LED profiles

An LED profile, either recessed or externally fixed, contains an LED strip inside, which can be applied in a very wide variety of contexts. It can be made of different materials such as aluminum and polycarbonate, and it is also equipped, in most cases, with a diffuser that distributes light evenly.

Choosing an LED profile involves evaluating several specific factors, first and foremost the choice of material: aluminum is the most appropriate material as it has excellent heat dissipation capabilities, however, polycarbonate profiles are also available.

In addition, the place of installation must be considered; in fact, LED profiles can be installed under kitchen cabinets, inside drawers, or on furniture and other furnishings such as bathroom mirrors.

The type of installation is also important, recessed for a clean finish, or external, which is easier to install since no milling is required.

The profile should blend naturally into the ambience and architecture in which it is placed and should be compatible with the technical specifications of the chosen strip.

LED profiles are extremely versatile and can be installed in drawers, base units, wall units, and mirrors. Suitable for materials such as sheet metal and wood they actually can be used on a whole range of interior spaces, such as kitchens, living, sleeping and bathroom areas, as well as sectors such as contract and horeca.
