Applications
Slim, low-profile design and minimal recess depth needed (only 1/4") makes Aluminum Profile "C2" an excellent solution for areas where there is not enough material to recess a deeper channel. Discreet lighting can be flush mounted under-cabinets, in drywall, under stair-treads, and a wide variety of applications where discrete recessed linear LED lighting is desired.

Mounting Method #1 (Use of Adhesive)
-
Clean mounting surface (groove) of dust and residue.
-
Apply all purpose caulking/adhesive
-
Install assembled fixture
Mounting Method #2 (Counter-Sunk Screws)
-
Screw Aluminum housing into cavity (counter-sink screws so LED strip has flat surface to install onto.
-

Cutting
To cut your aluminum profiles and make your lighting fixtures a custom length, simply snap the lens onto the profile, and place the channel onto a miter saw with the lens facing down. By doing this you can easily cut both the channel and lens to your desired length at the same time. We recommend using a NEW fine tooth blade to cut your aluminum channels for LED strips. The diffuser/lens is fragile and will easily break with an old blade. The easiest way to avoid breaking a lens or diffuser is to lower the saw blade slowly while cutting.
