StarlandLed 10x1m LED Aluminum Channel V Shape with Milky PC Cover for Strip Lights Installation Professional Look LED Strip Diffuser Cover Track with Complete Mounting Accessories for Indoor Use

Used these for some under-cabinet task lighting in the kitchen, and installed with 5630 warm white led strips, a dimmable NON-PWM driver (search "HitLights Driver"), and a home depot dimmer switch that works with LEDs.I planned out my install, cut the rails and lenses to the right sizes, hardwired the dimmer in the wall and drivers under the cabinets, adhered the pre-wired strips to the rails, connected them to power, bench-tested the entire assembly, and finally clicked everything into place. The final installation came out better than I expected, and the diffuser lenses are great. When the lights are at full brightness, I don't see the individual LEDs in the reflection of my quartz countertop or my appliances and containers that are sitting there. It looks like a clean and even bar of light, getting rid of all the shadows that the ceiling fixtures couldn't illuminate.A few tips come to mind that will hopefully make your project go smoothly:1] PLAN, PLAN, PLAN before you start, and reassess if you need to for tricky spots like turns, and passing through sections of cabinets. Get a good idea of how to make what you envisioned into a reality, and get creative with solutions to unforeseen challenges.2] The screws provided that are for the mounting clips are very small, and very brittle. If you're going to install them into a hard wood (such as quality cabinets), I highly recommend pre-drilling the holes to a size only 1/64th of an inch smaller than the screw, soap the threads (rub them on a solid bar of soap to lubricate the threads of the screw and facilitate insertion), and do not use a power tool to sink them. I got advice from a buddy who bought the same set before me that having an extra pack of hardware would help, so I bought another bag of hardware, and I found that it was worth every penny.3] The diffusers and rails can be cut to size fairly easily, but take your time! I rushed with the hacksaw on one of the rails, and when it was time to install the diffuser lens, I couldn't get it to snap into place. After inspecting the rail, I noticed that the diffuser guides were chewed up from sawing too quickly, so I used the tip of a flat screwdriver to open them back up.Do it right the first time, or you'll be doing it again. Good luck!

I would discount a star for the weak diffusion effect, but considering the low price, it is hard to complain too much.The channels I received were perfectly straight. No defects found on either the channels nor the diffusers.I ended up fitting two strips in the channels. They are offset, so the gaps between the leds are effectively half as wide, but their angles are different, so the strips have a kind of odd dappled look.The clips fit perfectly, but I went with removable command adhesive strips.The diffusers went in super easy. Just hook one edge and then push against the diffuser enough for it to flex. Then just held it lined up while I slid my finger or thumb along the edge while gently pushing towards the side it was hooked in.I am using Govee strips. The brightness and led density is acceptable, but not what I envisioned.

The quality seemed good, they were straight and the covers fit in nicely. The mounts are nice and seemed secure and easy to attach. I had two concerns though. I wanted to hide the wiring so I drilled a hole on the back of the aluminum channel and ran 22 ga 4 wire ribbon through it. The wire barely fit and I would think that this size would be typical of LED wiring. Since the wiring came from behind the end cap won't fit on. There is a triangular piece that goes in to the channel the wiring is running through. I imagine I can modify it to make the cap work, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet. There is a hole in half of the end caps, presumably for the wiring to go through. I think the hole would have been a little small for the ribbon cable too, but would probably work if the ribbon was folded in half. Over all it seems to be a good product and I would recommend it to others.

I'm actually not a pro, but I can give you some tips:1) Order an extra pack of the mounting brackets. These come with 2 per length, and a few of mine I mounted with 3... since they're 3' long. Also, you can cut the aluminum channels real easy with a saw... so if you're doing some length customzing (like cutting one in half to make a corner) you'll want a few extra. So it's worth it to just order the extra brackets. I think another 20 mounts was like $92) The diffusers are a bit of a trick to snap in, and it takes some strong fingers... but you'll get the hang of it. I basically set one side, and then just kind of squish and pull the other side away from the channel it sets in... and it sort of snaps in. If you try to squish it inward towards the channel, it's really hard to flex. So it seems weird, but try to pull the second side straight out from the channel with your finger tips, and it works pretty good. Tricky though. That whole sliding thumb along the side shit they show in the picture doesn't seem to work at all.3) The end caps with the hole in it are worthless. None of the LED connectors fit through the hole, the wire does... but nothing else. So you have to cut a side out or something and slide the wires through works if you need to. I mostly didn't use the caps.Overall, they are pretty nice and work great. Just a couple tricks to mounting. Get more mounts. :)
