LED technology continues to stand out as an energy-efficient and versatile option. LED lighting profiles, in particular, have gained popularity for their ability to enhance aesthetics and provide functional lighting solutions. Whether you're a homeowner or a business owner, understanding LED lighting profiles is crucial in making informed decisions for your lighting needs. In this buyer's guide, we'll delve into the key aspects of LED lighting profiles, covering everything from their types to their applications.

What is LED Profile Light?

LED profile lights are innovative fixtures designed to house LED strips, offering a sleek and contemporary look while providing efficient illumination. These profiles serve both practical and decorative purposes, making them a popular choice for various settings, including residential and commercial spaces. At Premium Tile Trim we stock LED lighting profiles from some popular and reliable brands, namely Dural and their Dural Duralis range, Schluter and their Schluter Liprotec range, and Genesis and their Genesis Vision range.

Applications of LED Strip Light Profiles

LED strip light profiles allow you to set a pleasant ambiance, bright and welcoming, or dimmed night lighting in your home or commercial space. Some of the go-to places where LED trims can be used are in bathrooms, behind sinks, mirrors, and around niches. In kitchens around splashbacks, for stair nosing, around skirting, or simply for detailing wall edges. Various applications include:

• Task Lighting:
  • Illuminate specific work areas with precision and clarity.
• Ambient Lighting:
  • Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by strategically placing LED profiles.
• Decorative Lighting:
  • Enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space with creative lighting designs.
• Highlighting Architectural Features:
  • Use LED profiles to draw attention to architectural details and elements.
• As A Safety Feature:
  • LED profiles are great as a safety feature when fitting stair nosings, due to non-slip PVC-based inserts and ‘light down configuration’.

The SQUARELINE-LED Basic Edging Profile 2.5m by Dural is a popular option, with a strut for glueing LED strips and the white translucent cover with the diffuse light function for LED illumination, and also works well with the LED Wall Dimmer Switch by Dural, for an easy to fit and visually attractive aesthetic.
