EXTRUSIONS FOR LED: WHEN SHOULD I USE ALUMINUM LED PROFILES?

By placing your LED tape in an extrusion, you can create a more “finished” appearance compared to the non-installed PCB, which is ideal if the product is installed in a location where it is clearly visible.

What are the benefits of LED extrusions?

Aluminum extrusions with LED light strips help prevent contact damage if the LED tape is placed within easy reach. And although they are not waterproof, extrusions can help prevent moisture. (For added protection against water, consider installing an IP67 LED tape on extrusions.)
ALUMINUM LED PROFILES
These LED lights have a range of extrusion profiles, each with different advantages. They include our optical lens extrusion, which actually "sheds" the light even closer by narrowing the beam of the LED ribbon and adds a luxurious finish to the LED strip lights.

What is the difference between LED extrusions and LED profiles?
There's no difference. The terms "aluminum extrusion" and "aluminum profile" are interchangeable.

What types of LED extrusions are available?

  • Deep surface
  • Deep surface extrusion
  • Shallow recessed
  • Hollowed out extrusion
  • Hollowed out deep
  • Deep cupped extrusion
  • Tube surface
  • Extrusion of the tube surface
  • Thin surface
  • Thin surface extrusion
  • Corner
  • Corner extrusion
  • Optical lens
  • Optical lens extrusion

Where to use LED extrusions

Aluminum extrusions can improve and improve all kinds of LED strip light installations. They are an ideal addition to restaurants, hotels, bars, and clubs.

What is the length of an LED extrusion?

Standard LED light strips also offer splash-proof (IP65) or fully waterproof (IP67) tapes, sealed with heat sink coatings.
If you choose to cut an IP67 tape yourself, it will no longer be guaranteed to be waterproof ... but you can completely reseal the tape to its original protection level using a heat gun and a heat sink.

How to install an LED extrusion

The extrusions can be fixed in place with countersunk screws, directly in the extrusion. Alternatively, you can buy fixing brackets if you prefer. These can be joined in place, and once they are in position, their extrusion can be attached to them.

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN BUYING LED STRIPS

Image
Where do you want your LED strip? Will it be the main lighting, the characteristic lighting or the ambient lighting?  Are the textures and reflectivity of the surrounding surfaces adequate? Tip: the goal is to see the lighting effect but not the real light source;  otherwise, you will see individual LEDs as "dots" of light, rather than a gentle wash effect.  If the LED strip will be visible (the ceiling LED lights, for example), then you can use one of our LED extrusion profiles to diffuse the individual LEDs and create a uniform and uniform light bar. How bright/intense do you want the emitted light to be? Different effects and levels of light can be produced by different types, numbers and colors of LEDs in a strip, and by using extrusions or profiles. (To test the chosen position, you can temporarily install an LED strip with adhesive tape and then fix the strip with your self-adhesive only when you are satisfied with the final effect). Is the surfac...

HOW TO ILLUMINATE FOOD AND MEAT WITH LED LIGHTS

Image
Is it difficult to find a balance between offering a wide variety of fresh foods and, at the same time, minimizing waste?  While creating an inspiring shopping experience?  Proper lighting can have a big impact on the success of your fresh food department.  Accent lighting of fresh foods is the perfect recipe for a delicious presentation while extending the shelf life of your fresh products. Benefits of presenting fresh food insight The best presentation According to research, people remember that the color of fresh products is more saturated than they really are.  And when it comes to choosing a product, consumer preferences go further: they want an even more saturated color than they remember.  The right lighting recipe can optimize the presentation and improve sales.  Preserve quality Bad lighting affects the quality of fresh produce.  The right lighting recipe helps keep food fresh for longer, which means a longer shelf life and less w...
