Muzata 6-Pack 3.3ft/1Meter 8x17mm U Shape LED Aluminum Channel System with Cover, End Caps and Mounting Clips Aluminum Profile for LED Strip Light Installations U1SW WW, LU1…

Used along with LED COB lighting strips to add under cabinet lighting in our kitchen. Needed to do for a long time and finally had the time and courage to tackle it. We were nervous at first with doing our own DIY setup instead but it seems that the options have come A LONG way in the past decade. Hubby watched a Youtube video of someone doing similar project and it seemed easy enough. Definitely more complicated than getting the pre-made kits, which I'm sure work great but were more expensive and less customizable.... Anyway, back to these tracks, hubby said he was surprised with how easy they cut - he even was able to use compound miter saw with normal blade he uses for woodworking. He attached the dampener to it prior to cutting to avoid having to cut the plastic dampener and the metal track separately. Used painters tape and cut slowly and it worked great - no issues with that. He also used the provided clips to attach the tracks to the cabinets. BE CAREFUL or you could go through the underside. He pre-drilled to just the right depth and had no issues with the install - no screws stripped or tore through the cabinet. You could (as others have recommended) use some double sided adhesive tape but he liked the idea of being able to remove easily in case the lights need repairing down the road - soldering upside down is NOOO FUN =) His only 'complaint' was that the little end caps that come with the system wouldn't work with our setup. Half of the caps come with a small (maybe 1/8 inch) hole to feed wires through and the other half are closed off. He had to drill larger holes due to using 18 gauge wires for a longer run and didn't want the possibility of voltage drop. We only needed 1 end piece after connecting all 6 of our lighting bays together. Definitely an 'our situation' problem and nothing against the product. They'd be great as-is if you're doing 6 separate bays and not connecting them.

This is the worst defuser, you can clearly see the led dots. I don’t recommend

Had to replace all of the LED strip lighting under our kitchen cabinets. This Al channel made for a very nice upgrade to the installation. Product is of good quality; the aluminum has a very nice finish as does the translucent diffuser strip. Very easy to work with and install. Installation looks very professional. The light is much more even and nicely diffused compared to the bare strip that it replaced. Very happy with the result.

I don’t understand all the negative comments about installing the diffuser in the track. It easily snaps in by starting at one end then pressing it down bit by bit to the other end. You DO NOT slide the diffuser in the track; the fit is far too tight. Simply push one side in the groove on the track then snap the opposite side of the diffuser in with your thumb or fingers. Easy Peasy! The aluminum track, or channel, is very easy to trim to length with a hacksaw, Dremel or similar. The diffuser can be trimmed to length with a razor knife. The tracks come with 2 mounting clips per channel, which were very easy to install with a single tiny screw in each. One could easily substitute 3M foam LED mounting tape if preferred. Just be sure to clean the mounting surface with alcohol before mounting. The shape of the LEDs can still be seen thru the diffuser, but it is so much better than seeing the reflection of the bright LEDs without the diffusers. It may be that for the LEDs to not be very visible one would need LED strips with more LEDs located closer together. Fo example, instead of a 300 LED strip, try a 600. I am totally pleased with these and would buy them again. My wife loves them. They replaced halogen under-cabinet puck lights.

These are really nice, I didn't use the diffusers, but they do snap in easily. Make the installation look clean and professional.
