The LEDCO Aluminium Profile #89 is engineered from premium-grade extruded aluminum that serves a critical dual purpose: it provides a rigid, protective mounting structure for LED tape light while simultaneously acting as a passive thermal management system. Aluminum's natural thermal conductivity draws heat away from LED chips, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures that preserve light output and extend the overall lifespan of your LED strips significantly compared to unmounted installations.
The profile accommodates a frosted or clear diffuser lens — depending on configuration — that evenly distributes light output and eliminates the harsh dot pattern commonly seen with exposed LED strips. This diffusion contributes to a high-quality lighting effect with uniform brightness across the entire length of the channel. When paired with LED strips that offer a high CRI rating, the result is accurate, natural-looking color rendition ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces where light quality matters most.
From an installation standpoint, the profile is designed for versatility. It can be surface-mounted, recessed into millwork, or suspended depending on your project requirements. Mounting clips and compatible end caps simplify the process, making it suitable for both professional electricians and experienced DIY homeowners. The lightweight yet rigid construction ensures a secure fit in drywall channels, cabinetry grooves, and custom carpentry applications without sagging or warping over time.
For Canadian homeowners prioritizing safety and quality, the LEDCO brand is certified to Canadian electrical standards and trusted by lighting professionals across the country. When paired with a properly rated efficient LED driver and quality LED strip light, this aluminum profile system delivers meaningful energy savings compared to traditional lighting methods such as halogen puck lights or fluorescent under-cabinet fixtures — all while providing a modern, streamlined aesthetic that elevates any renovation project.
