This profile is constructed from \u003cstrong\u003epremium aluminium \u003c\/strong\u003ethat provides your strip lights with protection and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium offers a robust housing for your favourite LED strips, helping keep them safe from exterior elements that could damage them, such as dust, moisture, and impacts. These aluminium profiles are ideal for homes with active children and pets or for commercial and retail spaces where high foot traffic is expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium profiles \u003cstrong\u003eadd structure and finesse\u003c\/strong\u003e, making your setup look more polished, even if it’s a DIY. It's a big leap from LED strips that are installed bare, making the setup seem cheap and unprofessional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMilky Diffuser for Smooth, Even Light Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne common issue with LED strip lighting is \u003cstrong\u003eglare\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially when installed in open areas (i.e., not hidden from sight, such as in coves, behind the TV, or under furniture). Harsh light aimed directly at your eyes can cause eye strain, fatigue, and even headaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emilky diffuser cover \u003c\/strong\u003eof this aluminium LED profile helps in preventing all that from happening. It softens and distributes LED light uniformly, reducing hotspots (the visible LED “dots”) and glare. Even if it's within your eyeline, it's not uncomfortable to sit directly across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover also enhances your LED strips' light output, creating a beautiful, evenly lit line that elevates the aesthetic appeal of any modern interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e2 Metre Length for Continuous Runs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis aluminium profile features a lengthy \u003cstrong\u003e2-metre span \u003c\/strong\u003ethat’s ideal for long LED lighting projects. This is perfect for installations that need extended straight lines of light, such as under-cabinet LED strip lighting, living room or bedroom feature walls, and display lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA longer profile reduces the need for attaching multiple pieces. This makes installations faster and more efficient. Large areas such as living rooms, master bedrooms, and dining rooms benefit greatly from this LED profile, ensuring a clean, professional-looking layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s also no need to worry about bends and warping, thanks to the sturdy aluminium housing. This LED profile is designed with convenience in mind, perfect for DIY enthusiasts and professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStylish White Finish to Match Modern Interiors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern interiors are all about combining functionality and style. It has replaced the ornate Victorian style with a more minimalist aesthetic, emphasising simplicity and clean lines. This LED profile’s \u003cstrong\u003ewhite finish\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly embodies this modern approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white housing blends seamlessly into light surfaces and decor, offering a professional look, no matter which type of LED strip you use. Paired with the white milky cover, it can add elegance to the space, brightening corners that would otherwise be dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis aluminium profile is ideal for modern spaces, complementing styles such as \u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eChic \u003c\/strong\u003eand the timeless \u003cstrong\u003eScandinavian \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eMinimalist \u003c\/strong\u003elook. Nevertheless, there's no rule set in stone. You are free to try different ways to integrate this piece into your design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSurface Mount Design for Easy Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis LED aluminium profile is designed for easy, stress-free \u003cstrong\u003esurface mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e. Everything is included, like clips, end caps, and fasteners, to ensure a secure, clean installation. Mounting your LED strips with pre-applied adhesive backing is not a reliable installation method, especially if you’re looking for a more permanent solution. The adhesive can weaken and fail over time, causing the strips to fall. Adhesive mounting also requires extensive surface preparation, such as cleaning and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake note that this only includes the aluminium profile and the mounting accessories. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/led-tape\"\u003eLED strips\u003c\/a\u003e are sold separately. But worry not, because you can check out Simple Lighting’s vast collection to find the perfect strip for your lighting project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for LED Strip Protection \u0026amp; Heat Dissipation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat dissipation\u003c\/strong\u003e is also another strong suit of this aluminium profile. It acts as a heat sink, absorbing the heat the strips generate and helping prevent build-up that can cause overheating and other related issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLED lights (strips included) convert more of the electricity they receive into light and less into heat, unlike traditional incandescent lamps, which waste around 80% of the energy in heat. But this does not mean that LED lights never generate heat, hence the need for better heat dissipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aluminium-profile\"\u003eLED profiles\u003c\/a\u003e are also \u003cstrong\u003erated IP20\u003c\/strong\u003e, adding a layer of protection against dust and physical contact. IP20-rated fixtures are best suited for indoor installations only as they’re not designed to withstand outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simple Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56960082968920,"sku":"3367","price":9.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/7020\/1688\/files\/3367-p1.jpg?v=1774288851","url":"https:\/\/www.simplelighting.co.uk\/products\/2m-aluminium-led-strip-profile-with-a-white-finish-milky-diffuser","provider":"Simple Lighting LTD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
