Description
The Arcus surface LED profile is a slim black aluminium channel, two metres long, that holds an LED strip and gives it a neat, finished line. In section it measures 8mm by 9mm, a U-shaped channel open along one face, and the whole length weighs 0.16KG. What arrives is the profile alone: the LED strip, the driver and the end caps are not included, so plan for all three before you start.
As a surface profile it fixes onto the face of a shelf, a cabinet or a wall rather than being set into a cut groove. That makes it the practical choice where routing a channel is not possible or not wanted. The black finish sits quietly against dark joinery, dark paintwork and black metal, so the eye catches the line of light rather than the housing. It suits anyone adding strip lighting to furniture or architecture who wants the strip held straight and tidy instead of stuck bare to the surface.
Aluminium is light and draws heat away well, which is why it is the usual material for an LED profile. This one takes an LED strip up to 5mm wide, and the maker rates it for strips of up to 8W per metre, so check both figures on the strip you choose. The maker pairs it with a remote driver, meaning the driver sits away from the profile rather than inside it. Where that driver meets the mains supply, the connection is work for a qualified electrician. Order the strip, the driver and the end caps together, so the run is ready to finish in one go.

Frequently Asked
Does the Arcus profile come with an LED strip?
No. The profile arrives on its own. The LED strip, the driver and the end caps are all sold separately and are not included.
Which LED strip does this profile take?
It takes an LED strip up to 5mm wide, and the maker rates it for strips of up to 8W per metre.
How big is the profile?
It is two metres long with a cross-section of 8mm by 9mm, and the full length weighs 0.16KG.
Is this profile recessed or surface mounted?
It is a surface profile, so it fixes onto the face of a shelf, a cabinet or a wall rather than being set into a groove.
What driver does the profile need?
The maker pairs it with a remote driver that sits apart from the profile. The driver is not included, so choose one to suit your LED strip.
What material and finish is the profile?
It is black aluminium, a light metal that draws heat away well, formed into a U-shaped channel that holds the strip.
