Surface Mounted Series

What are surface-mounting LED profiles?

They are designed to be mounted directly to a flat surface using double-sided adhesive tape, clips, or magnets to house the LED strip lights and enhance the lighting. They provide a professional finish, while the diffusers evenly spread the light, eliminating glare and creating a smooth, continuous line of illumination that is both modern and aesthetically pleasing.

What is the advantage of surface-mount LED channels?

The surface-mount aluminum channels offer more benefits than others. Firstly, they offer multiple installation methods for wide installation in various scenes. This will provide convenience for light designers and architects. Most models come with plastic or metal clips that make mounting easy. For the slim or narrow size ones, you can use the double-sided tape to stick them under shelves, countertops, or cabinets. If you want to mount them on a metal place, consider the ones that come with magnets. Only insert the magnets and put them on the metal surface. Secondly, the aluminum constructions offer better thermal management and protection. The LEDs generate heat, and by dissipating this heat effectively, the light channels significantly prolong the lifespan of LED lighting. The LED strips are hidden inside the aluminum extrusions to protect them from dust, moisture, and accidental impacts.

A guide to pick the right LED channels

Choosing the appropriate surface mount light profiles involves considering several factors to ensure optimal performance and the desired visual look. Start by considering the installation environment. For kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor use, LED channels and diffusers should be rated for moisture resistance and can accommodate waterproof LED strips. Next, consider the size. The fixtures should be wide and deep enough to house the LED strip lights. Thirdly, the shape is another factor to consider. The straight ones are common, and the corner ones are perfect for creating seamless lighting in coves or shelves. The type of diffusers will affect the lighting effect. A clear diffuser offers bright light output with minimal dispersion, while an opal or milky diffuser provides the most uniform lighting and hides hotspots. Finally, the mounting method is essential too. Choosing the appropriate installation method will make the installation easier. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select the right ones for your projects.
