Silver XT-1138 One-Sided LED Aluminum Channel for Plaster-In Drywall, Fits LED Strips Up to 13mm Wide, with Milky White Diffuser

Key Features

• Single Upper-Flange Plaster-In Design: The XT-1138 features a single upper flange designed for integration into drywall and plasterboard, creating a clean architectural lighting finish after installation.
• 0.8mm Thick Aluminum Profile: Constructed from approximately 0.8mm thick aluminum for a lightweight profile suitable for integrated LED strip lighting projects.
• Fits LED Strips Up to Approx. 13mm Wide: Designed to accommodate LED strip lights up to approximately 13mm wide, making it suitable for many commonly used residential and commercial LED strip configurations.
• 13mm Profile Reference Size: The XT-1138 uses a compact 13mm profile format suitable for architectural lighting applications where a relatively narrow integrated channel is preferred.
• Milky White PC Diffuser: The included milky white PC cover helps soften visible LED points and creates a cleaner, more uniform finished linear lighting appearance.
• Installation Accessories Included: Matching end caps, screws, and expansion anchors are included with the channel. Accessory quantities vary according to the selected pack size.
• Plaster-In Architectural Finish: The upper flange is designed to integrate into the surrounding drywall or plaster finish so the aluminum profile blends naturally into the wall or ceiling surface.
• Available in 1M, 2M & 3M Lengths: Multiple length options support both shorter decorative sections and longer continuous architectural lighting installations.
• Multiple Pack Options: Available in selected 4-Pack, 6-Pack, 10-Pack, and 50-Pack configurations for residential projects, contractors, commercial installations, and larger lighting applications.

Installation

1. Measure and Plan

Confirm the required channel length, LED strip width, installation position, wiring route, and drywall opening before beginning installation.

2. Confirm LED Strip Compatibility

Check that the LED strip is no wider than approximately 13mm before installing it inside the XT-1138 channel.

3. Prepare the Drywall or Plasterboard

Prepare the installation area according to the XT-1138 profile and the intended position of the single upper flange.

4. Confirm Profile Orientation

Check the upper-flange orientation before securing the channel so the profile is positioned correctly for the intended wall or ceiling detail.

5. Position and Secure the Aluminum Channel

Position the XT-1138 channel in the prepared installation area and use the supplied screws and expansion anchors where suitable for the mounting surface.

6. Finish the Plaster-In Area

Apply the appropriate plaster or drywall finishing material over and around the flange area so the profile integrates cleanly into the surrounding surface.

7. Install the LED Strip

Clean the internal mounting surface before applying the LED strip. Position the strip evenly inside the channel and make sure it is securely attached.

8. Route the Wiring

Complete the required cable routing and maintain sufficient access for the LED strip wiring and power connection.

9. Install the PC Diffuser

Fit the supplied milky white PC diffuser onto the aluminum channel after the LED strip and wiring are correctly positioned.

10. Install the End Caps

Fit the matching end caps at the ends of the channel where required.

11. Test and Complete the Finish

Test the LED strip before completing the final plaster, sanding, painting, or surrounding surface finish.

Installation Note: The exact installation method may vary depending on wall or ceiling construction, LED strip type, wiring layout, and project requirements.
