In a bright room with white drywall, the best light fixture is the one you cannot see. The LED Aluminum Profile #86 in white is a white recessed LED channel designed to make the light source invisible, so a white ceiling or wall simply seems to glow along a clean line. Also searched as a recessed aluminum profile for LED strip lighting, a white LED extrusion or a built-in LED aluminum channel, it is the go-to detail for contemporary condos, new homes, galleries and bright commercial spaces. Its compact form factor permits a wide range of uses: ceilings, walls, niches, shelving and cabinetry.

This SKU, LCPROF-86-16FT-WH, is the white version in a 16 ft length, perfect for long ceiling or wall runs; the series also exists in 4 and 8 ft, and custom fabrication up to 192 inches is available. The profile is designed for recessed installation and made of 6063-T5 aluminum; it can be installed both indoors and outdoors and can be painted to match your decor, for example to follow an off-white or a coloured wall. It accommodates and protects the majority of LED strips of the range, white or colour RGB-RGBW. The technical drawing lists 27.5 mm (1.083 in), 19.4 mm (0.767 in), 16.4 mm (0.646 in), 12 mm (0.472 in) and 9 mm (0.354 in). It is certified for the Canadian market with a 3-year warranty.

Picture a continuous line of light across the white ceiling of a Vancouver condo, a gallery wall in Montréal, a bright dental office in Kitchener or a white kitchen in a new build in Gatineau: the white edge of the #86 blends into the drywall and the LED strip does the rest. If you want the channel closed, choose the white #86 profile in 16 ft with opaque lens; for shorter sections, the LED aluminum profile #86 in 8 ft keeps the same design. Bright rooms deserve invisible LED lighting.

White, recessed, discreet
The 86 series is designed for recessed installation and to make the light source invisible. In white, reference LCPROF-86-16FT-WH is made for the most common surfaces in Canadian homes and offices: white drywall ceilings, white walls, white cabinetry and white millwork. Once installed, this white LED profile blends into the surface and the eye sees only the line of light, which is exactly the minimalist look designers want in a modern renovation.

Material and LED strips
The extrusion is made of 6063-T5 aluminum and can be installed both indoors and outdoors. If the wall is not pure white, the profile can be painted to match your decor. Inside, it accommodates and protects the majority of LED strips of the range: a warm white LED strip for a living room or a bedroom, a neutral white one for a kitchen or an office, or an RGBW strip for a space that goes from white light to colour, such as a lounge or a boutique.

Planning the installation
Recessing the profile means setting it into a groove or cut-out in drywall, wood, a bulkhead or a cabinet. Check the technical drawing for exact dimensions before cutting, plan the wire path and the location of the LED driver before walls are closed, and have any line-voltage connection made by a licensed electrician. At 16 ft, this length suits long, uninterrupted lines; for exact sizes, custom fabrication goes up to 192 inches, and the series also comes in 4 and 8 ft.
