Aluminum Channel for LED Flex Strip - 5 PACK
★★★★★
A few points that may be obvious to everyone else. You must use a channel! The strip light glue is not removable. If you don't use a channel you have to throw it away to move it. Also the mounting brackets are a huge help in making this work. The channel was the hardest part of my install since it wasn't hidden in my orientation so every gap is visible. Putting two of them together is hard. I cut the channel to use the connectors but that was hard as well. Installing the channels well is the difference between a good and bad install. Last point: the brackets lift the channel above the surface. When I realized this I recessed (using a chisel) the brackets so the channel would be flush with the surface. The first one I put down doesn't do this, maybe someday I'll fix it :( The diffusion works pretty well, I used the flat ones not corner. Mine point up, pointing down might be more of a problem."
