LED strip profile Bousval Électrique STRIP-PROF-RE1, 1 m, frosted diffuser

The aluminium LED strip profile Bousval Électrique STRIP-PROF-RE1, 1 m, with a frosted diffuser is a compact channel designed to house standard narrow LED strips and deliver uniform light distribution while protecting the LEDs. The rigid aluminium body provides a stable mounting surface and helps dissipate heat from the LED tape, while the frosted diffuser softens the light output to reduce hotspots and create an even illumination plane. The profile supports tidy, recessed or surface-mounted installations in furniture, worktops, shelving, stairs and architectural details where discreet linear lighting is required.

Advantages

The aluminium construction ensures mechanical protection and improved thermal management for LED strips, which supports longer operating life and stable light performance. The frosted diffuser produces smooth, glare-reduced light suitable for visible installations without showing individual LED points. The 1 m length and slim cross-section allow flexible placement in confined spaces and simple cutting-to-length when multiple pieces are needed. Mounting is straightforward and the profile maintains a neat, professional appearance for concealed or surface-mounted runs.

Suitable for

• Under-cabinet and under-shelf illumination
• Cabinet interiors and furniture lighting
• Accent lighting on stairs, steps and handrails
• Linear architectural details and coves
• Retail displays and exhibition stands

• Mounting options: surface-mounted or recessed installation depending on cutout and mounting accessories
• Function: mechanical protection, light diffusion and heat dissipation for LED strips

How to use

Measure and cut the profile to the required length using appropriate tools for aluminium and plastic. Insert the LED strip into the channel, ensuring the strip width matches the profile internal width and that adhesive or mounting clips secure it in place. Snap or slide the frosted diffuser into position over the channel to achieve even light output and to protect the LEDs. Fasten the profile to the mounting surface with screws or mounting clips appropriate for the chosen installation method and finish electrical connections according to local regulations and LED driver specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use LED strips with compatible width and suitable power density to avoid overheating; leave thermal contact between the LED tape and aluminium base wherever possible. For visible installations, choose high-CRI and consistent color temperature strips to achieve uniform color rendering through the frosted diffuser. When cutting and installing multiple profiles, plan for connectors or soldered joins to maintain continuous lighting and use end caps to protect the diffuser edges.
