Built from extruded aluminumThe LUX745 is a U-shape channel made of
extruded aluminum, the material of choice for LED strip installations because it is rigid, straight and stable over a full 4-foot span. The U geometry cradles the strip on three sides, keeping the tape perfectly aligned and hiding the wiring channel from view. Aluminum also draws heat away from the diodes — a simple passive heat sink that helps your
LED strip lighting keep its brightness and colour over the years. The extrusion cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth blade or a mitre saw, so you can size each run exactly to your cabinet, shelf or cove and butt several lengths end to end.

Strip compatibility and diffusersThis
recessed LED profile is designed for LED strips measuring less than 14 mm in width. Strips wider than 14 mm — including certain IP67 and IP68 silicone-coated tapes — will not seat properly inside the channel, so measure your
ruban LED or tape before you buy. Several diffuser options are available to control the final look: the clear diffuser renders 98% of the LED strip's light while protecting an IP20 strip from dust and dirt and giving the profile a finished face, while a frosted option softens the output for a smoother line of light. Matching end caps close both ends of the channel for a clean, cabinet-grade result.
InstallationThere are two ways to mount it. Recessed: route or cut a groove sized to the 26.2 mm width and 11.5 mm height, drop the profile in, run and connect your strip, then snap the diffuser in place — the result sits flush with the surface, which is what makes the light look integrated rather than added on. Surface: use sturdy double-sided tape to bond the channel directly to wood, MDF, drywall or metal when a groove isn't practical. In both cases, plan where the power lead exits and leave room for your driver or transformer in an accessible location, as required for low-voltage
LED strip lights installations in Canadian homes and businesses.
Applications and documentationTypical uses include under-cabinet and toe-kick kitchen lighting, cove and tray ceilings, stair and hallway guidance, closet and pantry shelving, vanity and mirror surrounds, bar fronts, display cases, retail shelving, reception desks and office millwork. Contractors often combine several 4-foot sections to line a full counter or ceiling perimeter; for longer uninterrupted runs, the
8 feet recessed aluminum U shape profile for LED strip (LUX745) uses the same U-shape design with fewer joints. The technical PDF for the 4 feet interior-exterior recessed aluminum profile for LED strip is available in the Documentation tab with the full dimensional data for the LUX745.
