Product Information
Full details
The Muzata U108 LED Aluminium Channel is designed for lighting enthusiasts and homeowners aiming for a seamless, professional-grade neon lighting aesthetic. Its primary benefit is the 60-degree curved cover, which excels at diffusing light to eliminate unsightly LED hot spots, provided you pair it with high-density light strips. While it offers a premium look, users should be aware that its 20mm depth requires adequate clearance for surface mounting in tight spaces.

FAQs
Does this channel come with mounting clips?
Yes, typical Muzata kits include the necessary mounting hardware and end caps for a complete installation.
Can I use waterproof LED strips in this channel?
Yes, as long as the total width of the waterproof strip does not exceed 12mm.
How do I cut the aluminum profile?
You can cut the aluminum channel using a standard miter saw with an aluminum-cutting blade or a manual hacksaw.
Will this work with Philips Hue strips?
Most standard Philips Hue strips are roughly 12mm wide, so they will fit, but ensure your specific version is not wider than the channel interior.
Is the cover UV resistant?
The diffuser cover is designed for indoor use; prolonged direct sunlight exposure may cause yellowing over many years.
Can these be connected end-to-end?
Yes, the profiles can be mounted side-by-side to create long, continuous runs of lighting.
Troubleshooting
Visible light spots (hot spots) appear.
Check your LED strip density. You need at least 60 LEDs/m. If your strip is lower density, consider using a higher-density COB or SMD strip.
Diffuser cover is difficult to snap in.
Ensure the channel is mounted perfectly straight. If the channel is bent during installation, the cover will not seat correctly.
LED strip keeps peeling off inside the channel.
Wipe the inside of the aluminum channel with isopropyl alcohol to remove manufacturing oils or dust before sticking the strip down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first measure and cut your aluminum channels to the desired length using a fine-tooth hacksaw. Secure the channels to your surface using appropriate mounting clips or double-sided adhesive tape. Apply your LED strip into the base of the channel, ensuring the adhesive backing makes full contact with the clean aluminum surface. Finally, align the milky white cover at one end and press firmly along the length of the channel until it snaps securely into place. To maintain the finish and light quality, clean the cover periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may fog the milky diffuser material.
