One LED channel could come in a wide variety of sizes and forms. CLEAR offers a wide variety of profiles for LED lighting fixtures for different installations and environments, so users can choose the type he or she needs depending on the situation. This article guides you through all LED strip channel options and the applications that best fit.
Standard Aluminum LED Channel
Aluminum LED profile is used for uplighting that is the most common type of lighting. The LED strip light channel is thick and fracture-resistant.
Aluminum LED Diffuser Channel
Aluminum LED Diffuser Channel is available in various heights in order to achieve specific diffusion demands depending on what lighting effect you are looking for. The closer the diffuser is to the light, the brighter and the less diffused the LED light will be. In turn, the further the diffuser to the LED, the less bright and the better diffused the light will be.
The LED diffuser also can be customized as you like it. Generally speaking, the transparent diffuser enables high levels of light transmission up to 95%. The frosted or semi-transparent cover exhibits 85~90% light transmission and milky diffuser transmits 65~70% light. If you want soft and flexible silicone as the diffuser, it will be 70~75% transmission.
Flange Aluminum Profile
Flange aluminum profile or recessed LED channel is flush to the ceiling or wall, an ideal choice for recessed installation. The flange is designed to help conceal the opening and prevent water ingress. The aluminum channel for led strips is thin and light and can fit the light strip snuggly, saving worry about deforming the light.
Serrated Aluminum Channel
Serrated aluminum channel is built for suspension installation or ceiling mount. The internal elastic rack forms a buffer between the light and the profile to protect the flexible light from possible friction damage from during the installation and disassembly process while maintaining a uniform and firm linear clip to the fixture.
The elastic serrated PET tape inside LED light strip channel is stable in nature and remains insusceptible to temperature change, ensuring the light is securely fixed in the channel without worrying about slipping off. When the light is installed up in the ceiling, you want your profile to have a firm grip on the fixture. Because if there is not enough gripping force to hold the light in place, it might fall out of the channel after hanging for a period of time.
Bendable Serrated Aluminum Channel
Bendable serrated aluminum led profile, inspired from serrated channel above, can hold vertical or horizontal bending lights. You can shape the channel as you like it and it is superb for curve installation.
Thickened Plastic Channel
Thickened plastic profile will be a perfect fit for submersible LED lights in a swimming pool or fountain. The linear led profiles have thickened PC extrusion molding to be better at resisting corrosion and stronger clamping force.
316 Stainless Steel Channel
316 stainless steel profile is designed for highly corrosive liquids such as seawater. The inner bulges help secure the light in place.
Hybrid Channel
316 stainless steel profile is designed for highly corrosive liquids such as seawater. The inner bulges help secure the light in place.
Conclusion
Let’s do a quick recap.
- standard LED aluminum profile for upward lighting
- serrated aluminum channel for suspended and vertical installation
- flange aluminum profile for flush mounting
- thickened plastic profile for long-term submerged neon
- 316 stainless steel profile for highly-corrosive liquid such as seawater
- hybrid profile for three-side emitting lights
