    Hi,

    I’m looking for a source for aluminium profile for the ever popular LED strip / tape. It’d be preferable to have a plastic diffuser on the front so you can’t see the individual light sources directly. I’d need 45 degree and flat channel. I have found them on ebay, but I’m more looking for a trade supplier plus the ebay sellers mostly sell 1m lengths and I’d rather not have joins every metre. I’ve been in touch with my usual profile supplier (Blackburns) and they can supply plain channel but nothing like this. Can anyone shed any light on a supplier of a suitable product?

    *Edit* Just an additional note, another reason I’m not overly keen on ebay is if they do sell greater lengths what about postage? I’ve found a company selling it in 2.5m lengths in Poland but can only imagine how it’d arrive coming via courier that distance!

    Thanks
    Adam

    Maybe I’ll have to buy the ebay 1m lengths to get this job done… or I need to have a good dig through the sign directory.

    My head isn’t working anyway! Below is a link to the Polish advert:

    Ebay Clicky

    There are several versions and quite a few different styles and colours. None of which are important! I just wish to find a supplier as I have one job in and others are probable once I have something I can display!

    Thanks

    Made contact with Simon at Maxilux and was very helpful in explaining the product range and setting the wheels in motion for trade pricing……
