A dedicated profile for the STW2 strip
Wall washing is one of the most effective ways to make an interior feel bright, open and refined: instead of lighting the floor, you light the vertical surfaces people actually look at. The CANOLIGHT CL-STW2-ALU aluminum profile is the housing made for the STW2 wall washer strip light. It holds the strip in a rigid, straight channel so the light is aimed consistently and the wash stays even along the full length of the wall.
Aluminum construction
Made of aluminum and supplied in 1 metre lengths, the profile is light enough to install overhead and stiff enough to stay straight across long spans. Cut it with a non-ferrous metal blade, file the edges smooth and mount it. Lengths can be installed end to end for continuous lines along corridors, façades and long feature walls. The exact dimensions and mounting accessories are listed in the spec sheet available in the Documentation tab, so review it when planning recesses or surface mounting.
Installation guidance
Choose the mounting position according to the effect you want: at floor level to graze the wall upward, at the ceiling to wash downward, or in a soffit, cove or ledge for a hidden source. Mark a level line along the full run, then fasten each profile length to a solid surface with fasteners suited to the substrate, keeping the joints tight and aligned. Place the STW2 strip in the housing, then follow the strip's installation instructions for power and connections. All line-voltage and driver wiring should be carried out according to local electrical code by a qualified electrician.
Applications
Pair this LED aluminum profile with the STW2 strip to showcase natural stone and exposed brick, wood slat walls, textured plaster, artwork and murals, retail merchandise walls, hotel and condo corridors, restaurant dining rooms, office reception walls and exterior façades. At home, it adds drama to fireplace walls, stairwells, headboard walls and tall living rooms, and it is a favourite of designers who want lighting that is felt rather than seen.
Compatibility and ordering
As its name indicates, this profile is an accessory for the CANOLIGHT STW2 wall washer strip lights. Confirm your strip model before ordering, total the length of your run and plan one profile per metre, adding a little extra for cuts. Full details are in the spec sheet in the Documentation tab.
