Hjørne profile is specifically designed for 45° directional lighting, making it ideal for installations where light needs to be angled, such as towards a backsplash or within a display cabinet.

Mounting the Channel

The included mounting brackets provide an easy and secure method for attaching the channel to the desired surface. These brackets can also serve as connectors between channels when running multiple sections in sequence to create a longer fixture.

Diffuser Installation and Benefits

The frosted polymer cover (diffuser) is designed to be fitted onto the channel after the LED tape light strip is in place. This cover conceals the individual LEDs and diffuses the light output, softening the illumination and minimizing reflective hot spots on nearby surfaces. This is particularly beneficial for installations where the lighting will be visible.

Betjeningsvejledning

Once installed, the channel mount itself does not require specific operation. Its primary function is to house and protect your LED tape lights. The operation of your lighting system will depend on the type of LED tape light, power supply, and controls (e.g., dimmers, switches, smart home integration) you have connected to the system.

Refer to the instruction manuals provided with your specific LED tape lights, power supply, and control devices for detailed operating procedures.

Opretholdelse

The aluminum channel and polycarbonate diffuser are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. To clean the channel and diffuser, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or the diffuser material.

Periodically inspect the mounting brackets and screws to ensure they remain secure. If any components appear loose or damaged, tighten or replace them as necessary.

Fejlfinding

This section addresses common issues related to the channel mount itself. For issues related to the LED lights or power supply, refer to their respective manuals.

Channel Not Holding Securely

• Spørgsmål: The channel feels loose after installation.
• Løsning: Ensure that the mounting brackets are properly aligned and securely fastened with the provided screws. If using adhesive tape, verify that the surface is clean, dry, and suitable for adhesive application.

Diffuser Not Fitting Properly

• Spørgsmål: The diffuser is difficult to snap into place or falls out.
• Løsning: Ensure the diffuser is oriented correctly. Apply even pressure along the length of the diffuser to snap it into the channel grooves. If the channel was cut, ensure the cut edges are smooth and free of burrs that might obstruct the diffuser.
