Create a clean, professional finish for LED strip lighting with our 17mm x 8mm Shallow Square Aluminium LED Profile in Silver. Designed for surface-mounted installations, this low-profile aluminium channel provides a neat housing for LED strip while helping protect the strip and create a more refined, finished appearance.
With an overall size of 17mm wide x 8mm high and a generous 12mm internal channel width, this aluminium LED profile is suitable for many standard and wider LED strip types. Its shallow design makes it particularly useful for kitchen cabinetry, shelving, wardrobes, display lighting, joinery, retail installations and architectural accent lighting.
17mm x 8mm Shallow Aluminium LED Profile
The slim 8mm height allows the profile to sit discreetly against cabinetry, shelving and other surfaces while the 17mm overall width provides a substantial, professional-looking finish. The silver aluminium body suits contemporary interiors and blends naturally with stainless steel appliances, aluminium fittings and modern architectural finishes.
The 12mm internal width provides additional space compared with ultra-narrow LED channels, making this profile suitable for many LED strips with PCB widths up to approximately 12mm. Always check the actual width of your LED strip and any connectors before installation.
Designed for Smooth, Professional LED Strip Lighting
Using an aluminium profile helps transform exposed LED strip into a more integrated lighting system. The included diffuser sits over the LED strip to soften the appearance of the light source and provide a cleaner linear lighting effect.
For the smoothest possible result, pair the profile with a high-density or COB LED strip. COB strip lighting is particularly well suited to shallow aluminium profiles because its closely spaced LEDs can create a more continuous, dotless or seamless lighting effect through the diffuser.

Aluminium Housing for LED Strip
Installing LED strip inside an aluminium channel provides a more professional appearance than mounting bare LED tape directly onto a surface. The aluminium extrusion also provides a firm mounting surface for the strip and can assist with transferring heat away from the LED PCB during operation.
The removable diffuser helps protect the LED strip from everyday contact and dust while creating a softer and more finished lighting appearance.
