Description
The STL-014 is a U-shaped surface-mount aluminum channel designed for clean, professional LED strip light installations, sold in a convenient 5-pack. Constructed from 6063-T5 aluminum and available in silver or black finish, each 39-inch channel accepts LED strips up to 12mm wide and includes a milky white diffuser that delivers full light diffusion with COB or high-density SMD strips while maintaining approximately 78% light transmittance. Every channel ships with a snap-in diffuser, two end caps (one with a wire-feed hole), and two surface-mounting clips for fast, secure installation.

Features +
- The U-shape profile sits flat on any surface and accepts LED strip tape up to 12mm wide, covering the majority of single-color, tunable-white, and RGB strip products.
- Extruded from 6063-T5 aluminum, the channel provides effective heat dissipation that helps extend LED strip lifespan while shielding the strip from dust, physical contact, and tampering.
- The included milky white diffuser snaps securely into the channel and softens LED hot spots into a smooth, continuous line of light while maintaining 78% light transmittance.
- Full dot-free diffusion is achieved when paired with COB LED strips or SMD strips with a density of 160 LEDs per meter or higher.
- Available in silver or black anodized finish to coordinate with surrounding surfaces, cabinetry, or architectural trim.
- Each channel can be cut to any custom length using a standard fine-tooth hacksaw or miter saw, and multiple channels can be run end-to-end for continuous runs.
- Two included mounting clips allow the channel to be screwed directly to the mounting surface for a secure, vibration-free hold.
- End caps are provided in two styles — one solid for clean termination and one with a pre-cut wire-feed hole for power entry — eliminating the need for additional drilling or finishing.
- The low-profile design measures just 0.67" wide by 0.27" tall, allowing discreet installation under cabinets, inside shelving, along toe kicks, and in other tight spaces.
- The channel is well suited for retrofitting existing exposed LED strip installations, converting bare tape runs into a finished, professional-grade appearance.
- Rated IP20 for dry indoor environments including kitchens, closets, display cases, and residential or commercial interiors.
Applications +
- Under-cabinet lighting in kitchens and prep areas for clean, low-profile task illumination
- Display cases and retail shelving where concealed strip lighting highlights products without visible hardware
- Closet and wardrobe interiors for even illumination that activates with door sensors or switches
- Toe-kick lighting in bathrooms and kitchens to provide subtle ambient light and nighttime wayfinding
- Bookshelves and built-in cabinetry where edge lighting adds depth without cluttering the design
- Cove and indirect lighting in living spaces, bedrooms, and hospitality settings for layered ambient effects
- Stairway and step lighting mounted along risers or under treads for safety and visual appeal
- Retrofitting existing LED strip installations with a finished, professional-grade enclosure
