LED Aluminum Profiles - Premium Extrusions for Lighting Solutions

Product Applications

1) Under-cabinet & task lighting (kitchens, labs, workbenches)

• Creates a crisp “built-in” line instead of a visible strip and adhesive.

• Protects the LED tape from steam, grease, cleaning chemicals, and accidental contact.

• Provides a rigid mounting reference so installers hit a straight line across long runs.

2) Retail displays & shelving (luxury, electronics, cosmetics)

• Helps you achieve consistent, premium-looking light lines that don’t distract from merchandise.

• Diffuser + channel hides hotspots, creating smoother illumination on products.

• Aluminum structure makes repeated rollouts faster across many stores.

3) Architectural coves, wall grazers & feature lines (offices, hotels, galleries)

• Supports long, continuous runs with better alignment and cleaner edge definition.

• Enables concealed cable paths and neat transitions at corners and joints.

• Surface finishes can match surrounding metalwork or interior palettes. 

4) Signage, lightboxes & wayfinding

• Improves reliability by keeping the LED tape supported and protected.

• Makes servicing predictable (swap strip/diffuser rather than re-building the whole assembly).

5) Industrial & enclosure lighting (control cabinets, inspection bays, equipment stations)

• Adds mechanical protection against vibration and minor impact.

• Allows fast, standardized mounting inside enclosures and frames—useful for OEM builds. 

Thermal Management: The Quiet Reason Profiles Save Money

LEDs don’t “fail suddenly” in most commercial installs—they degrade: lumen output drops, color shifts, adhesives soften, and hotspots show up. Aluminum extruded profiles act as a thermal pathway that draws heat away from the LED mounting surface, which is especially important in high-power LED systems where thermal control protects performance and longevity. 

What this means for buyers:

• Fewer callbacks due to premature dimming or color inconsistency

• More stable lighting performance across long operating hours

• A more forgiving installation window (less sensitivity to tiny mounting imperfections)

Design Flexibility That Helps Engineers and Installers

Red Cherry Aluminum emphasizes custom extrusion capability—from simple channels to highly customized shapes—based on CAD drawings and die design. 

For LED projects, that flexibility translates into practical wins:

• Integrated cable management channels to hide wiring

• Mounting features (slots, lips, grooves) that reduce secondary brackets

• Profile geometries tailored to corners, recess mounting, or surface mount needs

• Consistent length production—extruded profiles are typically produced in long lengths (commonly 3–6 meters), then cut to project requirements for better yield and alignment control.
