Core Design & Profile

The S45 channel features a slim, rounded corner profile measuring 0.78 in. in both width and height — compact enough to disappear under a cabinet or into a cove, yet substantial enough to house and protect your tape light run. The internal width accommodates tape lights up to 12mm, and the included frosted lens diffuses the light evenly across the full length of the channel. Choose Brushed Aluminum for a neutral, versatile look; Matte Black for a bold, modern contrast; or White for a seamless blend into light-colored cabinetry and ceilings.

LED Illumination & Performance

The S45 channel does not emit light on its own — it is engineered to house and optimize the performance of your LED tape lights. The frosted lens eliminates individual LED hot spots, producing a continuous, even glow across the entire channel length. For the best dotless effect, pair with high-density Diode LED tape lights. The result is a lighting installation that looks intentional, refined, and professionally finished.

Power, Wiring & Linkability

Each channel is designed for straightforward installation using the included mounting clips and screws. The S45 does not include integrated wiring or linkability features, keeping the design clean and flexible. Compatible with standard tape light power supplies, dimmers, and controllers. For extended runs, simply butt two channels end-to-end for a seamless continuous look.
