Mini T12 Aluminum LED Strip Channel
Our Mini T12 Low Profile Aluminum and Black Channels are designed to work with Boogey Lights RGB and Single Color LOW PROFILE LED light strips (they will not work with our HEAVY DUTY LED strips). Note that while it is possible to fit the RGBA or RGBW LOW PROFILE LED strips into the channel, use extreme caution when doing so. Why? The inside aluminum channel measurement and the RGBx LED strip outside width are nearly the same. You run the real risk of damaging the LED strip if you use too much pressure to force the LED strip into the channel. These aluminum channels and the optional opal and smoke diffuser make for a clean and professional look in situations where the LED strips are in plain view. The diffuser gives off a nice glow lighting effect too. Note that the smoke diffuser will reduce the light by about 33%.
The Mini T12 aluminum channel is a low profile design that can be mounted just about anywhere. The Mini T12 has an anodized finish (electrostatic sprayed) which provides maximum protection against the elements. The aluminum channel acts as a heat sink too. They're ideal for harsh indoor or outdoor use to protect the LEDs. The channel can be mounted any number of ways including adhesive tape, rivets or screws. Then, our LED strips fit nicely into the channel using the 3M tape already affixed to the back of Boogey Lights LED rolls. The diffuser completes the installation by snapping into the channel. Available in standard ALUMINUM finish and BLACK finish. Diffusers are OPAL and SMOKE. Note that we only offer the Black Aluminum channels and diffusers in the 78" lengths. There are no end caps. On outdoor installations we advise adding Lexel to the ends of the channel as well as along the sides (if the snap in diffuser is used) to seal it. Installation Documentation can be downloaded here. If your application requires longer lengths, simply use multiple channels. We do it all the time. These channels are not available in longer lengths (shipping costs would be prohibitive).
We provide these aluminum channels as a convenience to customers who purchase our lighting systems. We use them too for our own installations here at Boogey Lights HQ. We however are not the manufacturer. You can purchase similar channels elsewhere; often for less.
