It's easy to create a custom light fixture with these components and our LED strip lighting. The aluminum channels can be fitted with a polymer cover (sold separately) to conceal the LEDs and diffuse the light output. They are particularly useful where installed lighting will be visible, such as on the underside of a shelf or in a display cabinet, or to soften lighting to eliminate reflective hotspots on a nearby surface.
The flush-mount style is a good option for new construction where a low-profile, flush-mounted light is desirable. The channel fits in an 11/16" wide dado; the edges of the dado are concealed with the flanges on the channel (epoxy can be used to secure it if a friction fit is insufficient). The channel can also be surface-mounted using double-sided tape or metal clips (available separately).
The channels can be cut to length using a fine-tooth handsaw and run in sequence to create a longer fixture. To enclose the channels, end caps are available in pairs (one cap with a passage hole for wires).

The channel fits into an 11/16" wide dado, with the channel's flanges concealing the dado's cut edges once installed.
Yes, cut the channels to length with a fine-tooth handsaw and run them in sequence to build a fixture as long as you need.
Flush-mount channels for LED tape lighting are available without end caps included, but caps are available separately in pairs, with one cap pre-drilled for a wire passage.
No, the cover isn't required for the channel to hold and route the LED strip, but adding it, available separately, diffuses the light and hides the strip from view.
