8 feet aluminum U shape profile for LED Strip (LUX747)
8 feet recessed aluminum U shape profile for LED Strip (LUX747)
The LUX747 LED aluminum profile is the pinnacle of style and functionality for your lighting needs, ideal for being recessed into drywall. Spring clips are available as an option for quick, secure, and easy installation. This profile features aluminum fins designed to conceal drywall imperfections, ensuring a sleek and flawless finish.
Offered in lengths of 2.44 meters (8 feet), this recessed U-shaped aluminum profile can accommodate LED strips up to 14mm wide, including iP20, iP65, and certain iP67 (3528 LED). However, it is not suitable for LED strips wider than 14mm, such as some iP67 strips that are too wide for this profile.
For a refined and distinguished look, this profile is made from ALCOA 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, enhancing heat dissipation and making it easy to cut to fit any project size. Its flange edges are designed for recessed installation in a 19mm (3/4 inch) groove, and it is suitable for indoor locations, whether dry, damp, or wet. It is not recommended to install this profile vertically in a wet environment.
To ensure that you really get the look that you want, we have a selection of various diffusers to choose from:
- Clear: the Clear diffuser has the advantage of rendering 98% of the LED Strip’s light while protecting your Ip20 Strip from dust and dirt. The Clear diffuser also gives a finished look to your profile.
- Frosted: The frosted diffuser will render 85% of your LED strips’ light and make the LED chips more discreet while your Strip is turned off. You will still see LED pixels when you turn your Strip on.
- Opaline: Looking for a cost effective, no-dot, continuous effect from a Strip with 120 or more LEDs per meter? The Opaline diffuser is what you are looking for! The Opaline diffuser will totally hide your strip when it’s turned off and render 55% of your Strip’s total light when it’s turned on. Note that this diffuser will affect the CCT of your Strip by about -215K
- Premium: The name speaks for itself! The Premium is the true professional’s choice! This diffuser provides an amazing light output of 73% (a mere loss of 27%) while only affecting the CCT of your Strip by only -30K. It’s the perfect match for our high CRI LED series as it will provide you with a uniform, dot free light effect. We recommend using our either the CRI 90+ 10mm COB LED (also available in CCT White, RGB and RGB+W), the 2216 – 300 LED/m, CRI 90+ Strip or the 3528 – 180 LED/m, CRI of 95+ Strip to obtain a perfect lighting with this diffuser. This diffuser is also great for our 2835 High Output LED Strip. You will not get a continuous lighting effect with Strips at 120 LED/m with the Premium Diffuser.
- Smoked: This black decorative diffuser offers a 86° light diffusion angle and reduces the brightness of the light source by approximately 65%. It is therefore important to plan for sufficient light output. Ideal for concealing the LED profile, it is intended exclusively for ambient lighting and is not recommended for RGB, RGB + white, or CCT adjustable white strips. It’s also important to note that this diffuser alters the color temperature of the light. It lowers the Kelvin value by approximately 350 degrees. For example, a 3000K LED will appear closer to 2650K once the light passes through the diffuser. This effect should be taken into account when planning your project.
For a flawless dotless effect, we recommend using our single-color COB LED strips. As an example, a COB8 strip (900 lumens/m nominal) will deliver approximately 300 lumens/m once the light passes through the diffuser. For increased brightness, consider using the COB10.
This product is designed for subtle decorative effects and is not suitable for task or utility lighting.
