They accept LED tape, a diffuser, and mounting clips. Common slot widths are 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm. Wall thickness typically runs 0.8\u20131.2 mm.

LED strip compatibility<\/h3>\n<p>Measure actual tape width and thickness, including any heat spreader. Pick a profile that lists the maximum strip width and thickness.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Heat management<\/h3>\n<p>Slim sections have less surface area. Use them with low-power strips (up to about 8\u201312 W\/m). For higher power, use a larger profile, add a thermal pad, or allow more airflow.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Surface finish and corrosion resistance<\/h3>\n<p>Choose the right finish for the project. For indoor use, choose <a href=\"https:\/\/hhalum.com\/it\/anodizzare\/\">Anodizzare<\/a> O <a href=\"https:\/\/hhalum.com\/it\/rivestimento-di-potenza\/\">Rivestimento di potenza<\/a>. For wet or coastal sites, prefer marine-grade anodizing or special coatings.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Diffuser choice<\/h3>\n<p>Diffusers come in clear, semi-clear, and frosted. Clear diffusers give highest light output. Frosted diffusers reduce glare and give a smooth line.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Mounting options<\/h3>\n<p>Profiles can mount recessed, surface-mounted, in corners, or suspended. Each method needs the right clip or bracket.<\/p>\n<h2>Thermal and optical performance<\/h2>\n<p>Aluminum profiles act as passive heat sinks. They lower LED junction temperature and extend life. For best results:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ensure the LED tape sits flat against the profile base.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Use a thermal pad if the tape has a thick silicone layer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Avoid fully sealed, unventilated installations with high-power tape.<\/p>\n<p>HHALUM can provide thermal test reports and temperature rise data on request.

Leave 1\u20132 mm clearance for adjustment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Fix the profile with clips, screws, or high-temp adhesive as needed.
