After few years of development, LED profiles already come in a variety of styles. This can fit any request in lighting design. We will list the most common types of the LED profiles as follows:
1. Surface Mounted LED Extrusion
Surface-mounted LED profiles also call U-shaped extrusions.
They are the most common types of LED profile extrusion. Surface mount led profiles to have mounting clips and caps. This is easy to install on any flat surface. Just like under kitchen cabinets, living room ceiling, closets, etc.
It has many sizes of surface-mounted extrusion that can fit any different request.

The recessed-mounted led profile has an edge in profile, it looks T-shaped.
You have to recess the surface before installing a recessed profile. The profile also comes with clips and end caps. After you install the recessed profile, the lighting surface is flat same as the surface you mounted.

Cornet mounted profile light can fit the place where the surface-mounted profile is not easy to install.
4. Architectural LED Profile
The architectural led profile is installed in the building as part of the building. It needs professional design and professional installation.
Some function like the recessed mount led profile, but this architectural led profile can not be disassembled easily like the surface mount profile.
We should slot the wood or wall. And fix the profile with a screw. Careful painting the surface of the profile. After that, we can install the strip light and driver.

What Types Of PC Diffuser Available For LED Aluminum profiles?
There are many kinds of diffusers on the market. But the common one is a frosted, opal, or milky diffuser. Different markets do not have the same calling. We also can offer a clear and black diffuser. This type of diffuser has MOQ, contact us for more detail.
Check the following types of PC cover.
Clear Diffuser
90-98% transmittance rate
Clear diffusers offer the best light output. But it can see the led inside.
Frosted Diffuser
80-90% transmittance rate
This is the most common PC diffuser used for aluminum profiles. This reduces the led dot visibility.
Opal Diffuser
60-70% transmittance rate
An Opal diffuser is not more white than a milky diffuser. The led dot visibility is less than a frosted diffuser.
Milky Diffuser
50-60% transmittance rate
Milky diffuser difficult to see the led dot, but this is less transmittance rate, so it is useless. Some economics-led aluminum profiles will use this material.
Black Diffuser

This is a new design. When turning off the light, the diffuser color is black. When you turn on the light, it is like the normal diffuser, light can come out. A very good material for special lighting design.
