Technical Specifications

The MS-1010 is a mini square-section aluminum LED channel designed to house LED strips up to 8mm wide. With an exterior profile of 10mm by 10mm (0.39in x 0.39in) and an inner bottom clear width of 8.1mm (0.32in), this compact housing provides structural protection and passive heat dissipation for linear accent lighting. The sandblasted oxidation finish offers a fine matte surface texture, available in either silver or black. Configurable with an opal PC diffuser or a black PC diffuser, the unflanged profile can be surface-mounted using matching metal clips or set flush into a routed wood groove for recessed millwork installations.

Key Features

Ultra-Compact Square Form

Outer dimensions of 10mm by 10mm (0.39in x 0.39in) enable discreet installation in tight millwork and cabinet spaces.

Sandblasted Matte Finish

Sandblasted oxidation treatment produces a refined, low-glare surface available in silver or black.

Engineered for 8mm Strips

Bottom clear inner width of 8.1mm (0.32in) accommodates bare LED strips up to 8mm wide.

Dual Diffuser Styles

Choose between a PC opal diffuser or a stealth black PC diffuser with internal locking legs.

Versatile Mounting Options

Mount onto surfaces via matching metal clips or embed the unflanged profile into prepared wood grooves.

Technical Highlights

  • Unflanged square cross-section featuring a closed aluminum back, stepped internal retention ledges, and shallow side grooves.
  • Central PC cover snaps directly inside the cavity via two short rounded locking legs mating with internal stepped ledges.
  • Available in pre-cut lengths of 0.2m (7.87in sample), 1m (3.28ft), 2m (6.56ft), and 2.44m (8ft).
  • Direct metal contact functions as an integrated thermal pathway for compatible low-voltage flexible LED tape.

Application Scenarios

Under-Cabinet & Joinery Lighting Compact 10x10mm dimensions allow clean surface mounting underneath cabinetry, shelving, and floating display units without obtrusive hardware.
Recessed Millwork Integration The unflanged square body can be fitted directly into precision-cut wood slots, allowing the PC diffuser face to align flush with the wood surface.
Display Case & Vitrine Lighting Provides clean lines and physical protection for LED tape inside retail showcases, museum exhibits, and custom furniture framing.

How to Install This Aluminum Profile

  1. Measure the installation run and cut the aluminum channel and PC diffuser to length using an appropriate fine-tooth blade.
  2. Deburr all cut metal ends thoroughly and clean the interior base of the channel to remove metal shavings and dust.
  3. Peel the backing tape from your 8mm-wide LED strip and mount it squarely onto the 8.1mm inner channel floor.
  4. Plan the cable exit and fit the matching endcaps without pinching the LED strip leads.
  5. Align the rounded legs of the PC diffuser inside the channel cavity and press gently to lock it into the inner ledges.
  6. Secure the metal mounting clips to the mounting surface and snap the completed profile into place, or press the unflanged channel into a prepared wood groove.
⚠ Precautions
  • Confirm that your LED strip width does not exceed 8mm; standard solderless connectors may not fit within the 8.1mm clear floor.
  • Always deburr cut edges to prevent sharp aluminum burrs from damaging LED strip copper traces or wire insulation.
  • The aluminum body acts as a heat sink; ensure the LED strip is firmly adhered across the entire inner bottom surface.
  • For wood-groove installations, test-fit the channel, endcaps, and clips against a sample cut before routing, as cutting clearances are not standardized and press-fit retention is not guaranteed.

A:The MS-1010 features a bottom clear inner width of 8.1mm (0.32in), accommodating LED strips up to 8mm wide.

Q: What lengths are available for the MS-1010 profile?

A:It is available in 20cm (7.87in) sample, 1m (3.28ft), 2m (6.56ft), and 2.44m (8ft) lengths.

Q: Does the MS-1010 provide dot-free illumination?

A:Dot appearance depends on the LED pitch and density of your strip combined with the chosen diffuser; dot-free output is not guaranteed with this compact profile.

Q: How is the MS-1010 installed?

A:The primary installation method is surface mounting with the included metal clips, though the unflanged square body can also be fitted into a routed wood groove.

Q: Can standard solderless strip connectors fit inside this channel?

A:Connector fit depends on the actual connector dimensions and the internal ledges. Compare the physical connector and channel before choosing a connection method; the8.1mm floor width alone does not establish connector clearance.
