Cut & Connect Linear Aluminium Profile: Solder-Free Lighting Built for the Way Designers Actually Spec Lighting

A linear lighting system that lets you cut the profile, cover, and LED strip together — at any point along the run — so the luminaire length is dictated by the space, not by the nearest factory cut mark.

Specifying linear lighting usually means a trade-off. Either the run length is dictated by where the LED strip happens to have a cut point, or someone on site is soldering connections to make the numbers work — adding labour, time, and a point of failure to a detail that’s supposed to look effortless.

The Cut & Connect Linear Aluminium Profile removes that trade-off. It’s a linear lighting system designed to let you create custom luminaires quickly, without soldering or specialised labour — so the lighting plan can follow the architecture, instead of the other way around.


Cut Anywhere. Not Just at the Marked Points.

The defining feature of this system is in its name. Cut & Connect lets you cut the profile, the cover, and the LED strip simultaneously, at any point along the length — without hunting for a specific cutting mark on the strip itself.

For a designer, this matters most when a luminaire’s required length doesn’t land neatly on a multiple of the strip’s standard cutting interval. Instead of rounding up, rounding down, or redesigning the detail around the strip’s limitations, the profile is simply cut to the exact length the space calls for.

Cut Point

Anywhere

No need to align the cut to a fixed marking on the LED strip.

End Result

No Shadows

Uniform light from end to end, even at odd or custom lengths.


COB Technology: Continuous Light, Even in Shallow Profiles

The LED strip used in this system is built on COB (Chip-on-Board) technology, which produces a continuous line of light rather than a string of individually visible points. The result is a genuine dot-free effect — light reads as one smooth line, not as a series of LEDs behind a diffuser.

This holds true even in shallow profile depths, which is typically where dotting and hot spots are hardest to avoid. For coved ceilings, shelf-edge lighting, or any detail where the profile sits close to the eye, this is the difference between a lit line and a lit-up row of dots.


1. Cut to length

Profile, cover, and LED strip are cut together at the exact point the run requires.

2. Fit the endcap

The endcap with the connector cable fits onto the cut profile end.

3. Click to connect

The connector clicks into the power supply — connection complete, no soldering involved.

Mount and conceal

The slim aluminium profile sits flush into cabinetry, joinery, or coves for a concealed finish.

In practice, this means installation isn’t gated by the availability of a specialist. Site teams can make the connection themselves, which shortens the path from spec to finished install and reduces the labour line on the project.


Performance That Holds Up to Spec

Cut-and-click installation only matters if the light quality justifies the detail. On that front, the profile is built to sit comfortably in spaces where light quality is non-negotiable — retail display, residential joinery, hospitality millwork.

The Specification Takeaway

For designers and architects, the value of the Cut & Connect Linear Aluminium Profile isn’t any single feature — it’s that the cutting, the light quality, and the installation method are all solved at the same time, by the same detail. A run length doesn’t need to be rounded to fit a strip’s cut points. A dot-free line doesn’t require a deeper profile. And a clean install doesn’t require a specialist soldering on-site.

That combination is what makes it possible to spec linear lighting around the actual geometry of a space, rather than around the limitations of the lighting product itself.
