A recessed channel sits inside it, so all that shows is a line of light flush with the plaster. It is the difference between a fixture you can see and a detail that looks built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flange is what makes it practical. Two small lips sit over the edges of the cut, hiding the rough edge and giving the plasterer or the joiner something to finish against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtruded aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed, with flange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpal cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1m, 2m or 3m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecessed or surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecessed with flange\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSurface mount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat you see\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA line of light, flush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe housing and the light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWork involved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut a channel into the surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew it on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew build, refit, plasterboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetrofit, cabinets, shelving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCan you move it later\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot easily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting the slot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute or cut a groove slightly wider than the channel body but narrower than the flange, so the lips have something to sit on.
