Aura Linear by Applelec Is a New Range of High Quality Aluminium Profiles

5.0 (1 Vote)

Aura Linear by Applelec is a new range of high quality aluminium profiles that have been designed for linear LED lighting installations. The range will be officially launched at the May Design Series 2014 on stand J71 within the lighting district of the show.

Providing options for surface, recessed, suspended and decorative LED strip mounting solutions, Aura Linear profiles are simple to use and elegantly constructed. With a made-to-measure service, the profiles are supplied in specified lengths to a maximum 2500mm with a choice of colour temperature or RGB LEDs. Further flexibility is afforded as the profiles are available individually for use with a preferred LED option.

Constructed in aluminium, Aura Linear profiles provide a heat-conducting path which prolongs the LED strip lifespan and feature end caps in die-cast aluminium. PMMA acrylic and polycarbonate lenses or diffusers are added to each profile to filter light from the LED and create a seamless linear light feature. Polycarbonate lenses and diffusers are Class 1 fire rated and shatterproof.

The new profile series is a first for Applelec as the company expands its range of products that have been created for lighting professionals and the wider design community. The Aura Linear profiles compliment Applelec's successful flat light panel, LED Light Sheet, and indeed the two products can be used in harmony with one another. Identical LEDs to those embedded within LED Light Sheet can be used within Aura Linear profiles to create complementary across lighting schemes.

Applelec managing director, Ian Drinkwater, explains: "With continued growth in the demand for LED Light Sheet, we were interested in developing another product that delivered real design flexibility. Bespoke product construction is something our client's value highly and the new Aura Linear range is designed from a similar perspective. The profiles are available in linear lengths or in made-to-measure units which are assembled to specification in our UK factories. We are delighted to be launching this new product at the May Design Series 2014."

Highlights from the Aura Linear range include a selection of corner contouring profiles that provide light output in a 45o angle and are particularly suitable for use in display casings. Recess mounted profiles are available in a variety of dimensions from the widest 88mm option to an ultra-slim 7mm profile. Used to create linear lighting installations flush to a surface, these profiles are mounted within pre-formed recesses within floors, walls and under cabinets. Profiles that can be surface mounted or suspended complete the range with all profiles suitable for the creation of individual or continuous lines of light.
