Technical Specifications

The MS-7.8x9A Recessed Mini LED Channel provides a compact, flush-mounted housing engineered specifically for narrow LED strips up to 5mm wide. Featuring an outer flange width of 12.4mm (0.49 in), an overall height of 9mm (0.35 in), and a body outer width of 7.6mm (0.30 in), this mini profile embeds cleanly into routed slots across indoor cabinetry, custom millwork, furniture, and accent paneling. The solid aluminum wings overlap the routed edges to conceal cut lines, while the PC diffuser snaps firmly into the 5.2mm (0.20 in) internal clear channel cavity via dual internal locking legs. Available in silver or black finishes with opal or black PC covers, it delivers effective thermal dissipation and physical protection in ultra-slim installations.

Key Features

Ultra-Slim 5.2mm Cavity

Engineered with a 5.2mm (0.20 in) clear inner width designed specifically for mini LED strips up to 5mm.

Integrated Flanged Wings

Solid aluminum wings with a total outer span of12.4mm (0.49 in) rest flush against the mounting surface to cleanly conceal rough routed edges.

Snap-In Locking PC Diffuser

Cover bridges the central opening with two internal locking legs engaging directly into the profile cavity.

Versatile Architectural Finishes

Offered in silver or black aluminum finishes with either PC opal or black PC diffusers.

Passive Thermal Management

Conductive aluminum channel draws heat away from sensitive LED components to support operational stability.

Technical Highlights

  • 12.4mm (0.49 in) outer flange width overlaps cut openings on the exposed mounting panel face.
  • Profile body width of 7.6mm (0.30 in) and height of 9mm (0.35 in) allows low-profile recessed integration.
  • 5.2mm (0.20 in) internal clear channel width fits specialized slim LED tape lights up to 5mm wide.
  • Diffuser cover snaps directly into the central opening without extending horizontally over the solid wings.
  • Offered in multiple standard lengths: 20cm (7.87 in) sample, 1m (3.28 ft), 2m (6.56 ft), and 2.44m (8 ft).

Application Scenarios

Custom Cabinetry & Shelving Recess flush inside routed cabinet shelves, retail display cases, and under-cabinet panels where a slim, low-profile linear channel is required.
Fine Furniture & Millwork Embed inside narrow wooden grooves across wardrobes, desks, and headboards using 5mm LED strip lights to add integrated architectural accent lighting.
Wall Panels & Architectural Details Install within interior wall panel seams and decorative vertical slats, using the solid aluminum wings to provide a clean, finished edge transition.

How to Install This Aluminum Profile

  1. Measure the physical channel body width and included mounting clips directly to determine accurate groove routing dimensions.
  2. Route the channel slot into your cabinet, furniture, or wall panel, verifying depth accommodates the 9mm profile height.
  3. Cut the aluminum profile and PC diffuser to the required installation length using a fine-tooth saw blade, and thoroughly deburr all edges.
  4. Clean the interior 5.2mm channel base and adhere the compatible 5mm LED strip smoothly along the center.
  5. Plan the cable exit and fit the matching end caps without pinching the LED strip leads.
  6. Insert the profile into the prepared routed groove and press the PC diffuser cover into place until the locking legs snap securely inside the cavity.
⚠ Precautions
  • Verify your LED strip width does not exceed 5mm; the internal clear width is 5.2mm.
  • Always test fit physical hardware and measure actual clip and body dimensions rather than cutting to exact flange dimensions.
  • Deburr all cut edges on both aluminum and plastic covers to prevent nicking wire insulation during assembly.
  • Adhere the LED strip directly to the bare aluminum surface to maintain proper heat dissipation.
