LED Profiles
LED profiles are the cleanest way to hide LED strips, shape the beam, and improve both the appearance and thermal performance of an installation. They are used in kitchens, living rooms, furniture, retail displays, and any project where the strip should not remain visible.

- choose a recessed profile when you want a flush finish
- choose a surface-mounted profile when installation should stay simple
- choose a corner profile when the light needs to wash a wall or countertop
- choose the diffuser based on the look you want and how much light you want to keep

FAQ
What is the difference between a profile and a diffuser?
The profile is the aluminum body that supports the strip and dissipates heat. The diffuser is the cover that softens the light and hides individual LEDs.
Can I use any strip with any profile?
No. You need to match strip width, profile depth, and the type of end cap or connector. Checking compatibility before installation is much faster than replacing parts later.
Which profile should I choose for a kitchen?
For kitchens, the most common choices are recessed or surface-mounted profiles, depending on whether you want a hidden light line or a clean visible line.
