Linear Up Down Wall Light Channels

It creates a much more balanced and comfortable light. A standard downlight can create harsh shadows on the floor, but when you have light going both up and down, it bounces off the ceiling and floor to fill the space more evenly. This is why you see up down LED wall sconces so often in long hallways, corridors, and living rooms — they make the space feel bigger and more welcoming.

It depends on the model. Most are surface-mounted: you screw the included mounting clips to the wall, and the aluminum channel just snaps into them. The product page for each channel always shows its mounting type.

You absolutely can, but it requires a different wiring setup. Instead of wiring both strips in parallel to one controller channel, you'll need to run separate feeds for the top and bottom strips. Then you connect them to a multi-zone controller. This lets you dim them independently or even have different colors if you're using RGBW LED strips.

Think about scale. A huge, double-height lobby wall needs a profile with a tall face to look substantial, like our 90mm models. A small residential hallway or bathroom would be overwhelmed by that; a sleeker profile with a 15mm or 25mm face height is a better fit. Our range covers face heights from 15mm to 90mm to match the visual weight your design needs.

They do. You simply wire the positive and negative leads from both the top and bottom LED strips in parallel back to a single LED driver. The important part is sizing the driver correctly. Add up the total wattage of *both* strips, then choose a driver with a capacity at least 20% higher than that total. Don't max it out.

It's not just for looks — it's the heat sink. Heat is the number one killer of LEDs. An LED strip stuck directly to drywall will overheat and its lifespan will drop dramatically. The aluminum channel pulls heat away from the LEDs, which is critical for them to last their rated lifespan. 

Absolutely. Send us your required lengths. An engineer here will spec out the parts, create a wiring diagram, and send you a quote, usually the same business day and always within 12 hours. We can customize length, finish, and even pre-install and solder the strips for you. 

It's pretty straightforward. First, mount the aluminum channel to the wall. Second, clean the inside of the channel and stick your LED tape light inside. Third, run your low-voltage cable from the channel back to where your driver is hidden. Fourth, connect the strip to that cable. Finally, snap on the plastic diffuser cover. That's the basic install.
