2. Surface - easy to glue or fasten with screws. This is the most popular type of profile. It can easily fit into a circle and an arch, make a smooth transition or a small spiral. It is quite easy to install, so it is well suited for organizing the lighting of the kitchen work area, drawers, a shelf under the TV and other solutions.
3. Built-in - suitable for the most daring design ideas and people with experience in installing profiles. It perfectly fulfills the role of an element that combines two different materials, for example, it is good to use it when joining plasterboard and chipboard. At the same time, the profile of the LED strip can both hide in the recess of the joint and protrude above it, creating the necessary light effect.
4. Recessed - in subtleties of installation, very similar to the previous option. However, unlike the built-in, it has special edges that hide all the unevenness of the surfaces that come into contact. That is why it is most often chosen for hidden lighting of various areas and pieces of furniture.
5. Hanging - great for lighting large areas. It is simply not replaceable for the organization of basic lighting in apartments, offices, shops and other premises. The presence of such original light in the room looks very unusual, effective and attractive.
