Stair lighting is very important in any home or commercial building. Stair cases that are well lit are safer to use and can help to avoid serious accidents. Apart from enhancing safety, lighting fixtures that are designed specifically for stair cases can also enhance the decor and ambiance of a room. While some people may be interested in the functional aspects of this type of lighting others may be more interested in the aesthetics. Installing LED-based lighting in staircases has become a very popular concept in recent years.
How KLUS Aluminum Extrusions are used with LED Strips
Aluminum extrusions, like the PDS4-ALU profile, with frosted or clear covers are normally used in stair lighting. These extrusions can be used with either flexible or rigid LED lights. The LED strips are first attached to the extrusions using adhesive tape before they can be mounted. The clear covers are specifically designed to disperse light efficiently and evenly. Customers can choose between the one or two meter aluminum extrusions based on the length or their stair cases. The extrusions can be fixed on surfaces using mounting brackets or mounting glue. They also come with end caps which are normally used to cover the two ends of a PDS4-ALU setup.
Advantages of Using Aluminum Extrusions with LEDs
Illuminating staircases throughout the day or night can be very expensive, especially if the staircases are lengthy. The good news is that LED-based lights consume very little power. While they may produce very bright light, they normally require very little energy to work. This can lead to huge savings due to reduced electricity bills. Aluminum is very light and extrusions made from this material are very easy to mount. KLUS extrusions such as PDS4-ALU units are designed in such a way that they release heat energy easily to prevent overheating. Those who are keen on environmental conservation will be happy to note that this type of lighting is Eco-friendly.
How to Mount the PDS4-ALU Extrusions
There are two main ways of mounting these fixtures. The first method is to recess the aluminum extrusions to the groove milled in the railing of the stairs. The double sided tape can be used to attach the lighting fixture to any railing. Another way of installing this lighting fixture is to mount it at the bottom of the stair tread using mounting bracket or mounting glue.
Apart from stair lighting, PDS4-ALU LED profile can also be used to illuminate hard to reach places. They can also be used in advertising and exhibitions among other areas of application. They are affordable and can be ordered easily by contacting KLUS Design.
