Why do I need an aluminium mounting profile for LED strip? ❯
The role of the installation profile is threefold:
- 1. The mounting profile cools the LED strip and doubles the lifetime of the LED strip
- 2. The mounting profile makes the installation neat and tidy
- 3. The mounting profile makes the installation easier.
Is it true that if I install an LED strip without a profile, its lifetime is easily only 1-2 years? ❯
Yes, it is! The lifetime of LEDs is halved if the temperature of the LED circuit increases from 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. So without a cooling profile the lifetime drops radically. We do not guarantee the led strip if it is installed without a mounting profile. When properly installed, we give our LED strips a warranty of 3-7 years, depending on the type.
How do I make corners on an aluminium profile? ❯
The easiest way to make the corners is to cut two straight pieces and make the corner with a 5cm jump wire between the led strips. This makes the installation easy and small errors in the measurement of the cabinet etc. are less of a problem. If desired, the profiles can of course be cut to length, but then there is usually no room for measurement errors and the installation is also more laborious.
How to make long installations, up to 5 metres? ❯
Mount the profiles on the bush using the fasteners. Then glue the LED strip to the profile so that the extension of the LED strip preferably does not touch the joint of the profiles. Then install the cover so that the seam of the cover and the seam of the profile do not meet. This will make the extension unobtrusive and sturdy.
Can I install a profiled led strip under a drying cabinet? ❯
Yes you can. LedStore's aluminium profiles are IP44 splash-proof and completely waterproof from the top. So dripping water from above is no problem and you can install the beautiful light to continue under the drying cabinet.
Is it easy to cut the aluminium profile? ❯
Yes, it is. Aluminium is soft and can be cut with a wooden blade in a scalpel. The aluminium profile can be cut with a handsaw using a hacksaw. The smaller the profile, the easier it is to cut.
How are surface-mounted aluminium profiles fixed to the cabinet/wall? ❯
The surface-mounted aluminium profiles have their own screw-in brackets, where the profile is simply pressed into place. The profile can also be installed by screwing through the bottom, but then it is impossible to service the profiles because the screw is hidden under the led strip. Some profiles can also be glued in place, but this also makes it difficult to service the profile, as it is difficult to remove cleanly. In most cases, the aluminium profiles to be embedded are glued in place.
What comes with the led profile? ❯
The mounting profile kit contains the profile, the opal cover, end plugs and brackets or springs, depending on the type of aluminium profile.
What if I split the profile into several parts and need more end caps and brackets? ❯
For a small fee, we can supply you with aluminium profile end caps as an extra.
Is it possible to install a led profile on the shower floor? ❯
Yes, you can. We have both submersible and surface-mounted aluminium profiles designed to withstand water. The profiles have a moisture protection rating of IP65. Of course, installation should be done in the shower tile, on top of the waterproofing. Our IP65 profile models are only 8mm thick, making them easy to install on any material!
How to install 44mm or 90mm wide aluminium flush profiles? ❯
The profile comes with springs to mount the profile to the slab roof like the spots. The springs increase the height of the profile by about 25mm. A recessed profile can also be installed by screwing through the bottom, but this usually affects ease of maintenance. However, when mounted vertically on a wall, it may be advisable to do so in order to keep the profile precisely in place.
