Description
The Arcus profile is a two metre length of white aluminium channel for an LED strip, made for surface mounting. It is a slim U-shaped section, 8mm by 9mm, open along one side so the strip sits within the channel and its light shows as one tidy line. What arrives is the profile alone: the LED strip, the driver that powers it and the end caps are all sold separately, so this is one part of a strip lighting run rather than a finished light, and it gives no light until a strip and driver are added.
Because it mounts on the surface rather than into a recess, it suits places where cutting a channel into the material is not an option: the underside of a shelf, the inside of a bookcase or alcove, or the top edge of a wardrobe, anywhere a line of light is wanted indoors. The white finish lets it sit quietly against white-painted joinery and ceilings, so the eye notices the glow rather than the channel. At 8mm by 9mm it is small enough to tuck behind a lip or a pelmet where it stays out of sight.
Aluminium is a light, rigid metal, and the whole two metre length weighs just 0.16KG. The profile takes an LED strip up to 5mm wide and rated at no more than 8W per metre, so check both figures on the strip you choose before ordering. The maker pairs it with a remote driver, one that sits away from the profile rather than inside it. As with any mains connection, we would have a qualified electrician fit the driver. Plan the run first: measure how many two metre lengths the space needs, and remember the end caps, sold separately, for a neat finish at each open end.

Frequently Asked
What is included with this LED profile?
You receive one two metre length of white aluminium profile. The LED strip, the driver and the end caps are all sold separately.
Which LED strip will this profile take?
It takes an LED strip up to 5mm wide and rated at no more than 8W per metre, so check both figures before choosing a strip.
How big is the Arcus profile?
It is two metres long and 8mm by 9mm in section, slim enough to sit discreetly along the underside of a shelf or the top of a wardrobe.
Does the profile come with a driver?
No. The driver is sold separately, and the maker pairs this profile with a remote driver that sits away from the profile itself.
Is this profile recessed or surface mounted?
It is a surface profile, so it sits on a flat surface rather than in a cut recess, and no channel needs cutting into the shelf or wall.
What finish does the profile have?
It is finished in white, which lets the aluminium channel blend quietly into white joinery, shelving and ceilings.
