What is the main advantage of a 10° lens over a standard frosted diffuser?

A 10° lens focuses the light into a very narrow, intense beam. This is ideal for creating sharp lines, highlighting textures (wall grazing), and directing light precisely onto a target, whereas a frosted diffuser softens and spreads the light widely.

What is the widest LED strip that will fit in this channel?

This channel has an inner width of 16.2mm and is designed to accommodate LED strip lights with a PCB width of up to 15mm.

Can I connect multiple channels together for a perfectly seamless long run?

This specific model does not support the use of connectors for a seamless connection. To create longer runs, you should mount the channels end-to-end.

Is this aluminum channel waterproof for outdoor use?

No, the QSG-2016G channel is non-waterproof and is intended for indoor applications only.

Create dramatic and precisely focused lighting effects with the QSG-2016G 10° Lens LED Aluminum Channel. Unlike standard diffusers that soften and spread light, this profile's integrated 10-degree lens concentrates the beam into a sharp, narrow line. This makes it the ideal aluminum channel for led light strips used in architectural wall grazing, retail product highlighting, and creating powerful accent lines.

The generous 16.2mm inner width is specifically designed to house high-intensity double row LED strips up to 15mm wide, providing both robust protection and superior thermal management. Constructed from high-grade 6063-T5 aluminum, this led tape aluminum channel not only ensures the longevity of your LEDs but also offers a sleek, professional finish for any surface-mounted installation.

Warm Tip: The width of the LED strip may affect the beam angle of the diffuser; please test it first to determine the ideal strip size.

Retail and Museum Display Use within display cases, shelving, or art exhibits to precisely illuminate specific products or artifacts. The focused light draws attention exactly where needed without creating distracting light spill, making items stand out.

Focused Cove and Ceiling Lighting Place in ceiling coves or architectural reveals to project sharp, defined lines of light across surfaces. This creates a bold, modern aesthetic and can be used to visually guide the eye or define a space.

How to Install This Aluminum Profile

Measure and cut the aluminum channel and lens diffuser to your required length using a fine-toothed saw.
Secure the provided mounting clips to your desired surface at regular intervals.
Clean the inside of the channel and adhere your LED strip light onto the base.
Carefully snap the 10° lens diffuser into the top grooves of the channel, starting from one end and working your way along.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'wall grazing' mean?

A:Wall grazing is a lighting technique where a light fixture is placed close to a wall to cast light at a sharp angle. This technique dramatically highlights the wall's surface texture.

Q: Do the LED strip lights come with the channel?

A:No, the LED strip light is sold separately. This allows you to choose the color, brightness, and type that best suits your project.

Q: What is the difference between the 'clear' and 'semi-clear' diffuser options?

A:Both options provide the 10° focusing effect. The clear diffuser offers maximum light output with the highest intensity, while the semi-clear diffuser provides slightly more diffusion (70-80% transmittance) to soften the direct view of the LED chips.
