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.

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

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

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.)

Overall, I'm disappointed, especially after all the positive reviews. On the plus side, they do as advertised: spotless light. I used a 120 LEDs/meter strip tape and after installing, there is no LED spots -- it is a nice even light. I agree with other reviews stating that installing the diffuser takes some effort. It does seem sturdy once installed. There are a couple of downsides. First, the light appearance (brightness) was reduced much more than I thought. Subjectively, I'd say the light was reduced 30-40% in brightness. I don't know if it is the "milky white" diffuser, or the shape/thickness of the diffuser, or the diffuser material, but the nice and bright LED strip lighting was much less bright after installing the diffuser. Second, the diffuser changed the light color. My strip tape is 3000 degree temperature, but after installing the diffuser, the light coming out of the diffuser was shifted toward the red/yellow spectrum to the point where it looked like 2700 degrees (or less). Both of these issues are more pronounced than other brands/products that I've used in the past. I'm disappointed and won't be using this product.

10/10 these are amazing. The installation is a bit of a process, but so worth it!

I used these to put a 12v led string under my RV trailer's 18' awning. They were easy to put up and look absolutely great. A definite two thumbs up!

Packet arrived,all bits included, Easy to install, supplied brackets easy to use and end caps finnish it off nicely. Even distributed light, sturdy enough. Diffuser trim is a right fit...Does dull the brightness slightly but this is normal for diffusers but nice effect. Would buy again.

These work better than any other brand. I have tried several ones, but honestly, this one is amazing.

Perfecto

In my opinion this should be more expensive for what you get. You get a really premium product and more than enough to do my project. The diffusion is beautiful and something you would see in movie grade lighting for set design. I thought the installation would be hard but it’s so intuitive and easy to do and I got it perfect first time. The end pieces which you get plenty of are lovely and make your project look professional. Overall I’m so impressed and happy and excited because I have 2 lengths left over for a desk lamp I’m going to make myself. Thank you to the sellers.
