The HitLights Slim Surface Mounted Aluminum Channel 5 Pack is a low-profile mounting system designed to give LED strip installations a clean, built-in appearance while protecting the tape and improving heat dissipation.
Each channel is made from lightweight Class 6063A aluminum and measures 1 meter long by 15 mm wide and 6 mm high, ideal for tight spaces where a slim, unobtrusive profile is important. The extrusion is sized to fit most 8–10 mm LED strip types, including 24 V and COB strips at 10 mm width.
This surface-mounted profile works well under cabinets, along backsplashes, on stairs, and on walls where a straight, continuous line of light is required. The included snap-on diffuser lens softens individual LED points to create more even illumination, while the rigid channel helps shield the strip from dust, contact, and incidental moisture.
- Slim surface-mounted aluminum profile, 1 m length per channel
- Fits most 8–10 mm LED strips, including selected 24 V and COB options
- Class 6063A aluminum for strength, rigidity, and thermal management
- Channels can be cut to length for custom runs and special layouts
- Includes diffusers, end caps, clips, and screws for straightforward mounting
Unlike bare LED tape mounted directly to a surface, this channel system organizes wiring, protects the strip, and elevates the overall finish of the installation. Installers typically mount the channels using the supplied clips and screws, lay in the LED strip, and then add the diffuser lens before connecting to the driver.
For residential remodels, light commercial projects, and display applications where LED strips must look integrated rather than retrofitted, this slim surface-mounted aluminum channel offers a practical, professional-grade solution.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- 5 slim surface-mounted 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 Surface Mounted Aluminum Channel used for?
A: It is a slim aluminum housing for LED strip lights that mounts to surfaces such as cabinets, backsplashes, stairs, and walls. It improves the appearance of installs, protects the tape, and helps manage heat while supporting a more even light output with the diffuser lens.
Q: Which LED strips are compatible with this slim surface channel?
A: The channel is designed to fit most standard 8–10 mm LED strip types, including selected 24 V and 10 mm COB strips. This covers typical single color and multicolor LED tapes used for under-cabinet, accent, and display lighting applications.
Q: What are the dimensions of each aluminum channel?
A: Each slim surface-mounted channel measures 1 meter in length, 15 mm in width, and 6 mm in height. This low-profile geometry is suited to installations where space is limited but a rigid, protective housing is still required.
Q: What exactly comes in the 5 pack?
A: The package includes five aluminum channels, five diffuser covers, ten double end caps, ten mounting clips, and ten screws. This hardware set allows multiple linear runs to be installed with a consistent profile and finish from a single kit.
Q: How are the slim surface channels installed?
A: Installers usually secure the provided mounting clips to the surface, snap the channels into place, adhere the LED strip inside, and then attach the diffuser lens. After wiring the strip to the power supply or driver, the assembly forms a finished linear lighting element.
Q: Can these channels be cut to custom lengths?
A: Yes, the aluminum channels can be trimmed to the required length using appropriate metal cutting tools, such as a hacksaw or metal shears. This flexibility makes it easier to match cabinet runs, niches, or architectural details without leaving gaps.
Q: Are the slim surface channels waterproof?
A: The channels offer some physical and moisture protection, but they are not rated as fully waterproof fixtures. For wet or exposed locations, they should be paired with LED strips that carry the appropriate waterproof rating for the environment.
