LED mounting

KroviRoz said:

Has anyone ever used an aluminum extrusion to mount your LED tape to glass or regular shelves? I know LEDs like to dissipate heat and aluminum is commonly used. I thought this would be a good way to angle the light, hide the LEDs, and diffuse the heat.

yes, I used these aluminum extrusions with my Besta unit. They worked great, and I screwed them into the top shelf no problem.

I believe the aluminum tracks I'm using have the same profile as the one you posted. I got them from AliExpress, came with the clips /extrusions/clear coverings for around.

Here's a link to what I got

How it's mounted, bracket is fastened to shelves, and light is clipped into the bracket

How far it hangs from shelf

And you can't see them when you use the Glassvik doors

Wow man that looks awesome! Sorry to be annoying, but would you mind telling me which lights you used and how they are wired? I can't see any wires from the mounts.. I'd like to make a similar setup for myself!

Looking to build/buy my first display case soon...
