Applications

DT12 is a slim and low profile aluminum channel that is recessable, making it perfectly suitable for discrete lighting applications with low to medium output lighting. The slim and low profile of this channel makes it a perfect solution for use of narrow recessed lighting in ceilings, walls, and application in many other drywall settings in which a flush in-wall mount is desired. The shape of it makes it perfect for use in corners. Although intended mainly for indoor use, the channels can be waterproofed making them suitable for outdoor applications giving you even more options for your lighting ideas. This is the perfect channel for illuminating and accenting areas inconspicuously, having a finish flush to the surface you are putting the channel in.

Mounting Instructions

• Using a drywall knife, cut a slot for the Aluminum Housing.

• Using a flat-head drywall screw, screw the housing through the integrated plaster-bead and secure it to the drywall.

• Apply a single layer of contractors tape over light opening.

• Apply drywall tape over integrated plaster-bead.

• Apply plaster, smooth with compound knife.

• Sand down to get smooth finish and paint.

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.
