An aluminum LED channel that follows the curve
The CANOLIGHT CL-Alu-1913-SL-8FT (Bendable) is a 1913 bendable aluminum profile in silver, supplied in an 8 ft length with end caps. Unlike a standard rigid channel, it is designed to bend left and right and up and down, which means it can follow curves in the horizontal plane, such as a rounded counter, as well as in the vertical plane, such as an arched ceiling or a curved stair stringer. It gives curved LED strip installations the same tidy, housed appearance you expect from straight runs.
Why use a bendable profile
An LED strip on its own can follow a curve, but it rarely looks clean: it shows hot spots, lifts off the surface over time and can twist on tight shapes. Housing the strip in a bendable LED extrusion keeps it supported along the whole curve, holds it at a consistent angle and presents a finished metal line that looks deliberate rather than improvised. For designers and millworkers, it is the missing piece that makes curved lighting details practical on site.
Installation tips
Plan the curve first: trace the path on the surface and dry-fit the profile before fixing anything. Bend the channel gradually by hand along the path rather than forcing a tight bend all at once, and check that the strip will sit comfortably inside before final mounting. Secure the profile along its length so it holds the shape, apply your LED strip inside the channel, feed the wire out at one end and fit the end caps to finish. Where the curve changes direction, fix the profile more frequently to keep it in place. Follow the instructions of your LED strip and power supply for all electrical connections.
Where it is used
This flexible aluminum profile shines in curved cove lighting, rounded bulkheads and ceiling features, curved bars, islands and reception desks, spiral staircases, arched doorways and niches, columns, retail displays and custom signage. Restaurants, hotels, showrooms and upscale homes across Canada use bendable channels like this to highlight architecture that straight fixtures cannot follow.
