U108

This was my first time using this channel and I was highly impressed with the construction and how the diffusor provided a truly "neon", uniform light. As you can see from the photos, the channel was installed in a hallway closet and the mounting location meant the homeowner would see the fixture directly. For that reason, we needed a channel that would provide "spotless" light, and also distribute the light in a semi-circular fashion. This channel does precisely what they say it does, and also has a fantastic, stylish, curved milling on the side, with a substantial feel. Highly recommended and I'll use it again. Note: a number of folks have said they were disappointed with the channel not providing "spotless" light. That effect is a function of the diode density on the LED tape, the height of the channel (distance between the diode and the diffusor) and the diffusor density and opacity. I used a tape with 120 diodes/meter, and the effect was truly spotless at all viewing distances. You simply cannot match any LED tape with any channel and get a magical, mythical outcome of no visible diodes. It's more complex than that. In short, use a tape with at least 60 diodes/meter and you'll get a very good outcome with this channel.

Bought these because of a YouTuber I watch that recommended them, I've bought these multiple times now and they do not disappoint, there is some spotting if lights are at 100% brightness but I never keep them at that level. They are well built and okay in terms of cost. If you can get these on a sale they are well worth it.

I don’t think the diffusion is as good as folks are making it out here, I see very distinct bulbs in my strip when it’s at 20%, and it gets worse at higher brightnesses. I also wish they included the wall brackets that also work as joiners — it’s a separate product they sell, and it keeps two pieces aligned and supported. That said it was easy to work with, measure, cut, and put up. Doing what I need it to do, and it seems like good value to me to be able to make my own custom LED strips. Light looks very smooth when it’s an under-mount, but if you want a solid bar of light when you look directly at it you might want to check more expensive options.

Looks like it would work great, but the covers do not fit the channels. The rounded cover is rigid from side to side and will not give at all to snap into the channel. The edge overlaps the of the channel and no amount of squeezing or manipulation will force the cover into the channel. Edited to add: Muzata quickly replaced the channels, and the new shipment worked perfectly. It took just a couple minutes to install with lights. Excellent customer service

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Diffusers are well built and easy to install. Great of home lighting projects using LED strips

If you have LED strip lights, I can promise you these channels will improve the look and allow for easier mounting. To have a perfectly smooth/gradient look you MUST have at least 60 LEDs/m LED strips. With 30 LEDs/m (the most common you find off Amazon) you will definitely have a bit of spottiness. See my review photos for reference. The very long strip going up the wall is 60 LEDs/m while the short strip on the shelf is 30 LEDs/m. Another important note: make sure you know the width specifications of both the channels and the LED strips you plan to use. I’ve heard of cases where users accidentally chose LED strips that were too wide to fit properly in the channels (though this seems quite rare and typically not an issue.)

The plastic covers come bent or bowed out and not flat. So the aluminum railing can’t hold them flat and they keep popping out on the ends. So have to tape to hold them down, which distorts the light a bit on each junction. Looks great in the middle though. To bad they don’t come flat.

These diffusers work extremely well without any hot spots or dark areas. It really looks like one continous light as long as the LED strip you are using has at least 60 LED's per meter. I used the Govee Strip Light 2 Pro that has 60 LED's per meter and it turned out great so if you have a strip that has more than that, I am sure it would be even better. They are a very good value and relatively easy to install, a must have if you are going to be able to see the lights.
