Arclux-Velo 45° Aluminium Profile for False Ceiling Cove Lighting
45 Degrees Aluminium Profile Creates a Softer Indirect Glow
Arclux-Velo is a 45 degrees aluminium profile designed specifically for false ceiling cove lighting. Its angled LED position directs illumination towards the adjacent surface. This creates an indirect wash instead of projecting light straight into the room. The curved diffuser further softens the output and reduces a harsh, defined light line.
Slim Plaster-In Design Creates a Cleaner Ceiling Detail
The profile measures only 15.7mm across its visible cove section. Its plastering flange is concealed beneath putty and finishing compound. This removes the need for a conventional protruding horizontal cove ledge. The finished ceiling therefore appears slimmer, cleaner and more integrated with the interior architecture.
Aluminium Channel Protects the LED Strip
Unlike an exposed LED strip installed directly onto a cove ledge, the strip sits inside the aluminium channel. This reduces exposed areas where dust can accumulate around the lighting. The aluminium profile also helps dissipate heat away from the LED strip more effectively than direct mounting onto plasterboard. Better heat management can reduce thermal stress and help support a longer LED strip lifespan.
45 Degrees Aluminium Profile Improves the Cove Light Distribution
The 45 degrees aluminium profile changes how the light reaches the ceiling or wall surface. Combined with the curved diffuser, it produces a smoother transition between illuminated and darker areas. This 45° aluminium profile for LED strip light is suited to installations where a softer architectural lighting effect is preferred. It also functions as a streamlined cove light aluminium profile for modern false ceiling designs.
FAQ
Can a standard 45° aluminium profile create the same cove lighting effect as Arclux-Velo?
A standard 45° aluminium profile can create a similar angled light wash, but Arclux-Velo is designed as an integrated false ceiling cove detail. Its plaster-in flange allows the profile to be finished into the ceiling edge, while its curved diffuser helps soften the light distribution. The design also removes the conventional horizontal cove ledge where dust and insects can accumulate, creating a cleaner and more integrated ceiling finish.
What should my contractor or interior designer plan before installing Arclux-Velo in a false ceiling?
Arclux-Velo should be installed during false ceiling construction, before plastering and painting are completed. Your contractor or interior designer should plan the profile position, LED strip wiring and driver access before closing the ceiling. The plastering flange can then be concealed with putty and finishing compound. Early coordination helps achieve a cleaner finished edge and reduces unnecessary cutting, patching and repainting later.
