This is my review of the Shuwea Recessed LED Aluminium Channel, Strip Light Channels with Milky Diffuser - Shuwea 3.3FT/1M 10-Pack Drywall LED Channels Single-Sided Trimless Aluminum Profile for Under Cabinet Drywall Ceiling WallI plan to add this LED channel combo (channel plus diffuser) to enhance lighting under the kitchen cabinets and add overall appeal to the kitchen area. I am very pleased with this product.This recessed LED channel has a 12mm opening and comes with a built-in diffuser that creates optimal lighting effects. For a seamless and uniform illumination, the seller recommends using it with high-density LED strips (120 LEDs per meter).The milky white diffuser softens and disperses the light of the LED strip, creating an even glow that is ideal for decorative or accent lighting. Additionally, the aluminum channels are made of high-quality aluminum alloy, with smooth and clean-cut edges which serve to flawlessly dissipate the heat generated by the LED strips.Each channel is designed for recessed installation in plasterboard, drywall, or ceilings, with the package including 10 pieces of 1m (3.3 ft) LED strip diffuser channels and 10 pieces of milky white PC diffuser covers.Recommended.

The Shuwea Recessed LED Aluminium Strip Light Channels with Milky Diffuser was perfect for our needs when it came to LED lighting in our hallway. Each strip in the pack was cut accurately and uniform. Very durable and easy to work with during the installation. The diffuser works as described, giving the final effect of a single glowing light gently reflecting off the ceiling. Overall it was exactly what we had been looking for.

Rarely seen except in high end architectural locations, this element can make a great statement in your home. The options for use are endless. Accent strip down a hallway, outlining a home theater screen, ceiling accent for night light. This item can be found as a set with various quantities, this set is 10 pieces totaling almost 30 feet (10 meters)This should prove to be an easy element to add while doing new construction but would be difficult to add after the fact. For new installs, simply mount this strip where you want it, then install the drywall around it. This can be trimmed to length if 1 meter isn't what you need, made of aluminum can be cut with heavy duty sheers or a hacksaw.You'll need to drill holes for wiring and needs to be done before install. The wiring would be hard to do with a retrofit, so be prepared for more work than you think to get it run. As mentioned elsewhere, please make sure you have the LED strips that will fit the width and length you require. But you can't install them until after you finish the drywall, just run the required wiring first.Getting drywall mud in the channel shouldn't be much of a concern as it's easily cleaned off of aluminum, but add wire nuts to the wires to protect them if you won't have access to the back side of the wall.If you take all this into account, a beginner DIYer should be able to do some of this. If your still learning, consider doing the electrical for this last so you have experience, same with drywall work. Especially if you are considering odd layouts.This does require attaching to studs, so if you're wanting vertical runs, keep that in mind and run cross braces where required.This unit has one advantage, it can be used at the end of a drywall section that will but up against an item that won't support a flange behind it like other models I've seen.The more I play around with this item, the more uses I find. The diffuser is the key as much as the channel itself. You basically are making your own rope lights. The next use is the one that will take some time to work on, but putting these inside cabinets to light up areas such as under the sink or that corner section no one can see the back of. Yes its hard, but one power supply running all the lights is not an issue. You can wire switches to the doors so they only turn on in the section you open, or for the simplest way, a simple flip switch and turn them all on. This is great for cabinets with glass doors. Although the diffuser will be white, you can paint this unit black to hide it from view.For the cost versus difficulty, it's a 5 for cost and while this item alone is not difficult, it's the job that will be hard. The results have the potential to be a 10. I'd like to see someone use programmable LED's to support a variety of options, am I just dreaming... not with this starting point.
