Description
Create a professional, neat and fully integrated line of LED lighting with this recessed aluminium LED profile. Designed for installation within suitable walls, ceilings, furniture and joinery, the profile provides a clean and modern housing for compatible LED strip lighting.
Each profile is supplied in a 2 metre length with a milky diffuser and end caps. The diffuser helps soften the light output and improve the appearance of the illuminated line, while the aluminium body provides a durable and tidy finish.
With external dimensions of approximately 52.1mm wide × 13.3mm high, this recessed aluminium profile is suitable for a wide range of indoor LED lighting applications. The elegant silver finish makes it ideal for both residential and commercial projects.
Available in total lengths from 2 metres to 100 metres, this profile is suitable for domestic installations, property developments, retail fit-outs and larger commercial lighting projects.
A plaster-in LED profile is designed to become part of the finished wall or ceiling rather than remaining visibly surface-mounted. The perforated wings are fixed to the plasterboard or prepared surface and then covered with suitable jointing compound or plaster.
After finishing and decoration, the aluminium wings are concealed and the visible result is a crisp, continuous line of light. The aluminium channel also supports the LED tape and helps transfer heat away from the strip.

FAQs
No. This listing is for the aluminium profile, milky diffuser and end caps unless a selected product option specifically states otherwise.
No. Every profile is 2 metres long. For example, the 10M option contains five separate 2M lengths.
The internal channel is approximately 20.7mm wide. Always check the actual width of the LED tape, solder joints and connectors before ordering.
The perforated wings provide a fixing and keying surface for jointing compound or plaster. Once covered and decorated, the wings are concealed.
The mounting wings and outer aluminium body are concealed. The milky diffuser and illuminated opening remain visible.
Yes. The aluminium profile and diffuser can be cut using suitable tools. Remove any sharp edges or swarf before installing the LED tape.
Yes. The diffuser is removable so the LED tape can be installed, inspected or replaced.
It is primarily intended to be installed before final plastering and decoration. Retrofitting may require cutting, plastering and repainting.
The profile should not be treated as a waterproof enclosure. Wet-area or outdoor installations require suitably rated LED tape, drivers and electrical equipment.
COB LED tape provides a more continuous-looking line of light than conventional LED tape. Combined with the milky diffuser, it creates a smoother finished effect.
A complete installation normally requires compatible LED tape, a correctly sized LED driver, suitable cable and connection accessories. RGB tape also requires a compatible RGB controller.
