1 Metre Straight Plaster-in Aluminium LED Profile 55.5x13mm, Opal Cover

Specifications: Dimensions: 55.5 x 13mm Internal channel: 12.5mm wide x 8.8mm deep — fits LED strip up to 12mm wide Channel depth: 8.8mm Material: Aluminium, silver anodised Diffuser: Opal, supplied This 1 metre straight plaster-in aluminium LED profile recesses into plasterboard ceilings and walls and finishes flush with the skim. The perforated flange keys into the plaster, so once the surface is skimmed and decorated the aluminium disappears and only the light line remains — a trimless finish, no visible fixings, nothing proud of the surface. At 55.5mm across the flange and 13mm deep, this is the shallowest recessed LED profile in our straight plaster-in family. It sits in a shallower recess than the 60.3 x 15mm version, which matters when the void behind the board is tight. If your LED strip is wider than 12.5mm, fit the 60.3 x 15mm straight plaster-in profile instead — that one takes strip up to 15mm. Straight runs only. This is a rigid extrusion. It holds a dead-straight line across its full length, which is what long ceiling slots, perimeter details and mitred corners need. It does not bend, and forcing a curve into it will deform the channel so the cover no longer clips in. Applications Ceiling slots: continuous recessed light lines in hallways, landings and open-plan rooms. Wall washing: a flush line set close to the wall head, throwing light down the plaster. Perimeter details: straight runs around a room, mitred at each corner. Joinery and shallow voids: the 13mm depth fits where a deeper channel will not. Important notes The channel is IP20 — dry indoor locations only. There is no seal against moisture, so it is not suitable for bathroom wet zones, shower areas, or any outdoor or unheated position where condensation forms. Fix the profile to the framing before boarding, then cut the plasterboard to butt against the flange and skim over it. Fit the opal cover after plastering and decorating. Wet plaster works into the retaining lips, dries hard, and the cover will then refuse to clip in cleanly. For a dot-free line, use LED strip with at least 120 LEDs per metre, or a DC voltage COB LED strip. The 8.8mm channel depth gives the light room to mix before it reaches the diffuser. Check your strip width before ordering. Anything over 12.5mm will not seat in this channel.
