The HitLights slim recessed mounted aluminum channel 5 pack is a 1 m housing system that hides LED strip lights inside ceilings, coves, and trim while protecting the tape and smoothing the light.
Each channel is made from lightweight Class 6063A aircraft-grade aluminum extrusion and measures 1 meter long, 25 mm wide, and 7.5 mm high. This recessed profile is designed to fit standard 8–10 mm LED strip types, including 24 V and 10 mm COB options, so it works with most single-color and multicolor tapes used in architectural lighting.
The channel sits in a routed or cut opening, leaving only a clean, slim lip and diffuser visible. In coves, crowns, and coffers, it creates a continuous linear glow instead of exposed tape. The rigid aluminum body helps dissipate heat, while the diffuser lens softens diode points into a more uniform light line.

Unlike bare LED tape mounted directly to drywall, this recessed channel conceals wiring, protects the strip from dust and contact, and delivers a more integrated, architectural finish. Installers typically secure the mounting clips, snap in the channels, adhere the LED strip, attach the diffuser lens, and then connect to the driver.
For cove lighting, crown moldings, and ceiling details where the light source should disappear and only an even glow remains, this slim recessed aluminum channel offers a practical, professional-grade mounting solution.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- 5 slim recessed aluminum LED channels (1 m each), 5 matching LED diffuser covers,10 double end caps, 10 mounting clips, 10 mounting screws
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: What is the HitLights slim recessed mounted aluminum channel used for?
A: It is a recessed aluminum housing that holds LED strip lights inside ceilings, coves, and trim. The channel hides the tape, protects it from dust and contact, and helps create an even, architectural line of light in coves, crowns, coffers, and similar details.
Q: Which LED strips are compatible with this recessed channel?
A: The channel is designed for most standard 8–10 mm LED strip lights, including many 24 V and 10 mm COB strips. This covers typical single-color and multicolor tapes used for cove lighting, accent lighting, and display applications.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of each channel?
A: Each slim recessed channel measures 1 meter in length, 25 millimeters in width, and 7.5 millimeters in height. These dimensions allow the channel to recess into typical drywall or millwork while still providing a rigid housing and diffuser for the LED tape.
Q: What materials are the channels made from?
A: The channels use Class 6063A aircraft-grade aluminum extrusion, which is durable yet lightweight and well suited to heat dissipation. This construction helps support the LED strip mechanically and thermally over long runs.
Q: How are the slim recessed channels installed?
A: Installers usually cut a recess, attach the included mounting clips, snap in the channels, apply the LED strip, and then add the diffuser lens before wiring to the driver. This method keeps the light source integrated into the ceiling or trim with only the illuminated diffuser visible.
Q: Are these recessed channels waterproof?
A: The channels offer some physical and moisture protection but are not rated as waterproof fixtures. For damp or wet areas, they should be paired with LED strips carrying the appropriate IP rating for the installation environment.
Q: Can the channels be cut to custom lengths?
A: Yes, the aluminum channels can be cut down using appropriate metal-cutting tools such as a hacksaw or metal shears. This allows runs to be tailored to specific coves, coffers, or cabinet dimensions without gaps or overhangs.
