- Check your tape fits first - a 7mm profile needs narrow tape. Standard 10mm and 12mm boards will not go in, and forcing one defeats the heat transfer.
- Check the output is enough - slim tape carries fewer LEDs. For a cove lighting a whole ceiling, use a wider profile and brighter tape.
- Route the groove slightly deeper than the profile - so it sits just below the surface.
- Test on an offcut - in hardwood or MDF there is no second chance at a groove a millimetre too wide.
- Order end caps and clips with the profile.
- Fit the channel, press in the tape, clip the diffuser on last.
Seven millimetres, and almost nothing to see
This is the narrowest recessed profile in the range. At 7mm across it takes a slim tape and sets it into a routed groove, leaving a line of light barely wider than a pencil.
Use it where the lighting should not read as lighting at all: a shadow gap under a cabinet, a line along a stair stringer, a groove in a joinery panel, a reveal between two materials.

Check the tape fits before you order
A 7mm profile needs narrow tape. Standard 10mm and 12mm boards will not go in, and forcing one in defeats the heat transfer that the aluminium is there to provide. Measure the board width, not the packaging, and match it to the internal dimension.
Where 7mm is the right call
- Shadow gaps between a wall and a floating shelf or cabinet.
- Joinery reveals routed into a panel or a door frame.
- Stair stringers, lighting the treads from the side.
- Handrails with a groove cut along the underside.
- Furniture where the profile has to disappear entirely.
Where it is not
Slim tape carries fewer LEDs and less output than a wider board. For a cove that has to light a whole ceiling, or an under-cabinet run that has to light a worktop, use a wider profile and brighter tape. This one is for the detail, not the workload.
Routing the groove
Cut slightly deeper than the profile so it sits just below the surface. Test on an offcut of the same material before you touch the real thing — in hardwood or MDF there is no second chance at a groove that is a millimetre too wide.
