Product Description

14x7mm Surface-Mounted or Recessed LED Aluminum Profile | Ultra-Compact 10.2mm Inner Recess for Strip Lighting Sets for Cabinets, Wardrobes, and Display Shelves

The 14x7mm ultra-thin LED aluminum profile provides professional linear lighting in environments with extremely limited space. With a width of only 14mm and a height of just 7mm, this profile is ideal for cabinetry, joinery, and furniture installation in America, especially where larger profiles cannot be installed. Whether you're illuminating the bottom of a floating shelf, adding lighting within narrow wardrobe rail recesses, or remodeling a boutique retailer's display case, the 14x7mm profile provides a concealed and virtually invisible lighting solution, making the light itself, rather than the fixture, the focus.

Despite its compact size, this profile doesn't compromise on performance. The 10.2mm inner width easily accommodates 5mm and 8mm LED strips, including narrow COB strips that produce seamless, spotless lighting. Made from premium 6063-T5 anodized aluminum by extrusion, this LED strip features efficient heat dissipation to protect your LED light bar. The included white PC milky diffuser softens the light into a uniform ribbon-like pattern.

Why are American cabinet manufacturers, joinery workers, and DIY enthusiasts choosing 14x7mm LED strips?

The ultra-compact 14x7mm profile is perfect for small spaces: Many LED strips on the America market are too bulky for space-constrained spaces such as modern flat-pack cabinets, narrow wardrobe aisles, and shallow display shelves. This 14x7mm profile, with a height of only 7mm, easily fits into shallow 8-10mm recesses, making it ideal for installation under shelves, inside drawers, and in narrow woodworking gaps. In these gaps, standard 17mm or 20mm profiles would be noticeably protruding, even obstructing the closing of drawers and cabinet doors. Its 14mm width makes it visually minimal in size, almost invisible after installation—especially when paired with a milky diffuser that blends seamlessly with light-colored cabinets.

10.2mm Inner Width – Perfect Fit for 5mm and 8mm Strips: The internal channel is precision-extruded at 10.2mm, ensuring a perfect fit with the two most commonly used strip widths in America cabinet and wardrobe lighting, preventing wobbling: 5mm single-row SMD strips provide energy-efficient ambient lighting, while 8mm COB strips offer superior spotless work lighting. The close-fitting design helps secure the strip in the center of the diffuser area, ensuring the strip doesn't shift to one side during installation for symmetrical light output.

Superior Heat Dissipation with Premium 6063-T5 Anodized Aluminum: Despite its slim profile, the 14x7mm light trough achieves effective passive heat dissipation through its aluminum body. This is especially important in enclosed cabinet and wardrobe environments with limited ventilation, as heat buildup can accelerate LED aging. The 6063-T5 alloy offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the light trough remains rigid and dent-resistant during handling and installation, while also allowing for easy on-site cutting to the required length.

White, milky-white diffuser for soft, glare-free lighting: The included milky-white diffuser transforms harsh LED point sources into a soft, continuous band of light. The milky-white surface evenly diffuses light across the entire width of the light trough, eliminating visible glare and LED spots that can appear through clear or frosted shades. This is especially important when installing under cabinets, where some light sources may be visible from certain angles—the milky-white diffuser ensures clean, professional lighting from all angles.

Easy surface mounting with all accessories: The included stainless steel clips and screws allow for direct mounting to any flat surface. No grooving, cutting, or adhesives are required. The clip system provides a secure, vibration-free hold that can withstand the opening and closing of cabinet doors and drawers. For applications requiring even lower height, the shallow 7mm depth also allows you to embed the fixture into the bottom of wooden shelves or cabinet panels using a straight slot milling cutter—achieving a truly flush installation in high-end woodworking projects.

Convenient multi-pack options for easy installation: Available in 1-meter and 2-meter lengths, and in packs of 5 or 10 pieces, allowing you to configure according to your needs for single-room upgrades or the installation of an entire kitchen and wardrobe. Bulk packs reduce unit costs for trading customers and ensure consistency in inventory specifications for large projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size LED strip is suitable for this fixture?

A: The 10.2mm inner width design accommodates LED strips up to 8mm wide, with 5mm strips being the most common choice for this compact fixture. Both standard SMD light strips (5mm or 8mm wide) and narrow COB light strips are perfectly compatible. COB light strips offer optimal spotless continuous light output and are highly recommended for visible installations. To ensure proper installation, ensure the PCB width of the selected light strip does not exceed 8mm.

Q: Can this profile be used for recessed installations?

A: Yes. The shallow depth of 7mm makes it suitable for light recessed applications. Using a trimmer with a 14mm straight flute cutter, you can mill a groove approximately 7mm deep into the bottom of wooden shelves, cabinet panels, or joinery surfaces for a truly flush installation. This is popular in high-end kitchen and wardrobe installations where a seamless, recessed look is required. Surface mounting using the included clips remains the standard and simplest installation method.

Q: Can this profile be painted or trimmed?

A: Both. The anodized silver finish can be painted to match the color of your custom cabinetry, but we recommend lightly sanding the surface with fine sandpaper and applying a metallic primer first to ensure good paint adhesion. Before painting the entire installation, always test on a small scrap piece. The aluminum body can be cut to the required length using a fine-toothed hacksaw or a miter saw with a non-ferrous blade. The PC diffuser can be trimmed with a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed plastic cutter. Remove all burrs from cut edges before assembly.

Q: Can this profile be used with 12mm wide LED strips?

A: No. The 10.2mm inner width is incompatible with 12mm strips. For strips wider than 8mm, we recommend the 1707B profile with an inner width of 12.2mm. Always measure the width of the LED strip PCB before ordering.

Q: Is this profile suitable for outdoor use?

A: The 14x7mm profile is primarily designed for indoor applications. For sheltered outdoor areas, such as covered decks or eaves, it can be used with IP65+ rated LED strips and sealed end caps. For outdoor installations that are completely exposed to the elements, we recommend using dedicated outdoor profiles with a higher IP protection rating.

Q: How do I connect two profiles to extend the connection length?

A: The profiles can be butt-jointed end-to-end and connected using mounting clips located at the joint points.
