Aluminum Channel System with Cover, End Caps, and Mounting Clips, for LED Strip Installations, V-Shape, Pack of 5x 1m Segments, 1901-V

Was thinking about using aluminum L stock and bouncing the LEDs off the wall - it would be considerably less expensive, but also far less efficient for lighting. This product enables direct illumination while eliminating the "burn your eyes out effect" of 7020 strip (or any other strip for that matter.) Very high quality and highly professional look if you take the time to install it in a professional manner.

I installed on a rough surface,clips alone would not hold. After mounting clips I drilled a small hole thru channel into top of bracket,and attached track with a 4x3/8 Phillips screw. It worked well and did not interfere with installation of led lights

Great product. I was initially doubtful and planned to simply stick the LED strip to the underside of the cabinet. Once I saw the cover I thought they looked great. Worth every penny, easy to use and makes LED strip lights look spectacular. The translucent cover also defuses the light minimizing reflections and protecting the light strips from damage. Strongly recommend.

the diffusion quality did not diffuse the spots with a 5050 led strip. the screws were too large and difficult to set into wood. it was very difficult to clip the plastic diffusers to the holding metal.. you had to push very hard and listen for the clicks when it was set. would not buy again. also the holes for the end caps didnt do anything since the led strip and the wifi connection were not circular but flat.

I successfully installed these channels for my undercabinet LED lighting. Overall, the product worked well for this purpose. However, there are several things which I had to learn along the way.1. As noted by many reviewers, it is easy to cut the channel with a regular hack saw. I ended up cutting it together with the "glass" which is a soft plastic. Aluminum is soft and is very easy to cut.2. The screws are a good length for 3/4" face frame of the cabinets. They might be a little too long for 1/2" cabinet bottom, one has to be careful.3. The height of the channel is just right for the reveal under the cabinet. When installed under the front side, they illuminate the under-cabinet space nicely and at the same time do not stick out, so you can see the light but do not see where it comes from.4. The mounting clips work in a little weird way. They are shaped at about 75-80 degree angle, so you spread them a little when you click the channel into the clip. They grab the channel by the edge, but there is no positively defined groove in the channel itself. When the channel clicks into the clips, it sits nice and tight. When it does not, it is hard to figure out visually what went wrong.5. A minor deformation of shape of the channel (e.g., if it is twisted slightly) could lead to a problem with locking into the clips. I had this issue with one of the lights. I moved clips, changed clips, nothing worked. I ended up removing the LED strip from that channel and moving it to the other one. After that, the problem was resolved instantly.6. End caps do not have holes for wires, you need to drill them as needed.With this, if I had to do it again, I would cut channel to length, would install the clips, would make sure that the channel locks into the clips easily and firmly, and only after that would install the LED strip into the channel.The advantages of using this channel are three. First, Al channel acts as a heat sink for the LEDs. LEDs do not generate a lot of heat, but they do generate some, and proper cooling is good for them, good for the glue which keeps them in place, and good for the cabinet. Secondly, plastic opaque cover diffuses the light (fewer reflections from polished surfaces) and protects LEDs from steam and grease common in the kitchen. Thirdly, angle channel directs light from the front edge of the wall cabinet to where it is needed, i.e., under the cabinet space.I ended up installing LEDs from mid brightness range, 4.5 Watts / foot. I found that this provides good level of illumination, not too bright, but not too dim either, from one line of LEDs under the cabinets.Overall, it is not a sophisticated high end product, but it is adequate for the purpose. Some of the aluminum channels might not work, try them before installing LEDs. Clips work but better defined locking mechanism would be desirable.If one wishes, it is possible to drill holes through the channels and mount them with screws prior to installation of LEDs.And yes, for a new cabinets installation, it is much easier to install channels before mounting cabinets on the walls. It is so much easier to install them and route the wires while the cabinets are on the floor, upside down.

Does not do an adequate job diffusing the led tape lights. Still see prominent spots. Definitely not "spot-less". Probably due to the very thin milky white cover. Led tape lights typically are very bright.This is the challenge when using led tape lights over granite in a under-cabinet application. "Dots" reflect back at you can be undesirable. Aiming the light direction can help in some applications, but a good diffuser is the best answer.

I had a very tricky lighting design project that required the LED lights at an angle of 45°. I luckily found this kit. It is high quality in both design and materials, and is very easy to install. Please note I have never installed anything like this before, I'm just a lady that likes a nice home, and I wound up doing a beautiful, professional job thanks to this kit! I highly recommend this product!!

The perfect solution to my kitchen under cabinet lighting. I glued two of these back to back and then laid a strip of LEDs on each inner surface, capped the ends with the supplied end caps and voila, I had a light stick that I could not find. This product is excellent. The included frosted lens are just right for diffusing the light from the LEDs. There are enough end caps included to make multiple light sticks. One set of end caps has a hole that allows you to bring the wire through and terminate as desired.
