Profile Light: A new trend that is booming in the market these days. Whether we talk about residential or corporate areas, you will find these profile lights everywhere.
Profile light indeed helps to increase the charm of any room. Now the major problem that arises here is; that customers do not know much about these LED Profile Lights. Whosoever knows about it; they don’t know how to install profile lights in the ceiling and the major criteria you need to follow while installing these modern lights.
We have mostly seen customers these days take ideas from Pinterest and want to install the light in the same way at their home without understanding the basics behind these lights; frankly speaking, it’s not easy to just install these profile lights in the ceiling.
You need to know every single aspect, how much deep your aluminium case should be as per your ceiling, how many bulbs your LED Strip should contain, and the major thing, what kind of adaptor you need to illuminate these lights.
There are various types of profile light designs that you can create and give an elegant touch to your room. Whether you want a linear look design, zig-zag design, square or rectangle design, everything is possible with these modern lights.
Today we are going to help you by providing every minor detail about profile light in brief. First of all, we will start with the following:
What is Profile Light?
Profile Light is the upgraded version of the LED Strip Lights, installed inside the aluminium case covered in a clear plastic tube.
This modern light consists of three major elements:
- Aluminium Case
- LED Strip
- Adaptor
1. Aluminium Case
This case mainly provides covering, and the light gets fixed inside this aluminium case. This case is available in different sizes and can vary from 6mm deep to 100mm deep, depending on your needs. As per recommendations, a 6mm deep case is more than enough in residential areas.
The maximum length in which this aluminium case is available, i.e., 10m only. So, now suppose you have a room of size 15×20 feet and want to install the profile light in the ceiling from end to end. The only way possible is to create a joint in the profile light so it can reach the other end.
But as per our experience, the joint in the profile light doesn’t look good, so it’s necessary to finalize the design before purchasing the aluminium case.
For regular use, we recommend you should go for the high-quality case due to the heat-resistant feature; otherwise, if your purpose is to decorate the room, then you should go for a low-quality case as it’s cheaper also.
2. LED Strip
LED Strip Light is the second most essential thing; that is used to get fixed inside the aluminium case. The strip light is available in different varieties, from colours to bulbs, a wide range of categories exist.
Suppose you want to illuminate your whole 15×20 feet room, then we recommend you should go for 240 LED per meter strip – it means there are a total of 240 small light bulbs in that 1-meter strip. So, in simple words, we can say that – the higher the amount of bulbs in the per meter strip is equal to higher the amount of light.
On the other hand, if your purpose is to highlight any wall art or create a cozy environment, we recommend you should go for a 90 LED per meter strip or 120 LED per meter strip.

3. Adaptor
The third most important thing that supplies power to this whole system is adaptor. Because you can’t directly plug in the profile light switch in the socket, so adaptor works as an intermediate to supply the power to the light.
There are a wide range of adaptors available in the market. You must be wondering that from these wide range of adaptors how we can choose the one which we require to glow our profile light.
The simple hack for this is that; the higher the amount of bulbs in the per meter strip is equal to higher the amount of power supply adaptor. So now, easily calculate it and decide which adaptor is the perfect fit for you.
Now moving on to the next segment, we will be going to discuss:
How To Install Profile Light in the Ceiling?
Step 1: Finalize the profile light design so that you can adjust things accordingly without facing any problems. Finalizing is the most important step because only after this can you get an idea about how many aluminium cases you need to create your design properly.
Step 2: Hand over the aluminium cases to your false ceiling contractor and ask him to carefully cut the grooves of the exact size.
Step 3: Call your electrician now, and ask him to properly fix the aluminium cases in the ceiling with the help of screws and adhesive for strong hold.
Step 4: Paste your LED Strip Light in the aluminium case by removing the back-side tape. There is no need to apply any adhesive because strip lights are available with pre-applied self-adhesive. Make sure that the strip light is fixed properly on the aluminium case.
Step 5: Ask your electrician to make a small hole at the end of the aluminium case so that the strip wires can easily pass through it, and you can hide the wires in the ceiling.
Step 6: Connect the adaptor to your strip light wires and make it ready for use. After supplying the power to the strip light, ensure everything works fine.
Step 7: If everything is fine, fix the plastic cover over your aluminium case; this is how your profile light is installed successfully in the ceiling.
