The HitLights Surface Mounted Aluminum Channel Slim 1m 5 Pack is a slim-profile mounting system that gives LED strip lighting a clean, finished look while improving durability and heat dissipation.
Each 1-meter channel is made from lightweight Class 6063A aluminum extrusion and is designed to fit most 8–10 mm LED strip types, including 24V and 10 mm COB strips. The surface-mounted profile works well under cabinets, along backsplashes, on stair treads, or on wall accents where a low-profile linear light is required.
- Slim surface-mounted aluminum profile with 1 m length per channel
- Compatible with most 8–10 mm LED strip lights, including COB options
- Includes diffuser covers, end caps, clips, and screws for easy installation
- Can be cut to length for custom under-cabinet or accent runs
Unlike bare strip installations, this aluminum channel provides physical protection for the LED tape, helps manage heat, and hides wiring for a more professional finish. The included diffuser lens softens individual LEDs to create a more continuous, “spotless” line of light in many applications.
This pack is well-suited for residential and light commercial projects, especially for remodelers and installers who need consistent, repeatable results across multiple runs of under-cabinet lighting, cove accents, or display cases. Each channel can be trimmed on site and mounted with the included clips and screws, then completed with end caps and the snap-on diffuser.
For projects where LED strip lighting must look built-in rather than retrofitted, this surface-mounted aluminum channel offers a practical, installer-friendly way to elevate both performance and appearance.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- 5 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 surface-mounted aluminum channel used for?
A: It is a slim surface-mounted aluminum housing designed to hold and protect LED strip lights while improving heat dissipation and light diffusion. Common uses include under-cabinet lighting, backsplashes, stair runs, and wall accents where the strip may be visible.
Q: Who is this surface channel best suited for?
A: It suits electricians, contractors, cabinet makers, and DIY installers who need a clean, visible linear lighting solution. The channel delivers a professional finish in residential, retail, and commercial projects where both appearance and longevity matter.
Q: How does this channel work with LED strip lights?
A: LED strips adhere to the aluminum base inside the channel, and the included diffuser snaps on top. The aluminum body acts as a heat sink and mounting surface, while the diffuser softens the light and reduces visible LED dots for a smoother output.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of each channel?
A: Each channel is approximately 1 meter long with a 17 mm width and 10 mm height, manufactured from Class 6063A aluminum. This combination provides a slim profile, good structural rigidity, and effective thermal management for standard LED strip installations.
Q: Which LED strip sizes are compatible with this channel?
A: The surface channel fits most 8–10 mm wide LED strip lights, including 24V and COB 10 mm versions in both single-color and multi-color formats. This covers a wide range of common residential and commercial LED strip types.
Q: What is included in the 5-pack kit?
A: The kit includes 5 aluminum channels, 5 diffuser covers, 10 double-end caps, 10 mounting clips, and 10 screws. These components provide everything needed to mount, terminate, and finish typical surface-mounted LED strip runs.
Q: Can the channels be cut, and are they waterproof?
A: Yes, the channels can be cut to length using appropriate metal-cutting tools to match project dimensions. They offer some protection from dust and incidental moisture, but the channels themselves are not fully waterproof and should be paired with waterproof strips in damp locations.
