L Joiner to suit Suspended Aluminium Profile

This is a joiner, to suit an aluminium profile.

⚠ It is a fitting accessory on its own. There is no LED strip in it, no channel and no driver - it is one of the parts that holds a profile run where it needs to be.

What it does

A joiner carries the profile around a corner or between two lengths while keeping the faces aligned. Butting two cut ends together freehand almost always leaves a step, and a step in a lit line is visible from anywhere in the room.

It also holds the geometry while the run is being fixed, which is the part that is hard to do by eye - an angle that looks right while everything is loose will not stay right once both sides are screwed down.

Ordering the right one

⚠ These parts are shaped to a particular profile and do not interchange. Confirm which profile it is listed against before ordering - the product title does not name one, and these parts are not interchangeable.

Count what the job needs from the length of the run rather than ordering a nominal few. Fixings are spaced along a run, so a longer profile needs proportionally more of them, and a channel fixed at too few points will show a visible sag or a wave in the line of light once it is switched on.

It is worth having one or two spare. These are the smallest components in a profile installation and the ones most easily mislaid on site, and a run left unfixed while a replacement is ordered rarely gets finished promptly.

Installing it

Fit these before the strip and the diffuser go in. Working on a channel that is already loaded means either working around the strip or taking it back out, and the adhesive backing on LED strip does not always survive a second attempt.

Check the run is straight and sitting flat as you go rather than at the end. A profile is rigid enough to hide a small misalignment while it is loose, and rigid enough to make it permanent once it is fixed.
