A kit, not a pile of partsThe idea behind this shower niche kit is simple: give you the right components together so the install goes smoothly the first time. You get the dotless COB
LED strip and the LUX745 recessed aluminum U-shape profile with its premium lens, designed to be set into the tile work of a shower niche, a bench, a shelf or a recessed alcove. The kit covers up to 1.22 m (4 feet) of continuous recessed lighting. Because tile layouts are never the same twice, the strip can be cut every 5 cm, so you trim to your opening instead of forcing your opening to match the light.
Dotless light that flatters tileStandard LED strips use spaced diodes, and behind a clear lens that reads as a row of dots.
COB (chip-on-board) technology spreads the emitters along a continuous line, and combined with the diffusing lens of the profile, the result is a clean, uninterrupted band of light with no hot spots. In a niche, that matters more than anywhere else: the light grazes glossy tile, glass and chrome, and every imperfection shows. This SKU is the
3500K Soft White version, a neutral-leaning white that keeps marble and porcelain looking true and avoids the yellow cast of very warm sources or the clinical feel of cooler ones. The same kit family is also offered in 2700K warm white, 3000K warm white and 4000K natural white.

Installation and electrical notesThis is a
low-voltage 24V system, which is exactly what you want near water: the strip itself is
IP67, and the driver and connections belong outside the wet area, in a vanity cabinet, a ceiling void or an adjacent closet where they stay dry and accessible. Plan the profile position with your tile setter before the waterproofing membrane goes in — the LUX745 is a recessed U-shape extrusion, so it wants a channel in the substrate or a reveal detail at the top of the niche. Running the light along the upper edge, facing down, hides the source from eye level and washes the back tile beautifully. Keep the cable route short and straight, and leave a service loop where the wire exits so a future change is a five-minute job.
Where it works and what's on the pageCondo and basement bathroom renovations, master ensuites, guest showers, spa treatment rooms, hotel suites, gym and clubhouse change rooms — the same detail reads high-end in all of them. Contractors also use the kit under floating shelves and shower benches where a continuous line of light is wanted. Need more length, a second niche or a matching run elsewhere in the room? Build it with the
8 feet recessed aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX745), the same
aluminum extrusion used in this kit. The technical PDF for this kit is available in the Documentation tab for your specs, your electrician and your client file.
