The Domus CORNER-16-RND is a corner-mounting aluminium LED profile with acurved opal PMMA diffuser, 1616mm in sectionand 2,500mm long, in anodised aluminium, black or white.

It is designed to sit in a corner and that is the whole reason tochoose it over a flat-backed profile.

A 1616mm section mounted against the internal angle where twosurfaces meet throws its light out across both of them, from a channel that is almostinvisible. The junction of a wall and a ceiling, the back of a joinery reveal, the inside cornerof a shelf or a stair stringer places a flat profile cannot sit neatly at all.

It is filed in our catalogue under indoor ceiling lights. It is not a light it is an empty channel, and the LED strip and its driver are separate purchases. Ourrecord also carries a voltage and a colour-changing flag on it, neither of which applies to anextrusion.

Why a corner profile, and where it goes

• Light on two surfaces from one run. Mounted in an internal angle at 45, theoutput falls across both planes a wall and a ceiling together, rather than one or the other.
• The channel disappears. At 16mm on each face it tucks into the angle, so whatyou see is the lit surfaces and a soft line where they meet.
• It is the neat answer for a cove that was not built with a rebate you get anindirect wash without any building work.
• And for joinery reveals and stair stringers, where a flat profile would eitherproject or need a groove routed for it.
• It is the smallest profile in this range at 16mm, so it is a detail line ratherthan a main light source.

The curved diffuser at 16mm

• Curved opal PMMA rather than a flat lens.
• At this size the curve does real work. A shallow flat channel struggles to hideindividual LEDs; a curve diffuses across a longer path for the same depth.
• Even so, pair it with a dotless COB strip. At 16mm there is very little roombetween the strip and the diffuser, and an ordinary SMD strip will show through.
• It also keeps the LEDs free of foreign objects and vapours, which is Domus’s ownpoint and matters in a kitchen or a workshop.

Mounting it

• Supplied with silver end caps and mounting clips.
• End caps are sold each and every cut length needs its own pair two runs fromone 2.5m length need four caps.
• A corner profile relies on a clean internal angle. On a wall-to-ceiling junction witha cornice, or an out-of-square corner, it will not sit flush. Check the angle before ordering along run.
• Custom powder coating is available per the datasheet. Ask us for leadtimes.

Working with 2.5-metre lengths

• 2,500mm continuous. A shipping and handling consideration as much as a designone.
• Aluminium cuts cleanly with a mitre saw and a fine blade. Mitre the internalcorners if the run turns a corner profile that butts at a change of direction leaves avisible gap in the light line.
• Deburr the cut end before the diffuser goes in, or it will scar.
• Plan the profile lengths and the strip cut increments together. A COB strip cutsevery 25mm.

Choosing the finish

Natural clear anodised against metal, stone and concrete; blackagainst dark joinery, where it reads as a shadow line when unlit; white against whitecabinetry and painted plasterboard, where it should not be seen at all.

In a wall-to-ceiling corner, white is usually right the profile is meant tovanish and the light is meant to appear from nowhere.

Where it works

• Wall-to-ceiling junctions an indirect cove without building a rebate.
• Joinery reveals and the inside corners of shelving.
• Stair stringers and skirting-to-wall angles.
• Kitchens and workshops the diffuser keeps vapours and dust off the LEDs.
• Not a light the strip and driver are separate.
• Not for an out-of-square or corniced corner check the angle first.

Specifying it

Corner-mount aluminium LED profile, extruded aluminium 6063, with a curved opal PMMA diffuser.Section 1616mm. Length 2,500mm continuous.Finishes: natural clear anodised, black or white; custom powder coating available.Supplied with silver end caps and mounting clips, sold each.

The LED strip and its driver are separate purchases, and no source recordsthe maximum strip width this channel accepts at 16mm it is the narrowest in therange, so send us the strip and we will confirm the fit. This product is filed under indoor ceiling lights; it is an empty extrusion, and ourrecord’s voltage and colour-changing flag do not apply to it. No warranty term is recorded ask us.

Questions

What makes it a “corner” profile?

It is designed to sit in an internal angle where two surfaces meet, rather than flat against one. Mounted at 45 in that angle, a 16 16mm section throws its light across both planes at once a wall and a ceiling together from a channel that tucks into the corner and largely disappears. A flat-backed profile cannot sit neatly there at all.

Where would I actually use it?

A wall-to-ceiling junction, for an indirect cove without building a rebate; the back of a joinery reveal; the inside corner of shelving; a stair stringer. Anywhere you want light to appear from the angle itself rather than from a visible fitting. At 16mm it is a detail line, not a main light source.

Does it come with an LED strip?

No it is an empty channel, and the strip and its driver are separate purchases. Our catalogue files it under indoor ceiling lights, which is misleading: it is a profile. Our record also carries a voltage and a colour-changing flag on it, and neither applies to an extrusion.

Which strip should I use in it?

A dotless COB strip. At 16mm there is very little room between the strip and the diffuser, so an ordinary SMD strip will show individual LEDs through it. The curved diffuser helps it diffuses across a longer path than a flat lens of the same depth but at this size it needs a good strip to work with. No source records the maximum strip width, so tell us which one you are considering and we will confirm.

Will it fit my corner?

Check the angle before ordering a long run. A corner profile relies on a clean internal angle, so a wall-to-ceiling junction with a cornice, or an out-of-square corner, will stop it sitting flush. On an older house in particular that is worth measuring rather than assuming.

What if the run turns a corner?

Mitre the internal corners rather than butting the lengths. A corner profile that simply butts at a change of direction leaves a visible gap in the light line, which on an indirect cove is exactly where the eye goes. Aluminium mitres cleanly with a fine blade just deburr the cut before the diffuser goes in.

Which finish should I choose?

In a wall-to-ceiling corner, white is usually right the whole point is that the profile vanishes and the light appears from nowhere. Natural anodised suits metal, stone and concrete; black sits against dark joinery and reads as a shadow line when unlit. Custom powder coating is also available if you are matching a specific colour.
