Extra Deep Aluminium Channel 17.1mm x 14.5mm

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 17.1x14.5mm
• Max Tape Width: 12mm
• Material: Anodized Aluminium 

Applications:

• Office and Commercial Spaces: In spaces where more substantial, more diffused lighting might be required, such as reception areas, or display cases.
• Display Cases and Art Lighting: Extra Deep Aluminium Channels can be used to illuminate artwork or items in display cases, providing even lighting due to the increased internal depth.
• Shelving and Under-Cabinet Lighting: Especially in settings where a brighter, more diffuse light source is needed, such as in kitchens with darker countertops.

Additional information:

• Available in silver, black and white colours
• Clear, semi clear and opal diffusers available
• Perfect for use with LED strips with less LEDs per metre
• Can be recessed or surface mounted with the separately sold mounting brackets.

Extra Deep Aluminium Channel LED profiles provide a unique set of benefits compared to more standard, shallow LED profiles.

The use of Extra Deep Aluminium Channel LED profiles can enhance the overall performance and aesthetic of LED strip installations by reducing the effects of spotting, even with strip lights that have as little as 60 LEDs per metre.

The trade off for this will mean a slight hit on brightness levels, but the overall aesthetic is sure to make up for the slightly dimmer lighting.

Hints and tips:

Diffusers

Diffusers will affect the brightness and CCT (colour temperature) of an LED tape when housed in a LED channel or profile. 

• Transparent Diffuser: 90-95% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through
• Semi-Clear Diffuser: 70-75% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through
• Opal Diffuser: 45-50% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through

As well as the brightness, diffusers will also alter the kelvin temperature of the installed LED strip light by approximately 10%. Opal diffusers will make the kelvin temperature/CCT appear warmer, semi clear diffusers will make the Kelvin Temperature/CCT appear cooler and transparent diffusers will have no effect.

As an example, a 6000K 1000 lumen per metre LED strip light installed inside a metre length of LED channel using an opal diffuser would create a light bar with an overall output of approximately 5600K and 450 to 500 lumens.

Non-spotting finish

To achieve a highly desired non spotting finish, consider using this profile with an LED that has 60 LEDs per metre or more. As a rule of thumb, the more LEDs per metre on your chosen strip light, the less chance there will be of a spotting/dotting effect. 

Bespoke lengths available

Ultra LEDs are one of just a few providers in the UK to supply custom channel lengths for easier installation. Simply get in touch for a bespoke quotation.

Perfect for indoor use in dry and damp environments. 

This profile is made from fully anodized aluminium and is corrosion proof; meaning it's ideal for using indoors in dry environments and in damp environments such as bathrooms when installed using a suitably IP-rated LED strip light.
