Our waterproof aluminium extrusion channel for LED tape measuring 16x16mm. This channel works by using an inner metal spine inserted into a plastic outer body which works to eliminate water ingress. Simply lay the LED tape onto the Aluminium spine and insert into the channel, then use the provided end caps to seal the ends. We suggest using a further silicone glue coating inside and out.

Diffusers will affect the brightness of LED tapes when installed, as a general guide, please see the information below on how much the brightness is affected by each type of diffuser.

Transparent: 5-10% of the brightness will be taken away

Semi-Clear: 25-30% of the brightness will be taken away

Opal: 50-55% of the brightness will be taken away

Black: 65-70% of the brightness will be taken away

Please note that we recommend using LED tape with no more that 14.4 watts per meter due to the compromised heat sync.
