Dark ceilings, moody bars, black millwork: some spaces call for lighting hardware that stays in the shadows. The LED aluminum profile #85 (SKU LCPROF-85-16FT-BK-LENS-OPAQ-BK) is a black aluminum extrusion fitted with an opaque lens, designed to house your LED tape and turn it into a soft, continuous line of light. People search for it as an LED aluminum channel, an aluminum profile for LED strip lighting or an extruded aluminum LED housing; whatever you call it, it is easy to install and ideal for residential or commercial projects.

This 16 ft length is made of 6063-T5 aluminum with a black finish, and its opaque lens covers the strip to soften the light. The technical drawing shows a section of 13.2 mm (0.519 in), 16.4 mm (0.646 in) and 19.4 mm (0.767 in), and the profile accommodates and protects a wide variety of white and colour LED strips, RGB and RGBW included. Mount it, suspend it or glue it to a surface, indoors or outdoors; paint it if your decor changes; and count on custom fabrication up to 192 inches, or on the 8 ft lengths of the series, when a run needs a different size. It is certified for the Canadian market and covered by a 3-year warranty.

Home theatres, basement bars, cocktail lounges, restaurants with dark ceilings, upscale boutiques and modern offices all benefit from a black LED profile that frames the light without drawing attention to itself. From Toronto condos to Quebec City restaurants and Calgary showrooms, it gives contractors a clean, repeatable detail. For shorter runs, choose the LED aluminum profile #85 in 8 ft, black with opaque lens; for bright rooms, the LED aluminum profile #85 in white with opaque lens. Order your LED aluminum profile #85 in black and give your LED strips a truly finished look.

Black profile, soft light
This configuration of the 85 series pairs a black aluminum body with an opaque lens (lens code OPAQ-BK in the SKU). Once the strip is installed and the lens in place, the profile delivers a soft, continuous line of light rather than a row of bright dots, and its black body fades into dark surroundings: perfect for a home theatre or a bar with a black ceiling.

Flexible installation
The 85 series is easy to install and ideal for residential or commercial projects. It can be mounted, suspended or glued to a surface, and these LED extrusions made of 6063-T5 aluminum can be installed indoors and outdoors. The aluminum can also be painted to match your decor, and the profile accommodates a variety of white and coloured LED strips, including RGB and RGBW for colour effects.

Ordering and installation tips
This SKU is the 16 ft standard length, perfect for long runs along corridors, ceilings or bar backs; the series also comes in 8 ft lengths, and custom fabrication up to 192 inches is available. The ordering guide lists a standard mounting and a swivel mounting to aim the light, plus end caps with no hole, with a hole, or one of each. Check the width of your strip against the technical drawing, plan the power feed and wire exit, clean the channel before sticking the strip, and install the lens last. Any line-voltage work belongs to a licensed electrician, in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code.

Applications
Suspend it above a bar counter or a dining table for a discreet linear light, run it along the ceiling of a home theatre, outline black kitchen cabinets, or light the shelves of a boutique with a line that disappears into dark fixtures. Outdoors, it can follow a covered patio or a soffit when the LED strip and connections are rated for the location. For shorter runs in black with an opaque lens, see the LED aluminum profile #85 in 8 ft, black with opaque lens.
