aluminium profile light
Aluminium profile lighting uses an extruded aluminium channel to house LED strip lights, creating a clean, diffused, and modern look
. These versatile systems can be custom-cut to fit any space and are suitable for various applications, including ambient, task, and accent lighting.
Popular profile light designs
Recessed profile lights
These profiles are installed directly into a surface, such as a ceiling, wall, or floor, for a flush, seamless finish.
- Minimalist accent lighting: Create clean lines of light along hallways or in coves to highlight architectural features.
- Functional lighting: Use them in kitchens or home offices for bright, uniform task lighting that integrates smoothly with the ceiling.
- Wall panels: Install profiles behind or in between wall panels for a soft, hidden glow that adds depth and mood to a space.
Suspended profile lights
Suspended profiles hang from the ceiling using wires or rods, making them ideal for high ceilings and open-plan spaces.
- Linear pendants: A single suspended profile can create a striking linear light fixture over a kitchen island, dining table, or conference table.
- Geometric arrays: Arrange multiple suspended profiles at different angles and lengths to create a unique, modern art installation.
- Office lighting: Provides even, glare-free illumination over workstations in modern office environments.
Surface-mounted profile lights
These channels are installed directly on the surface of walls, ceilings, and furniture using mounting brackets.
- Under-cabinet lighting: Illuminate kitchen countertops with a streamlined strip of light for improved visibility while cooking.
- Architectural outlines: Highlight the perimeter of a room or window frame for a defined and contemporary effect.
- Cabinet and shelf lighting: Add lighting to display shelves, wardrobes, and other furniture to showcase items.
Corner profile lights
Designed with an angled shape, these profiles fit neatly into corners and are perfect for illuminating 90-degree junctions.
- Staircase lighting: Place them along the edge of each step to improve visibility and safety while adding a futuristic look.
- Display case lighting: Highlight products in retail or personal display cases with targeted, integrated lighting.
- Wall-to-ceiling lighting: Run a profile along the ceiling perimeter to create subtle, ambient cove lighting.
Flexible profile lights
For more creative, non-linear designs, flexible or curved aluminium profiles allow for soft, flowing shapes.
- Curved designs: Create wavy or circular patterns on ceilings or walls for a truly custom and artistic lighting feature.
- Furniture integration: Wrap lighting around curved furniture or shelving for a unique, integrated effect.
Design considerations and customizations
- Diffuser options: A polycarbonate or acrylic diffuser cover is placed over the LED strip to spread the light evenly and hide the individual LED dots.
- Opal/Frosted: Provides the most even, milky white glow with a smooth appearance.
- Clear: Offers maximum brightness but makes the individual LED dots visible.
- Black: A modern aesthetic that hides the light strip when turned off, and illuminates brightly when on.
- Custom shapes and finishes: Profiles are available in various shapes (U-shape, V-shape, round) and can be finished with different colors, including anodized, powder-coated, or polished aluminium.
- Control options: For dynamic lighting effects, profiles can be integrated with smart control systems that allow for dimming, color temperature changes, and color-changing RGB lights.
- IP rating: For outdoor or moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, choose profiles with a waterproof IP rating of IP54 or higher to ensure durability.
