wire accessible. Adding matching end caps at each extremity hides the cut edges, keeps dust out and gives the whole installation that clean, custom look. On a
ceiling light strip or cove run, mounting the channel at a slight angle lets you aim the light exactly where you want it.
Applications, availability and documentationTypical uses include under-cabinet and over-cabinet kitchen lighting, island and bar accents, staircase and hallway guidance, closet and pantry lighting, toe-kick details, home theatre coves, garage and workshop task lines, plus retail shelving, display cases, reception desks and backlit signage for small businesses. Because of its 10-foot length, this profile is available at our service counter only and cannot be sent by mail — plan a pickup with your vehicle ready for a long load. For a shorter run or a tighter space, look at the
