Add a sophisticated architectural finish to your LED strip installation with our 17mm x 8mm Shallow Square Aluminium LED Profile in Black. Designed for modern kitchens, dark cabinetry, shelving and contemporary interiors, the black aluminium channel provides a clean surface-mounted housing for LED strip lighting while creating a striking contrast around the illuminated diffuser.
Measuring 17mm wide x 8mm high with a 12mm internal channel width, this shallow LED profile is compact enough for discreet installations while providing room for many commonly used LED strip widths.
Black 17mm x 8mm Aluminium LED Profile
The matte black appearance makes this LED channel particularly suited to black kitchens, charcoal cabinetry, dark timber joinery, commercial interiors and architectural lighting designs. When switched off, the black profile integrates neatly with darker surfaces. When illuminated, the bright linear diffuser creates a premium contrasting lighting effect.
Its shallow 8mm profile height keeps the installation streamlined, while the 17mm width gives the fitting enough visual presence to look intentional rather than simply appearing as exposed LED tape.
12mm Internal Width for LED Strip Lighting
The internal channel measures approximately 12mm wide, making this profile compatible with many popular LED strip formats. It can be used with conventional SMD strip as well as high-density and COB LED strip lighting.
Because connectors can be wider than the LED strip PCB itself, check the dimensions of your strip, solder joints and connectors before installation.
Perfect for COB Dotless LED Strip
For a premium continuous-light appearance, combine this black aluminium profile with COB LED strip lighting. COB technology uses closely packed LEDs to reduce visible spotting and create a smooth linear illumination effect behind the diffuser.
This combination works especially well in kitchens, bars, entertainment areas and architectural interiors where the LED profile itself forms part of the overall design.

A Cleaner Alternative to Exposed LED Strip
Instead of attaching bare LED tape directly to cabinetry or shelving, an aluminium profile gives the installation a more finished and permanent appearance. The extrusion provides a dedicated mounting surface for the LED strip and can assist with heat transfer from the LED PCB.
The diffuser covers the LED strip and softens the emitted light, helping create a more refined linear lighting effect while offering additional protection from everyday contact and dust.

Comparing Shallow Aluminium LED Profiles
Customers researching compact LED channels may also encounter shallow square aluminium profiles from brands such as Havit Lighting, including products in the HV9693-1707 and HV9699-1708 ranges.
The Green Earth Lighting profile featured here measures 17mm x 8mm with a 12mm internal channel width. When comparing aluminium profiles, check the overall width and height, internal LED strip clearance, diffuser design, finish and supplied accessories rather than relying on the external appearance alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What width LED strip fits this profile?
The profile provides approximately 12mm internal width. Many 5mm, 8mm, 10mm and suitable 12mm LED strips can therefore be accommodated, subject to the actual PCB and connector dimensions.
Is this suitable for COB LED strip?
Yes. COB LED strip is particularly well suited to shallow aluminium profiles and can provide a smoother, more seamless line of light through the diffuser.
Does the profile need to be recessed?
No. This is a surface-mount LED profile, making it useful when cutting a recessed channel into cabinetry or shelving is not practical.
Why choose a black aluminium profile?
The black finish coordinates particularly well with dark cabinetry, black appliances, black architectural hardware and contemporary interiors. It can also create an attractive contrast between the dark profile and illuminated diffuser.
Are mounting accessories included?
Yes. The package includes the aluminium profile, diffuser, two end caps and two mounting clips.
