Description
This is a recessed LED profile in white aluminium: a slim channel that houses an LED strip and sets it into a surface. It comes as a single three metre length, 10mm by 9mm in section, and weighs 1.2KG. A narrow trim runs along each side of the opening and sits on the surface once the channel is in place, giving the line of light a crisp, finished edge. What you receive is the profile alone. The LED strip, the driver and the end caps are all sold separately, so plan for each of them before fitting the profile.
We suggest the Arcus profile to anyone planning a continuous line of light built on an LED strip, where a bare strip would look unfinished. Recessing the strip into the channel sets it inside the surface rather than on show. The white trim sits quietly against a white finish around it, so attention goes to the light rather than the hardware. Before ordering, check the strip you have in mind against the profile's limits: it takes a strip up to 5mm wide and rated up to 8W per metre. A wider or more powerful strip is the wrong match for this channel.
The profile is aluminium, and aluminium is a light metal that conducts heat well. The finish is white throughout, inside the channel as well as along the trim. The strip runs from a remote driver, which sits away from the profile and is sold separately. As with any lighting connected to the mains, a qualified electrician should install the driver. End caps are not included either, so allow for them when you plan the run.
