ONI is one of the lowest profiles in the Lumines catalogue: the cross-section is 14.4 mm wide and only 6.5 mm high. That height is the whole point of the product — the profile disappears under a shelf edge, in the recess of a kitchen cabinet or in a ceiling niche, where there is no room for a standard 10–15 mm channel.
What fits inside
The inner channel is 12.5 mm wide and the manufacturer states a maximum LED strip width of 12 mm. All common 8 and 10 mm strips fit with room to spare, and 12 mm strips fit exactly. Measure your own strip together with any silicone coating before buying — IP65 coated strips are often 1–2 mm wider than their IP20 equivalents.
Cooling and light
An aluminium profile is not decoration — it works as a heatsink. An LED strip glued straight onto a furniture board heats up and loses both output and lifetime; the same strip in aluminium passes its heat into the profile and runs cooler. With a low profile like ONI there is a second effect: the diode sits close to the cover, so the light spreads wider and less of it is lost in the channel walls.
Cover and end caps
ONI takes a polycarbonate cover from the LEAN series in three versions: transparent (11-3480-10), milky (11-3481-10) and frosted (11-3482-10). Transparent passes the most light but leaves the diode dots visible; milky diffuses them most strongly and gives a uniform line of light — usually the right choice for lighting a kitchen worktop, where diodes reflect in glossy fronts. End caps come as 2-in-1 ABS (white 12-1901-01, black 12-1902-01, inox 12-1903-01, grey 12-1904-01, lacquered silver 12-1905-01) and as anodised silver aluminium, with a cable hole (12-1955-10) or without (12-1955-11).
Three ways to mount it
The manufacturer allows for three options: double-sided tape, clipping onto a metal mounting clip (white 13-1091-02, black 13-1132-02, silver 14-2028-86), or screwing it down. The clip is the most serviceable solution — the profile snaps in and out without damaging the surface, which matters in furniture, where the strip is replaced more often than the profile.

The inox finish
The anodised inox version is a darker, steel-grey tone — closer to brushed steel than to bright silver. It pairs well with stainless-steel fronts, dark wood and grey worktops; with white furniture, the white lacquered profile (10-1761-10) or the silver anodised one (10-1764-10) is the more natural choice. Anodising is a conversion coating, not paint — it does not chip when the profile is cut or when the cover is pressed in.
Cutting and joining
An aluminium profile is cut with a hacksaw or a mitre saw with an aluminium blade; at furniture corners a 45° cut is used. A one-metre length is convenient wherever an exact fit to a shelf or drawer matters — for longer runs, use 2.02 m or 3 m sections to reduce the number of visible joints.
About the manufacturer
Lumines is the LED-profile brand of LED Labs S.A. of Kraków, with a broad catalogue of profile systems, covers and accessories in which the parts of one system match by code — when choosing an end cap or a clip, you only need to stay with the system name (here: ONI).
