Give your LED strip lighting the clean, built-in look of a real architectural fixture. The 10 feet recessed aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX747) — also called an aluminum channel, LED extrusion or aluminum extrusion for led strip lights — is a recessed track that sits flush inside drywall so all you see is a crisp, continuous line of light. It hides the strip, the solder points and the hot spots, protects the tape from dust and bumps, and pulls heat away from the LEDs so they keep their colour and brightness far longer than a strip stuck straight onto a surface. SKU 10FLUX747.

This is the LUX747 model, a U shape (recessed) profile made from ALCOA 6063-T5 aluminum alloy for a rigid, straight, refined finish. It measures 34 mm wide by 17 mm high and is offered in a 10 feet (3.05 m) length, so you cover long runs with fewer joints and fewer visible seams. Integrated aluminum fins sit over the drywall and conceal cut edges and small imperfections, which saves a lot of touch-up work on site. Spring clips are available as an option for a fast, secure installation. The channel accepts LED strips up to 14 mm wide, including IP20, IP65 and certain IP67 (3528 LED) tapes; wider IP67 strips will not fit, so check your tape width before cutting.

Recessed LED strip lighting in this profile is beautiful in kitchen ceilings and bulkheads, hallways, staircases, home theatres, bathroom soffits, closets and bedroom cove lighting, and just as convincing in commercial work: reception desks, retail displays, corridors, restaurants and offices where clients want a seamless line instead of visible tape. For shorter runs or tighter jobsites, the same model is offered in the 8 feet aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX747). Because of its length, this 10 feet profile is available at our service counter only and cannot be shipped by mail. Plan your run, pick up your lengths and give your project that flush, custom finish.

Built to disappear into the ceiling
The LUX747 is a recessed aluminum profile for LED strip extruded from ALCOA 6063-T5 alloy, a grade chosen for straightness and a clean surface finish. The U shape body drops into the drywall opening while the integrated fins rest on the finished surface, covering the cut line and hiding the little imperfections that always show up around a routed slot. The result is an extruded aluminum housing that reads as part of the architecture rather than an add-on. Aluminum also acts as a heat sink: the strip transfers its heat into the channel instead of cooking itself, which helps preserve lumen output and colour consistency over the life of the tape.

Strip compatibility, the detail that matters
Before you order your tape, measure it. This channel takes LED strips up to 14 mm wide, which covers most standard IP20 indoor tapes, IP65 silicone-coated tapes and certain IP67 3528 strips. Heavier IP67 tapes with a thick outer jacket are often wider than 14 mm and simply will not seat in the profile, so confirm the width on your strip's own spec sheet. Keep in mind the cutting marks on your tape as well: plan your runs so each cut point lands where you want the line of light to stop, and leave yourself access for the power feed at one end.

Installation and jobsite tips
The profile is designed to be recessed into drywall, typically in a slot cut in a ceiling, a bulkhead, a soffit or a cove. Optional spring clips make the job quick and secure: set the clips in the opening, then push the channel home. Cut the aluminum to length with a mitre saw and a fine-tooth blade, deburr the ends, and dry-fit before painting or taping. With a 10 feet (3.05 m) length you cross a long hallway or a full kitchen island with fewer joints, which means fewer visible seams and a straighter line overall. Feed your low-voltage wiring to a driver located in an accessible spot, and always confirm the driver capacity against the total wattage of the strip you install.

Where it shines and what to read next
Designers use this recessed channel for kitchen ceilings, staircases, hallways, home theatres, bedroom coves, bathroom soffits and walk-in closets, and contractors use it every day in reception areas, retail millwork, corridors, restaurants, clinics and offices where a seamless line of light beats visible tape. Need a shorter run or an easier piece to handle on site? The same model is available as the 8 feet aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX747). Full dimensions are listed in the technical PDF available in the Documentation tab. Because of its size, this 10 feet profile is available at our service counter only and cannot be sent by mail.
