Aluminium recessed LED profile Prescot TAKO-ML-1M 1 m anodized frosted for micro LED strips

Prescot TAKO-ML-1M is a 1‑metre anodized aluminium recessed LED profile designed for micro LED strips (MICRO‑K). The slim, recessed housing accommodates narrow LED tape and a frosted diffuser to create even, glare‑reduced illumination. Intended for installations where a low-profile, protected channel is needed, this aluminium profile improves heat dissipation from the LED strip and secures the tape in a flush, integrated finish for cabinets, furniture, stairs or niches.

Advantages

The anodized aluminium construction provides mechanical protection and enhances thermal conduction to extend LED lifetime. The frosted diffuser softens point‑source hotspots and delivers a more uniform light line while concealing individual LEDs for a cleaner appearance. The recessed design enables discreet integration into wood, drywall or other surfaces, creating a seamless look with reduced edge visibility. The profile is compatible with micro LED strips and supports tidy installation with a fixed channel for adhesive or clip mounting.

Suitable for

• Under-cabinet and kitchenette lighting
• Built-in furniture illumination (shelves, wardrobes)
• Step and stair accent lighting
• Niche and groove lighting in walls or ceilings
• Decorative linear lighting where compact recessed mounting is required

Key specifications

• Material: anodized aluminium housing with frosted polycarbonate diffuser
• Length: 1 metre recessed profile
• Compatibility: micro-width LED tapes (MICRO‑K style)
• Installation type: recessed/inset mounting into panels or substrates
• Diffuser finish: frosted for softened light and reduced glare
• Primary function: mechanical protection, heat dissipation and light diffusion

How to use

Plan the recessed channel location and cut an opening sized to the profile dimensions in the mounting surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before placing the profile. Insert the micro LED strip into the channel, align it centrally under the diffuser and secure it using the strip adhesive or mounting clips where applicable. Press the frosted diffuser into the profile until it clicks or sits flush. Connect the LED strip to the driver according to the strip manufacturer’s instructions and test the light before finishing the surrounding surface.

Usage recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, avoid placing the profile directly over heat‑insulating materials that would prevent heat transfer. Choose LED strips with compatible width and heat output ratings for micro channels, and observe recommended current and driver specifications. When recessing into cabinetry or panels, leave access for wiring and serviceability, and follow local electrical safety standards during installation.
