Chesbung 10 Pack 1Meter/3.3ft V Shape Led Aluminum Channel, Aluminum Profile with Milky White Cover, LED Channels and Diffusers with End Caps, Mounting Clips for LED Strip Light

Perfect, just what I needed doesn’t dim keeps Good

I've been using these for a couple of LED lighting projects and have found them to be strong and easy to work with.Length adjustments are a simple matter of measuring the length you need and then breaking out the trusty hacksaw, they're very easy to cut to length although the covers are a little more brittle so be careful when cutting those.As far as fitting goes, the profiles do come with screws and brackets but I've either screwed them directly in to place (for my lighted bookshelf project) or used double sided tape fixings (for my stair lighting where I didn't want something so permanent). Both have worked well and the end results look great.At this price point (~£40) I'd have no qualms at all recommending these.

Edit...I have now tried the product with leds recommended by the seller and it works much better, although some colours still show individual led it does diffuse the leds better. Keep in when purchasing leds you need your leds to be close together, for 10 meters I used 600 leds. It now does create more of a mood light rather than individual leds so I have now changed my star rating.I bought this on the understanding it would diffuse the leds rather than show them as individual leds, that's what the before and after pics show in the listing. I purchased leds that were recommended in the description however this product didn't diffuse the keds at all so I contacted the seller for advice, the seller then said he highly recommends another set of leds (not listed in the description, so how we would know to buy the highly recommend leds) also highly recommends cob leds which if I was to buy these there would of been no point in me buying this product as cob leds do exactly what this product claims to do. Which I stated this to the seller which he/she then came back and said he recommended another set of leds again these aren't in the description so I wasted money buying the first set. I'm not sure if these highly recommended leds are going to be any better, I've started a return but I'm first going to try these recommended leds. So beware if you buy this product, the leds that are stated to be compatible in the description do not diffuse the leds and the seller will recommend different leds to those listed? Not sure why they can't just list what works best as people will be buying leds that are in the description which for me, the reason I bought this product was to create a more mood light effect rather than the individual led look. I believe if these new leds I've purchased help diffuse the light the product itself will look neat and tidy but if I hadn't of tried a section and cut/laid the product and installed the lights it would of been a complete waste of my time as I would then be having to install the new leds that were recommended. The low stars atm is because of the conflicting information listed compared to what the seller says, however I will be willing to come back and change this if these new leds work better with this product.

I don't believe any similar product completely diffuses the LED lights to an even strip of light, you'll still see the blurred spots of each LED. This product is a big improvement to seeing the bare LED lights if you are positioning the strip lights on a ceiling or walls where they can be seen and gives them a professional-looking finish. Product came with loads of rawlplugs and screws (though some screw too small for the rawlplugs) but I opted for a faster and less invasive approach of attaching 9 x 1cm wide(aprox) strips of double-sided scotch tape to each meter of channeling. Worked a treat. Corner pieces could be better designed to allow placing of LED strips through them (maybe a flip-top opening). After installing the channels and corners on a ceiling I was left in the difficult situation of trying to thread the LED strip through the corner sections. In hind-sight I should have cut the LED strip and used connectors for each corner but instead I threaded the LED strip through each corner and it snagged on the ends of each metal channel. After the second corner the LED strip was damaged and I ended up having to repair it with another LED strip and connectors so lesson learned. However, some better design on the corner sections could have hugely improved the product and fitting experience, which it should do considering the price comparative to the fragile LED strips.

I've used 16m of these channels for outdoor LED strip lights. Fitting is very easy, all the mounting hardware is included.Edges are cut straight, making for a neat alignment of each segment - provided your mounting surface is level.The end caps are a bit flimsy, but a small dab of glue keeps them in place.Easy to cut to length as well.Lights aren't attenuated much, and the diffusion is great with COB strips.

Great! Would Buy Again!

Looks good, much better than without the moulding. Well made and good value for money. Only thing that isn’t so good is the visibility of the metal clip part that holds the aluminium profile to the substrate, they are very visible when the light is turned off (in my case at least). But I guess you could just glue them on instead if it really bothered you.

Arrived packaged securely and complete as described. Easy to cut to size and assemble, I didn't use the screws and clamps that were supplied and I used Gorilla double sided tape to fix the profile up onto ceramic tiles..Once my COB 8mm lights were installed easily inside this 12mm profile they looked really good, adding the white plastic diffuser finished the job perfectly, no dark spots, just pure continuous light in a very smart profile. worked for me perfectly, excellent job and I would certainly buy this product again.
