Product Information
Full details
The Ener-J 18mm x 5.9mm Bendable Aluminum Profile is for designers and installers seeking to create custom, curved LED lighting solutions. Its primary benefit is the ability to form smooth, elegant curves that are not possible with rigid profiles. A potential caveat is that while bendable, extreme or sharp bends may compromise the profile's integrity or the LED strip's performance.

FAQs
What is the maximum bend radius for this profile?
While the profile is bendable, specific maximum bend radii can vary depending on installation and LED strip used. It's recommended to bend slowly and avoid sharp angles to prevent damage.
Can I cut this profile to a custom length?
Yes, the aluminum profile can be cut to custom lengths using appropriate tools for metal cutting.
What type of LED strips are compatible?
This profile is compatible with most standard LED strips that fit within its 18mm width. Check your LED strip's specifications.
Does this kit include LED strips?
No, this kit includes the bendable aluminum profile and its polycarbonate cover. LED strips are sold separately.
How is the profile mounted?
Mounting methods can include using specialized mounting clips, adhesive tape, or screws, depending on the surface and desired permanence.
Is the polycarbonate cover clear or diffused?
The profile comes with a polycarbonate cover that provides a smooth, diffused lighting effect.
Troubleshooting
Profile does not hold its curved shape
Ensure the bend is not too sharp. For larger curves, consider using a more robust bending technique or reinforcing the curve with additional support if necessary.
LED strip is visible through the cover
Ensure the LED strip is fully seated within the profile and the PC cover is properly attached. For denser LED strips, a higher LED count per meter will provide better diffusion.
Difficulty inserting LED strip
Ensure the LED strip is the correct width for the profile. Clean any dust or debris from the inside of the profile before insertion.
