Profile lights come in various sizes and are made of the aluminum casing. Aluminum being a good conductor of heat releases the heat emitted by the LEDs which are placed inside them.
Inside these casings, we place LED strip lights which come in various sizes and Lumens. Typically 12v LED comes in white, warm white, and Natural white color and in 60/120/180/240, etc LEDs per/m grade. As per the LED placed, you need to have drivers attached to them. See this Chart for reference.

Things To Avoid While Using Profile Lights In False Ceiling
- Profiles can be installed only when you have the ability to cut the False Ceiling or Drywall. One must take the sample of the profile to cut it accurately first.
- Since strip lights are installed inside the profiles, workmanship should be able to hold the strip lights on site.
- Profiles come in two types i.e Surface and Conceal. That is one that has a small collar protruding and the other that does not. Based on design and site requirements one should choose.
- While fixing profile lights with screws inside, you should use SDS screws. This will keep the surface plain for strip light installation.
- One can use an adhesive compound while installing strip lights to keep them fixed.
- LED drivers take a lot of space depending upon the size and type of strip light, one should make a provision for that beforehand.
- These profiles can be bent and broken easily so one should keep them safe on-site where it does not come in contact with the workman.
- Even in cove lighting, one should use profile lighting to give that even lighting. Using strip lights directly wears off the lights and hence can damage them.
