Applications

Aluminum extrusion "O3" is a slim profile with a depth of 0.39 Inch making it a perfect solution for recessing in-cabinets and shelving as well as any other application in which this type of lighting is desired. Although intended mainly for indoor use, the channels can be waterproofed, as well as used with waterproof LED strips to make them suitable for outdoor applications, providing even more options for your lighting ideas. This is the perfect channel for illuminating and accenting small areas and tight spaces inconspicuously, having a finish flush to the surface you are putting the channel in.

Installation

Install LED Aluminum housing "O3" by first creating a groove or cavity in the desired cabinet, drywall, or shelf.

Mounting Methods

1. Clean mounting surface (groove) of dust and residue.

2. Apply all purpose caulking/adhesive.

3. Install assembled fixture.

1. Screw Aluminum housing into cavity (counter-sink screws so LED strip has flat surface to install onto.

2. Attach LED Strips onto Aluminum housing over counter-sunk screws.

Cutting

To cut your aluminum profiles and make your lighting fixtures a custom length, simply snap the lens onto the profile, and place the channel onto a miter saw with the lens facing down. By doing this you can easily cut both the channel and lens to your desired length at the same time. We recommend using a NEW fine tooth blade to cut your aluminum channels for LED strips. The diffuser/lens is fragile and will easily break with an old blade. The easiest way to avoid breaking a lens or diffuser is to lower the saw blade slowly while cutting.
