2m, Shallow 7mm Surface Mounted LED Aluminium Profile

At just 7mm deep, this ultra-slim surface-mounted LED aluminium profile is designed for installations where space is tight, and visibility must be minimal.

Supplied as a complete 2m kit with diffuser, end caps, and mounting brackets, it converts LED strips up to 12mm wide into a clean, professional linear lighting system for residential and commercial applications.

Ultra-Slim 7mm Profile for Discreet LED Installations

The defining feature of this LED profile is its 7mm depth, allowing discreet surface mounting. It remains virtually invisible once installed, making it suitable for applications where minimal projection is essential. It integrates cleanly into cabinetry, shelving, and architectural details without adding bulk or disrupting sightlines.

The profile provides a streamlined solution for continuous linear lighting. The narrow format allows surface mounting in visible areas while maintaining a restrained appearance, ensuring the fitting does not dominate the installation space or compromise surrounding design elements.

The anodised aluminium construction offers a durable, refined finish suitable for integration with a broad range of surface materials. Its rigid structure supports consistent LED strip light performance and helps dissipate heat to maintain long-term reliability. For accurate on-site adjustment, the length can be cut to size using a hacksaw or chop saw. This flexibility enables exact alignment with cabinetry and joinery dimensions, supporting clean installation across various applications.

Frosted Diffuser Cover for Professional Light Quality

Exposed LED strips can produce visible hotspots and individual dots of light, compromising the overall finish of an installation. This profile includes a frosted polycarbonate diffuser cover that eliminates that issue and delivers consistent light distribution.

The frosted cover diffuses the LED output evenly, transforming concentrated points of light into a smooth, continuous line. The result is a clean, uniform illumination that meets professional installation standards and enhances the perceived quality of the space. It delivers a smooth, continuous light output for a clean linear finish.

In addition to improving visual performance, the diffuser also provides practical protection. It shields the LED strip from dust ingress and accidental contact, helping preserve light quality and system integrity over time. The cover clips securely into the profile without tools, ensuring a straightforward installation while maintaining a precise, secure fit.

Complete Installation Kit with All Mounting Hardware

This ultra-slim LED aluminium profile is supplied as a complete installation kit, including all required components for a seamless surface-mounted installation, eliminating the need for additional parts.

Each kit contains a 2m aluminium profile, a frosted diffuser cover, two end caps, and four metal mounting brackets. The low-profile design allows the fitting to integrate cleanly into tight spaces while maintaining a precise, finished appearance.

The end caps deliver a sealed, closed-end finish that improves overall presentation and protects the internal LED strip. The metal mounting brackets provide a stable, secure surface fixing, ensuring the profile remains correctly aligned during and after installation. All components are precision-matched for compatibility and durability. The profile is ready to install directly from the package, supporting efficient on-site installation and consistent results across projects.

Compatible with Standard 12mm LED Strip Lights

This LED aluminium profile is engineered specifically to house LED strip lights up to 12mm wide. The internal channel dimensions are optimised for a precise fit, ensuring clean integration while maintaining the ultra-slim external depth that defines this profile.

It is compatible with standard single colour LED tape, RGB colour-changing LED strips, and tunable white LED strips, providing flexibility across a wide range of lighting applications. The profile supports both 12V and 24V LED strips, allowing straightforward integration into common low-voltage systems.

This channel is not suitable for waterproof IP65 or IP68 LED strips, as silicone-coated variants exceed the internal width capacity and will not fit correctly. The aluminium body promotes effective heat dissipation, helping to maintain LED performance and longevity when installed correctly. LED strip width and IP rating must fall within the stated specification to ensure correct fitment. Simple Lighting has compatible 12mm LED strip lights designed to fit this profile precisely.

Simple Surface Mounting for DIY or Professional Use

The LED aluminium profile is designed for straightforward surface installation across a wide range of applications. The slim profile allows discreet mounting while maintaining structural rigidity and secure fixing.

Installation follows a clear, practical sequence. First, measure the required length and cut the 2m profile to size if necessary using a hacksaw. Next, mark the mounting positions using a pencil and measuring tape. Secure the metal mounting brackets to the surface with a screwdriver.

Once fixed, click the aluminium profile firmly onto the brackets. Install the LED strip inside the channel, ensuring it is correctly aligned, then push the frosted diffuser cover into place. Complete the installation by fitting the end caps for a sealed, finished appearance.

Installation requires only basic tools like a screwdriver, hacksaw, pencil, and measuring tape, supporting efficient fitting in different environments. This is suitable for DIY users with basic practical skills and for professional electricians. It can be mounted to walls, under cabinets, shelves, or ceilings. Multiple profiles can be joined end-to-end to create extended linear runs, with joints remaining minimally visible for a continuous result.

IP20 Rating – Ideal for Indoor Dry Locations

This fitting is rated IP20, providing protection against solid objects larger than 12mm, with no protection against water ingress. It is specifically designed for use in dry, internal environments where moisture is not present.

Suitable applications include living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, hallways, retail displays, and kitchens in areas away from water splashes. It is also well-suited to under-cabinet lighting and shelving illumination, where controlled indoor conditions allow consistent performance. The IP20 classification makes it appropriate for all indoor installations in moisture-free areas.

This product is not suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, outdoor installations, or any environment exposed to moisture or humidity. Engineered for controlled indoor environments, it delivers reliable accent, task, and architectural lighting where water protection is not required.

Anodised Aluminium Construction with 5-Year Warranty

Manufactured from durable anodised aluminium, this profile resists corrosion and discolouration while supporting effective heat dissipation. Backed by a 5-year warranty, it delivers reliable long-term performance for both residential and commercial installations.

The Dimensions

Each LED profile measures 2000mm (2 metres) in length, providing sufficient coverage for standard linear lighting applications. The external width and the slim depth create a super shallow body, making this one of the slimmest profiles available. Its low-profile design enables discreet integration into cabinetry, shelving, and architectural details without adding a visibly raised outline.

The internal channel measures 12.2mm wide, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of standard LED tape products. The profile is lightweight, enabling straightforward handling and efficient on-site installation. It can be cut to any required length from 0 to 2000mm. For runs exceeding 2 metres, multiple profiles can be butted together end-to-end, with joints remaining barely noticeable once installed. The profile can be cut precisely to size on site to ensure accurate alignment with cabinetry and joinery dimensions.
