Many lighting users are still unfamiliar with recessed LED strips, so today we’ll introduce recessed LED strip profiles in detail. Also known as LED recessed slots, they are widely used in LED strip lighting projects. Installing LED strips within these slots allows them to be embedded in walls and ceilings, achieving better light diffusion and heat dissipation. Furthermore, the slot depth can be varied, producing different light diffusion effects.
Was ist ein LED-Einbauprofil?
LED profiles come in many types, and recessed LED strip profiles are one of them. Recessed LED strip profiles are used in conjunction with diffusers.
The aluminum profiles are embedded in the surface and can be installed on ceilings, walls, or floors. Compared to traditional protruding light fixtures, recessed LED strip profiles maintain a flat mounting surface, avoiding protrusion and creating a seamless and elegant lighting effect.
Therefore, recessed LED strip profiles are a good choice for interior lighting decoration, enhancing the overall style of the room with a simple, elegant, and sophisticated look.
What Types of Recessed LED Strip Profiles are There?
There are two types of recessed LED strip channels: winged recessed LED profiles and non-winged embedded aluminum channel.
LED strip channels can be very shallow, resulting in a very slim profile, suitable for spaces with limited space. They can also be very deep, providing better light diffusion than shallow channels.
Before choosing a winged or non-winged strip channel, you need to consider the edges of the aluminum strip channel you are installing it on. If the edges can be finished smoothly and evenly, consider a non-winged strip channel. Otherwise, only consider winged strip channels.
LED Profile Diffuser Options
Currently, the main choices for LED diffusers are transparent, frosted, milky white, and black. Transparent diffusers have the highest light transmittance. However, they do not provide a diffusion effect, so the light spot will be directly visible when the LED strip is lit.
Frosted diffusers offer high light transmittance and good diffusion, enabling spotless LED strip lighting. Milky white diffusers provide the best diffusion effect, easily achieving spotless lighting, while black diffusers have the lowest light transmittance. Furthermore, various colors can be customized.
How to Install Recessed LED Strip Aluminum Profile?
Proper installation is key to achieving the ideal lighting effect of embedded LED strip light profiles. You can follow the steps below.
Planning the Layout
Before installation, plan the layout and measure the installation area for the profiles. Aluminum channels and diffusers are easy to cut with a miter saw. Alternatively, you can have them custom-made for direct installation.
Use Appropriate Tools
Ensure you have the necessary tools for installation, such as a saw, screws, and mounting brackets, to ensure a secure fit.
Testing the LED Strip
Before installing the aluminum LED profile, test the LED strip to ensure it functions correctly. This will save time and effort during subsequent adjustments.
Secure the LED profiles correctly
Use appropriate mounting brackets or adhesives to secure the profiles. Ensure the profiles are firmly installed and avoid any movement or misalignment.
Schlussfolgerung
Recessed LED light strip profiles are a versatile and effective solution to modern lighting needs. They are aesthetically pleasing, and protective and improve light distribution.
When ordering recessed LED channels, it is important to remember the width of the light strips you will use with them. The internal dimensions of the profile need to be slightly wider than the width of the LED strip you choose. For more information and a variety of LED profiles, visit ESLEDProfile.de.
