Cut your aluminum profile, feed the wire through, snap the cap on — done. This finishing end cap #86 in black with a hole is the small accessory that turns a raw, freshly cut extrusion into a clean, finished line of light. People look for it as an LED channel end cap, an LED strip light end cap, an end plug or a profile cover, and it does exactly what its name promises: it closes the open end of an aluminum channel so you never see the diffuser groove, the cut edge or the exposed strip again. The version with a hole is the one you want at the feed end of the run, because the power lead or connector cable exits straight through the cap instead of being pinched between the extrusion and the wall, the cabinet or the millwork.

Sold as 1 unit under SKU LCENDCAP-STAND-86-H-BK, this cap is moulded in a discreet black finish that blends with dark profiles, black hardware and modern cabinetry instead of drawing the eye. The moulded body gives a snug friction fit that resists vibration, so the cap stays put in a busy hallway or under a run of upper cabinets, and the flat outer face sits flush with the end of the extrusion for a built-in, factory-made look. Like all end caps, it is profile-specific: this one is made for the #86 channel shape, so match the cap to the extrusion you are actually installing. Keeping a hole cap at one end and a solid cap at the other is the classic, tidy combination.

It shines wherever linear LED lighting is on display: kitchen cabinetry and millwork, under-counter and toe-kick runs, stair and hallway accents, closets, display cases, reception desks, offices and workshops — residential and light-commercial projects alike. Canadian contractors and renovators know the drill: profiles get cut on site, and the job is only as clean as its two ends, so keeping a few spare caps in the van is smart practice. Pair it with the matching solid version for closed runs, and explore the rest of the family, including the Finishing end cap #11 with hole, the Finishing end cap #11 no hole and the flexible neon caps below. Add a couple to your order and finish the run right.

What this end cap is for
An aluminum LED channel almost always gets cut to length on site, and that cut leaves an open end: the diffuser channel, the raw aluminum edge and sometimes the strip itself are all visible. This finishing end cap #86 closes that opening. The "with hole" version is designed for the feed end of the run, where the power lead or the connector cable has to leave the extrusion. Instead of squashing the wire between the profile and the wall — which looks improvised and puts stress on the solder joint or the connector — you pass it through the cap and keep the connection point protected and aligned with the profile.

Construction and finish
The cap has a moulded body that provides a snug friction fit, so it holds on its own and resists the vibration you get on stair nosings, shop benches and cabinet doors. The outer face is flat and sits flush with the end of the extrusion, which is what gives a run of LED strip lighting that continuous, built-in appearance rather than a bolted-on one. The black finish is the natural choice when you are working with black profiles, black diffusers, dark millwork or matte black hardware, and it stays visually quiet when the channel is mounted at eye level.

Installation tips
Work in order: dry-fit the channel, the strip and the diffuser first, confirm your length and your feed side, then feed the cable through the hole before pressing the cap home. Deburr the cut end of the extrusion with a file or a quick pass of sandpaper so the cap seats evenly — a rough edge is the number one reason a cap sits crooked or pops off. A small dab of adhesive is optional for overhead installations or high-traffic locations such as stair rails and commercial counters, while leaving one end removable makes future service, driver swaps or strip replacement far easier. Because end caps are profile-specific, always match the cap to the shape of the extrusion in front of you; several styles and finishes exist across the accessory range for surface-mount, recessed and corner profiles.

Where it gets used, and what goes with it
Kitchen uppers and toe-kicks, bathroom vanities and mirror surrounds, closet shelving, stair and hallway accents, display cases and retail shelving, reception desks, offices, garages and workshops: anywhere a linear run is visible, both ends matter. Contractors typically pair one hole cap at the feed with one solid cap at the far end. For other profile shapes and for flexible neon runs, see the Finishing end cap #11 with hole, the Finishing end cap #11 no hole, the Flex neon end cap 6x6 with hole and the Flex neon end cap 6x6 without hole. No spec sheet or IES file is published for this accessory; select it by matching it to the channel profile you are installing, and keep a few spares on hand for the next job.
