V1SW

For my purpose these worked great. Cutable for perfect fit. Size fits under cabinet so it is completely hidden. They protect the light strips and install is much better than relying on just adhesive to hold the light strip up. They are a quality product for that professional finish.

Wow these turned out great, great quality and easy to cut to length with a hacksaw. Added these to a closet project, turned out great. Highly recommend

I have bought this brand of V-channels a number of times. I use them for diffusing led lights in my display cases normally, but this time I bought them as an accent along my ceiling where I planned to set up some RGB lighting. My normal use involves cutting up the channels, but this time since I was running them along the full length of the room, so I was actually using them fully intact, which made me notice imperfections in the manufacturing that previously were not something I paid much mind to. What imperfections you may ask? The aluminum channel ends had burrs still clinging to the edges where they didn't seem to have filed or cleaned them up after cutting, and of the 6 milky white covers I received 2 had 1 inch long breaks at the end. It's fortunate I didn't need all 6, because of course I didn't lay all of them out beforehand to check if any of them were cracked and already had the channels mounted, so a return was hardly an option. So yes, it is certainly no perfect product. It worked out for me, and if you have a metal file the burrs really aren't much of an issue, but if not they can be annoying when you're trying to fit the ends on a channel. I highly recommend checking to make sure all the pieces are intact before putting them up, but especially inspecting the covers. I know it's a pain, but you'll thank me later if you need all of them. Overall, they're a decent product with some quality control issues. They definitely do the job, and if you can get a perfect set you'll have no issues, but make sure you inspect what you get before you're in too deep for a return just in case, because there's nothing worse than being 90% done with a project only to find out the last 10% is not going to happen without ordering replacements. PROs: *Sturdy channel that fits 10mm led strips nicely *Milky white cover does a decent job diffusing harsh led light, but spots are still going to be visible, just soft focus *Covers fit tightly in the channel and feel secure CONs: *Quality control issues - burrs on the aluminum channel ends and broken channel covers are a problem

Easy to assemble and great look and feel. Mounting clips are flimsy but sufficient.

Functions fine. Super easy installation. Size is perfect. Looks clean. Durability makes it great value for the money.

PROS--aluminum is straight and very well machined. Hardware brackets fit properly. These are the 2 main components. There was a shipping problem but the customer service was excellent. Great value. CONS--there was a delay due to the problem. You might order something else if you're in a hurry! The screws included are mediocre & really not the proper design for this application, as installing the brackets require 1) likely upside down or vertical mounting, 2) medium torque driving into hardwood+tiny fastening form factor, 3) cramped spaces. These 3 factors make installation awkward from the get-go so you want the best material and tooling possible if you have a big job. I purchased my own SS cross-tipped screws instead and things went much smoother.

I mean, it'll do the job - Got my closets lit the right amount without needing a dimmer. But like most things about strip LEDs they are difficult to install cleanly. But the cover track and mounting clips are cheaply made and difficult to get to fit snugly against the wall and clip the track properly. Most annoyingly, the end holes are too small to get the outer jacket of most 18/2 LED cables through; looks like it's meant for 22 or 24 AWG which may not have the ampacity you need. I had to just use splice tape or heat shrink at the ends to avoid leaving exposed conductors; not my prettiest work.

The quality of the alu channel is very good and the plastic lens fits well. You have to insure it is fully seated by checking it a few times but not an issue. The little diameter hole on the end caps are too small except for only wires (e.g. 12 volt plug is larger but no problem. just slip it a bit and works fine. Looks very professional when installed in its included mounting clips. Arrived in a very sturdy box so no bending in transit.

Very pleased with my purchase, works great

Found this product to be the best value of all aluminium strip products on Amazon and it didn’t disappoint when it arrived. The aluminium is well manufactured and the diffusers work really well. All the bits and pieces screws etc were accounted for.

Nice and easy to put together and good quality. I have this fitted on a shelf to provide uplight to an acoustic panelled wall. Fits great and is durable. Overall good value for money and will use again for my next project

Three are perfect for the price, they are well made and do exactly what they are designed to do. Only reason for the 4 stars same not 5 is the clips to attach them to the wall they are fiddly, I will admit it could just have been me but I just found them awkward apart from that easy to recommend

This product does not diffuse the LED's, you will see hotspots as others have pointed out.
