LUMINES Design+ ajar is an aluminium LED profile with a 25.9 × 14.4 mm cross-section that sends the light of the strip out at a 45° angle rather than straight down. This length has a lacquered Sky Blue finish (RAL 220 70 10) from the Design+ palette and measures 2020 mm, rounded to 2 m in the name.
Where the light goes and which strip fits
The strip sits on an angled wall, so once the profile is fixed to a ceiling, a wall or the underside of a shelf, the light falls diagonally onto the neighbouring surface instead of straight below the profile. The manufacturer intends ajar for decorative and accent lighting, where the direction of the light matters more than lighting a whole room evenly.
The strip channel is 11.3 mm wide and the manufacturer allows LED strips up to 10 mm wide, so a common 12 mm strip will not fit. The driver goes outside the profile, so it needs its own accessible place.
What is included and what to buy separately
The profile is sold on its own, without LED strip, cover, end caps or mounting parts. It takes the nano cover in Fractal polycarbonate: opal (11-3491-20), clear (11-3493-20) or black (11-3397-20), codes for 2 m lengths. The opal cover hides individual LED dots, the clear one lets through the most light and the black one noticeably less.
Sky Blue end caps come in three versions: aluminium with a cable hole (12-1507-10), aluminium without a hole (12-1507-11) and a plastic 2-in-1 cap (12-1507-01). Each length needs two: a cap with a hole or the 2-in-1 cap at the cable end, and one without a hole at the other end.
Installation
For surface mounting the manufacturer provides for double-sided tape, ajar mounting brackets or screws — the base is designed so that screws seated in countersunk holes sit flush with the bottom of the profile. For suspension there are suspension kits (silver 14-2011-02, white 14-2075-00, black 14-2076-00) that anchor in the profile body, plus a Ø 5 mm cable holder. The system accessories also include a straight connector, 14-3032-02.
The narrow, angular line and aluminium end caps without visible screws suit modern and minimalist interiors. The profile works in kitchens and along shelves and cabinets, where the light should fall at an angle onto a worktop or the contents of a shelf.
