What are LED channels?
Architects and designers are turning to LED lighting channels due to their aesthetics, versatility and energy-efficient properties. Wired4Signs USA's various LED profiles provide a housing for the LED strip to suit almost any application. In addition, the LED channels for sale from us act as a LED diffuser and heat exchanger to provide sufficient thermal control for the LED tape lighting. The LED strip light cover prevents dust build-up on electrical components, and when required, you can produce dotless LED strip lights. An LED frame system usually includes the aluminum channel, a diffuser or cover, end caps, and mounting hardware. Our LED tape light profiles are typically extruded from aluminum but some special low-wattage installations are made of plastic.
LED channel diffuser choices include white (opal frosted), frosted, clear, prismatic, and more recently black. An LED black diffuser is black when off and changes to the LED color when on. A good example to check the performances of the various diffusers can be found in our blogs and specifically in our SL7 diffuser test.
