Deep Surface Profile

Because of its diffused cover and deepness, your deep surface mounted extrusion is ideal in highly visible locations, as it emits a continuous light glow by obscuring the individual diodes that you normally see on the LED tape. (Otherwise, to give a continuous glow you would need to shine the LED tape onto an appropriate surface.)

Advantages of extrusions
Fixing your LED tape into an extrusion can create a more ‘finished’ look when compared to the unhoused PCB – which is ideal if the product is clearly on show. Extrusions can help to prevent contact damage if the LED tape is positioned easily within reach. And even though they are not waterproof, extrusions can help prevent moisture. (To provide more protection against water, consider installing IP67 LED tape in the extrusions.)

Cutting and sizes
Our deep surface mount extrusions are available in 1m or 2m lengths as standard. You can simply cut the extrusion the length you require using a hack saw.

Fitting
Extrusions can be fixed into place using countersink screws, straight into the extrusion.
