Outdoor & Waterproof LED Profiles Channels for exterior and wet-area runs
Exterior runs fail at the joints and the cover long before they fail at the extrusion. What separates an outdoor body from an indoor one is how the cover is held and how the ends close. 11 profiles in this group, strip widths 8–61 mm.
Three decisions decide whether this detail works
The channel is only part of it. What the run looks like in service depends on what it is fixed into, the section you choose and how the output is aimed.
The cover is the first thing water finds
An exterior body differs from an interior one in how the diffuser is retained and how the ends are closed — not in the aluminium section.
Joints are where a run leaks
Long exterior runs need connectors and end caps. The accessory list on each model shows what is available for the ends of that body.
Where the channel can hold water, it will
Section shape decides where water goes. A body with a place for it to sit is a body that will eventually sit in it.
All 11 profiles in this group
Live from the product catalogue — add a profile in the backend and it appears here without touching this page.
Pick the constraint you actually have
Four of the decisions that come up first, each answered from the live range above — by outer height, by the strip you already buy, and by how the body has to be fixed.
How to narrow this range down to one body
Three numbers decide it, in this order. Every figure below is this group, not the whole catalogue.
Tell us where the run goes and what it is exposed to. That decides which body and which cover arrangement is used — the drawing then confirms it.
This group accepts 8–61 mm strip, which covers both single-row and wide exterior runs.
Surface, suspended and corner bodies are all here. On an exterior wall the fixing and the drainage at the fixing matter as much as the section.
Four ways this range fixes to a ceiling

Who builds the section, and what stands behind the drawing
The certifications below are issued to Shenzhen Helian Electronics Co., Ltd. Certificate numbers and the test standards are given in full, so any of them can be checked with the issuing body before you specify.

What to send us, and what you get back
Most ceiling details are settled on the drawing, not on a phone call.
-
STEP 01
Send the ceiling detail
A section sketch, a photo of the reveal, or just the pocket depth and the strip you plan to use.
-
STEP 02
We match it to a section
We check the tooling we already run before proposing anything new — most details map onto an existing profile.
-
STEP 03
You get the drawing
The dimension drawing for the matched model, with W, H and the strip width it accepts, so you can check the cut-out.
-
STEP 04
Sample, then order
Cut lengths and finishing are confirmed against the drawing before anything goes to production.
What buyers ask before specifying this group
The questions that come up most often before a run is signed off.
Are these profiles IP rated?
The aluminium section on its own is not what carries an IP rating — the rating belongs to the assembled fixture, with its cover, gaskets and end caps. Tell us the location and we will say which body and which accessories that duty calls for.
Can I use an indoor profile outside?
No. Start from this group: the cover retention and the end treatment are the parts that change, and they are the parts that fail first.
Do I need a gasket?
It depends on the body and the cover. What each channel takes is listed on its specification sheet, which is linked from every card above.
How are long runs joined?
With connectors sized for the section, listed per model. Exterior joints are the detail worth confirming on the drawing before you order.
What about a pool or a fountain?
Tell us the exposure and we will say which body is used for it. The requirement comes from the project, not from a generic rating on this page.
Do the end caps affect the sealing?
Yes — the ends are part of the assembly, not an afterthought. What each body takes at the ends is listed on its specification sheet, which is linked from every card.
What about salt air or a swimming pool?
Tell us the exposure and we will say which body is used for it. The requirement comes from the project, not from a generic claim on a page.
Other ranges you may need on the same job
Most projects use more than one body. These are the ranges next to this one, plus the four mounting ranges.
