Lightingwill Clear LED Aluminum Channel V Shape Corner Mounted 6.6Ft/2M 20 Pack Sliver Extrusion for <12mm 5050 3528 LED Flex/Hard Strip Lights with Covers, End Caps, and Mounting Clips TP-V02S20

I LIKE the shape of the corner style. They fit just behind the front facing of the bottom cabinets well. It allows me to make them virtually unnoticeable.Although they supply a cheap plastic brackets. I think that mocks the quality extruded aluminum channels and the overall usefull durability of the product having to rely on them. I think I lost them after unpacking... But I have a better plan...I WISH that they had some mounting holes and screws to make it easier for the average user to install. I don't like having to rely on double stick tape if I can avoid it. Heat, time and a bump or two in it's lifetime may cause them to fall.SO I applied my own method with great results. Here is what I did to secure it to the cabinets. Pictures should be posted as well. I chose to purchase tiny + head screws that fit flush between the outer edge where the plastic diffuser is attached. And before the center surface that the lighting strip is adhered to. There is not a lot of room but enough for the right screw. Keep in mind that we are working with very light material so that the right wood or sheet metal screw in the correct places will work just fine. So we don't need very large screws or a ton of them. Now the trick to get the holes pre-drilled EXACTLY where you need them could have been tricky. But not this way. First you need to measure your surface width and find a screw head no larger than that.Then decide how deep you can go into the cabinet you are screwing into. For me it was the back of the cabinet facing. Which was 5/8". And found a screw that was 1/2". Next you will need a dial caliper to find perfect width of the flat surface of this aluminum you will be screwing into.Use exactly half of that measurement and adjust your dial caliper to that new setting.Then lock that setting into the dial caliper and "score" the surface of that aluminum along the whole length. This will be your exact center you've located so that the screw head will lay flat against this tiny surface.Then plot your screw hole distances according to where you can screw it in. And how long your aluminum channel is cut to. I used 5 screws for one full meter channel. And 2 screws for the 15" and 3 screws for the 24" lengths. And it worked great.Now use a hole punch to set a defining point at which the first drill bit can catch on and not walk out of center.Then use a very small drill bit for the first hole.After you created the first hole with the tiny bit, put that aside for the other holes. Use a second bit to drill the correct size of the screw so it will easily slide threw afterwards. Remember to use a correct size drill bit for this last step. You do not want the hole to large. And you do not want this hole to small for the screw to grab the aluminum. Because you want the screw to cinch down well on the cabinet, not grab the aluminum when you screw it in place.Now repeat on every hole and you're done!! Hope this helps someone.Cheers!p.s. make sure you don't misplace your end pieces. I somehow did this while unpacking, I think.

I'm installing some strips of LED lights around the outside of a window frame. I need this installation to look good and be protected from kids. These channels offered the perfect solution.For the looking good, I'm extremely happy I went with black metal. Our wood window frames are a dark stained wood, so the typical silver or white channels would look out of place. These blend in nicely.They also seem to provide a good level of protection to the LED strip. The installation is in a reading nook, and the pillows here constantly push up against the area where the lights are, so they would soon be destroyed without this level of protection.The installation was easy, and cutting through these with a hacksaw to get the perfect size was not difficult at all. It is very easy to scratch the black paint with the saw, so be careful there.The only thing I don't like about these is the mounting system. The plastic clips would have made these stick away from the windows, and would be very visible. Instead, I ran some 3M double sides mounting tape (I used half inch wide) the length of the channel and pressed it into place. This seemed to create a very strong bond, and looks way better.

Great product. The only thing I would like them to add extra end caps and mounting clips. Originally comes with 10 of each for the 5 pack but if you plan to cut them at different lengths and perhaps get 3 sections out of a single piece (let's say for an under-cabinet kitchen project) then you'll need more end caps and mounting clips and couldn't find them separately at a good price and none had Amazon Primer (sorry, I'm spoiled by the two-day shipping :)

I used this to assemble my own LED light Strips for under counter lighting.Everything fit precisely and worked as intended.Of special note the aluminum alloy used for this extrusion is soft and lightweight. That was important because there was a fair amount of mitering inside and outside corners on my project followed by smoothing the slots and edges so the end caps and lenses would fit. In my case it worked really well. They provide 20 end caps, screws, clips and wall plugs. You are free to engineer your own system and attach it as you see fit but with what they provide you get a good system that works.The LED Strip Lights are (as you know) self adhesive. In my case the aluminum was perfectly clean and I encountered no issues with adhesion.One successful LED project seems to lead to several more. In my case I will return to this vendor and buy their channels and lens kits again.

I purchased these to install my phillips hue lighting into the corner of my ceiling, these are very sturdy aluminuim strips. I only needed three out of five of them, so I will store the other for later use. I have not tried installing the covers onto the lights yet.I did not use the included hardware to mount the strips. I used outdoor 3M tape to mount them. I live in an apartment and do not want to screw into the walls more than I have to.

Purchased both brown and aluminum frames w/clear and shaded screen covers.Agree w/many that the covers are hard to install but once done properly they are secure in place.Tip Start on one end. Place the cover into the guide slots and gradually snap into place. Work on down the line as you hear a snap. It's properly in place.Tip Screen placement is easiest when the frame is securely fastened to the subject area. Because it takes a good amount of pressure to snap the covers in place the frame is likely to move when doing so. As many other DIY have stated; drill a small hole and use screws to attach the frame. These will keep the frame from moving during installation and reduce frustration for sure! Since the frame is aluminum it is very easy to drill holes through.

Which is the good news.... if like me, you are planning on fitting these along the inner edge of the pelmet in the kitchen units (9 meters of them in my case) then please read on and take careful note of whether or not you REALLY want to do this.I'll start by making your life easier than mine was.... buy some decent double sided sticky tape when you order these, you'll thank me for it later.The clips are nice and simple to fit, work very well, no drama thereThe rail clips into the mounting clips very simply... works very wellThe Philips light strip is just a tiny bit wider than the flat recess the led strip should mount to. there's plenty of room in there though with the curved shape of the diffuser though, so it's not an issue in terms of space. HOWEVER.... the sticky tape on the Philips strips is not the best to begin with, add in a slightly too narrow space to stick it down to and the flexibility of the strip allows it to stick..... for about 4 seconds.Now take into account that while attempting to attach the diffuser, you are going to be bent over backwards across the worktop, wondering why you ever considered this to be a good idea... and seeing two 1mm wide grooves in the aluminium channel, and a near paper thin edge to the curved diffuser.... and realising this is going to be a little bit fiddly to say the least! Add in the lightstrip falling down and removing the diffuser from the small amount of progress you had made in attaching it, I can only advise that you attempt this, well out of the earshot of children... and if you have a swear box in the house..... definitely out of range of the money collector.Additional double sided tape will not only be stronger, but also adds a little depth to the strip and allows a good seating contact and keeps things in place.Now... back to that diffuser. I can see why people say it doesn't fit... it's fiddly, very very very fiddly.... but after just completing fitting 9 of them, there's a simple technique to it.Line up one edge in the groove, then press the other edge firmly towards the aluminium channel, and you'll hear a little click.... then firmly slide finger along the channel, and a satisfying series of creaks and clicks will inform you it's slotting into place. The mounting clips for the aluminium WILL tear the edge of your finger nail if you get carried away with the excitement of figuring out how to do this and go too quickly. The textured finish to the frosted diffuser WILL give you a lovely blister on the edge of your finger tip if you use the same finger to attach 9 meters of the stuff.It definitely fits though, and makes a real nice job and finish of the task. Simple yet effective... just take your time and think about how that cover needs to flex to attach it. Don't force it as it's so thin the edge getting twisted will create a big headache trying to fix.... it's more technique than force that's required, and once figured out.... it's almost amusing how frustrated you were with it to begin with.

Good value profile with a hole down the channel which is useful for running and extra wire down. The lens pops on and off easily but can fracture when cutting with a mitre saw so be careful.

Glued these up. No predrilled holes. Diffuser takes a little patience fitting. Line up in small lip. Run finger along to push in to place in the top lip. Do it when temperature is warm makes them more ply able.

Does the job!

Order supplied quickly. No issues with product quality.

After making two panels with 4 x 3m led lights I decided it would be nice to try and screen them out by shielding them with a two inch wooden beading, so you could not see the leds when illuminated but the colour only on the back panels.For the 5m lengths I decided to use these covers as they were falsely sold under the assumption they would fluoresce, which they do not. When illuminated you still see the individual leds and the light are a series of dots making up the colour, a very poor effect and nothing like the photograph shown.In addition they fit together poorly and in my opinion not worth the money or effort

I am very happy with the Lighting Will LEd strips i got them to go under the new kitchen wall cabinets. I have three wall cabinets 2 X 100 cmand 1 X 140 cm if you want to fit them to a wall cabinet 100 cm you might need to trim the aluminum profile strip to fit.

A perfect solution for my needs. Very pleased

Exactly what I needed, great quality, perfect for the job. Many thanks from a very happy customer.

Cover doesn’t stay on.

A superb effect and easily controlled brightness and dimming

Perfect light diffusion for void ceiling
