The VBD-CH-RF1 Recessed LED Aluminum Channel is available in two sizes, 2.4 meters (94.4 inches) and 3 meters (118 inches) with model number VBD-CH-RF1. It is made of anodized aluminum and comes in a silver grey color. The channel is designed for use with LED strips up to 12mm in width.
The channel can be installed in a recessed or flush mount, or surface mount configuration. The package includes a pair of end caps with wiring holes, and accessories such as additional end caps and mounting clips are sold separately.
The VBD-CH-RF1 is popular for cabinets, shelves, closets, decorative and vanity lighting applications. It is designed to prevent visible spots of the LED strip and provide a good surface finish for flush mount installation. The channel can be cut using a regular hack saw and multiple lengths can be positioned together.
The VBD-CH-RF1 acts as a heat sink for the LED strip installed in it, increasing the lifetime of the LEDs. It comes with a frosted diffuser made of polycarbonate (PC), which reduces light glare and protects the LEDs from dust and damage. The channel is also available with clear or black PC covers, as well as a 30 degree clear lens sold separately.
The aluminum material is corrosion-free and can be used for outdoor purposes with waterproof strip lights (IP 66 and higher rating). The end caps should be sealed with silicon to avoid getting in contact with water. The diffuser material, PC, is resistant to UV rays and also protects from moisture.
