Customer Reviews for Armacost Lighting Surface Mount LED Tape Light Channel, Silver (5-Pack)

It is an excellent product

Works great! Good light diffusion effect and reduces fire hazard.

The diffusers made a big difference in the look of the lights. Before the diffusers there were large shadows on the counter. The package was supposed to have 5 tracks and covers. It only came with 4 tracks. I called the supplier, Armacost, and they sent me the missing piece.

The channel/diffuser system was exactly what I needed for the Armacost LED tape light in areas where the tape light could be seen, such as inside my overhead cabinet that has glass doors. I was able to cut it easily to the exact size that I needed. Mounted with double sided tape for a cleaner look.

I used all 5 pieces (5 meters) to go around on the inside closet door way. The bathroom closet has five shelves and with the LED strip on the wall from 8 inches off the floor to 6 feet up, then 1 meter over the door, another 2 meters down the wall, it'd be easy for the strip to be banged into causing damage. I have Armacost LED tape installed under the kitchen cabinets without this product. If you have a highly reflective backsplash or granite top, each LED gets reflected off the surface and at certain angles it is a bit annoying. This diffuser spreads the light and minimizes those bright spots. What was concerning was as you peel the 3M tape off the backing, every three LED is a copper connector. It is where you cut the tape to length. The back part of the LED tape also shows these copper strips. It turned out and it is not mentioned, the the sticky part of the tape that remain the the strip insulates the 12v connector. I check the aluminum rails with an ohm meter and I could not get a reading. There must be a coating on the aluminium. The plastic lens snaps into place.

Great system for mounting LED strips to the belly side of shelves

The instructions say to screw the brackets into the wall, then slide the channel into the brackets. This will never work because you will not be able to get the channel to slide over the screw head. However, if you put the screw in the wall by itself, and put the bracket on the channel, you will be able to push the bracketed channel onto the screw. You will need to apply a little pressure, but it will go. Then simply pull the bracketed channel straight down to lock it into place.

I ordered 3 sets for a total of 15 pieces of track. Only received 9 pieces of the aluminum track

provides a stable mounting for LED light strips

Installing under kitchen cabinet lighting with several small runs and finding the skimpy supply of hardware is making me turn to “MacGyver” tactics to pull this off.

Really does diffuse LEDs

It didn't work for my situation so I'll need to return

Really nice way to finish under cabinet lighting, I did drill my own hole and used screws to install. There weren’t enough clips.

Cheap, you get what you pay for. Diffusers dont fit the channel AT ALL they fall out IMMEDIATELY. First order cam missing all mounting hardware. Home Depot re ordered for me. Packaging was horrible and opened on one end...no wonder it was missing parts. Employee gave me a new set half off. I can make them work.

Loos Good, cuts easily. Mounting clips are a challenge, but double sided tape also works well.

These cute little tracks are perfect for under the counter lighting, they look so professional. If this is your project be sure to get the extra connectors and wire online because no one will have it in stock.

Sadly, I installed the waterproof white light strip in my shower alcove, which was a bear, only to have to remove, cut short their pigtail end, solder a new fitting and reinstall dit to a short in the lights. They’d only illuminate if you put pressure on the existing wire fitting they had in place already. Headache.

Very high quality mounting kit that matches the Armacost LED Tape perfectly. Tape adhesive sticks very securely to the aluminum channel. Frosted cover diffuses light softly eliminating hot spots under LED's. Mounting brackets fit a little too snugly to the extruded aluminum channel but are manageable. I used longer screws, with exact same size heads, than the short ones provided. Very satisfied with purchase and delivery.
