What material is the cover made of?

Will this profile work with any LED strip light?

It is compatible with LED strips that fit within its internal dimensions (6.85mm height). For best performance and longevity, use LED strips rated appropriately for the power output and heat generation.

Troubleshooting

LED strip not lighting up

Ensure the LED strip is correctly connected to the power supply. Check that the power supply is functioning and providing the correct voltage. Verify that the LED strip itself is not damaged.

Uneven or flickering light

Check the connection of the LED strip to the power supply for looseness. Ensure the LED strip is fully adhered within the profile and not kinked. If using an older or incompatible power supply, consider replacing it with one rated for the LED strip's requirements.

PC cover is difficult to slide in

Ensure no debris is present in the channel. Check that the aluminium profile and PC cover were cut precisely and are not warped. Gently work the cover into place, ensuring alignment.

Profile feels hot to the touch

This is normal if the LEDs are operating at full capacity, as the aluminium acts as a heat sink. However, if it is excessively hot or the LEDs are dimming, it may indicate poor heat dissipation. Ensure the LED strip is compatible with the profile size and that there is adequate airflow around the installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Determine the required length for your installation. Use appropriate tools (e.g., metal saw) to cut the aluminium profile and the PC cover to size. Ensure cuts are straight for a seamless fit.
  2. Install Mounting Brackets (if applicable): Secure mounting brackets to the desired surface using screws. The profile will then clip or slide into these brackets.
  3. Mount Profile: Fix the aluminium profile to the surface, or into the mounted brackets, ensuring it is stable.
  4. Install LED Strip: Carefully peel the backing from your LED strip and adhere it to the inside of the aluminium profile. Ensure the strip is centered and lies flat.
  5. Attach PC Cover: Slide the polycarbonate cover into the designated channel on the aluminium profile to secure the LED strip and provide diffusion.
  6. Connect Power: Connect the LED strip to its power supply according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for standard width LED strips that fit within the 6.85mm internal width.
  • Suitable for indoor applications only.
  • Can be used with various LED strip types, including single-color, tunable white, and RGB/RGBW, provided they fit the profile dimensions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the aluminium profile and PC cover, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or the polycarbonate.
  • Temperature: While durable, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat sources beyond the specified operating range (+100°C).
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that the PC cover is securely in place and that the LED strip is functioning correctly.
