One of the most overlooked decisions in any LED strip installation is how the strip is actually mounted and finished. Bare strip adhered directly to a surface rarely looks intentional — and in visible locations, it rarely stays looking good either. The right profile changes that entirely.
Aluminium mounting profiles do two things: they provide a stable, secure channel for the strip, and they give the installation a clean, architectural edge that reads as considered rather than improvised. When a profile is designed to be seen, the finish quality matters — and that distinction is worth understanding before you specify.
The In-Lite EVO FLEX Profile is a 100cm straight aluminium mounting channel engineered specifically for the EVO FLEX system. It is compatible with EVO FLEX 1, 2, and 3, as well as SMART EVO FLEX TONE 1, 2, and 5 — covering the full range of In-Lite's flexible strip fixtures. Unlike utility-grade profiles designed to be hidden, this profile carries a finish quality suitable for use in sight, making it the right choice wherever the mounting detail will be visible in the final installation.
The profile presents as a slim, ultra-minimalist linear form — a clean, low-profile channel that integrates quietly into architectural surfaces rather than competing with them. Four profile types are available within the EVO FLEX accessory range, each suited to a different application or mounting scenario. This straight profile is the foundation of most standard runs.
Installation is designed to be straightforward: the profile is part of a coordinated accessory ecosystem, and it combines with other EVO FLEX mounting components for a complete, clean result. At 100cm per length, it suits most standard specification runs and can be planned in multiples for longer installations. Refer to In-Lite's installation guidance to confirm which of the four profiles is appropriate for your specific application.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with the full EVO FLEX system — helping designers and self-builders specify the right profile type, plan run lengths accurately, and avoid the frustrating mid-project discovery that an accessory is missing. Getting the mounting detail right from the start is the kind of small decision that makes a big difference on site.
