2-Metre Standard LED Aluminium Profile – Clean, Professional Finish for LED Strip Lights

This 2-metre standard LED aluminium profile gives your LED strip installation a clean, built-in look. The aluminium channel houses your LED strip, while the diffuser cover softens the light and hides the individual LED dots for a smooth, continuous line of light. Available in Silver, Black or White to suit any interior.

Key Features

• 2-Metre Length. A full 2000mm channel – ideal for under-cabinet runs, shelf lighting, coving and general accent lighting. Can be cut to size for shorter runs.
• Slim 17mm × 7mm Profile. Compact U-channel design sits discreetly on any surface. 12mm internal width fits standard LED strips up to 12mm wide.
• Aluminium Construction. The aluminium body acts as a heat sink, drawing heat away from your LED strip to help it run cooler and last longer.
• Diffuser Cover. The translucent cover softens harsh LED brightness and conceals the strip's circuit board for a neat, finished appearance – even when switched off.
• Three Finishes. Choose Silver, Black or White to match your décor – from minimalist kitchens to modern living spaces.
• Surface Mount. Mounts directly onto flat surfaces – under cabinets, along shelves, on walls or ceilings.
• Complete Kit Included. Each 2m profile comes with the aluminium channel, diffuser cover, end caps and mounting clips – everything you need to install, apart from the LED strip itself.
• IP20 Rated – Indoor Use Only. Designed for indoor installations, protected against solid objects. Keep away from water and moisture.
• 5-Year Warranty. Backed by ecolux England's standard 5-year warranty for peace of mind.

Why Use an LED Profile?

An LED profile acts as a protective casing for your LED strip lights. It shields the strip from dust, dirt and accidental contact, and gives the installation a polished, professional appearance. Without a profile, the exposed circuit board can look unfinished – especially in visible locations like under kitchen cabinets or along open shelving. The aluminium also helps dissipate heat, which supports a longer working life for your LEDs.

The Dimensions

Knowing the profile dimensions helps you plan your installation and choose a compatible LED strip. This profile is 17mm wide, 7mm high and 2000mm long, with a 12mm internal channel width. Choose an LED strip no wider than 12mm so it sits comfortably inside the channel.
