This IP65 surface-mounted LED profile is designed to offer protection against dust and exposure to light water exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture and dust may be a concern.

 

Using an IP65 surface-mounted LED profile ensures that LED strips remain protected from external factors, enhancing their longevity and performance. When selecting such profiles, it's crucial to ensure the seals, end caps, and any other accessories are correctly installed to maintain the IP65 rating.

 

Hints and tips:

Diffusers

Diffusers will affect the brightness and CCT (colour temperature) of an LED tape when housed in a LED channel or profile. The included semi clear diffuser means 70-75% of the brightness of the installed LED strip light will shine through.

 

As well as the brightness, diffusers will also alter the kelvin temperature of the installed LED strip light by approximately 10%. Opal diffusers will make the kelvin temperature/CCT appear warmer, semi clear diffusers will make the Kelvin Temperature/CCT appear cooler and transparent diffusers will have no effect.

 

As an example, a 6000K 1000 lumen per metre LED strip light installed inside a metre length of LED channel using an opal diffuser would create a light bar with an overall output of approximately 5600K and 450 to 500 lumens.

 

Non-spotting finish

To achieve a highly desired non spotting finish, consider using this profile with an LED tape of more than 120 LEDs per metre or a COB LED strip light. As a rule of thumb, the more LEDs per metre on your chosen strip light, the less chance there will be of a spotting/dotting effect.
