Applications:
Slim, low-profile design and minimal recess depth needed (under 1/4") makes Aluminum Profile "C" 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.

Installation: For Aluminum Profile "C" one has the option of directly mounting the channel to the desired surface with either counter-sunk screws, or VHB adhesive.

Mounting Method #1 (Direct Screw)

1. Create hole specific to your mounting screw diameter in the center of the housing. If using a single row of high-output LED tape make sure to counter-sink hole so screw will sit flush with housing.
2. Anchor housing to framing or solid ceiling using screws.
3. Install LED strip over mounting screw (if applicable).

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.
