Lumines TERRA 10-1716-20 is an aluminium LED profile for recessed installation, lacquered gold. The manufacturer intends it for decorative floor lighting. The length sold as 2 m is actually 2020 mm long.
Dimensions and choosing a strip
The profile section is 20.0 mm wide and 9.0 mm high — the groove in the floor or step has to match. The strip channel is 11.2 mm wide and 5.0 mm deep, and the manufacturer allows LED strips up to 10 mm wide. The product sheet also gives the maximum dissipated power of the LED sources: at a profile temperature of 55 °C, 17.0 W with the cover and 17.7 W without; at 65 °C, 23.5 W and 24.0 W. The power supply is installed outside the profile.
Installation
The profile is pressed into a prepared milled groove or set in mounting adhesive or double-sided tape. The manufacturer shows this installation in stair treads, among other places. TERRA is not a drive-over profile, so it is not suitable where vehicles pass.
What you need to buy separately
The profile is sold on its own, without a cover, strip or end caps. The IP54 sealing and IK07 impact resistance apply to the set with the milky polycarbonate TERRA cover (code 11-3041-20 for the 2 m length) — only with it can the profile be used where moisture is present. For that version the manufacturer also states a static load of 1.5 kN. The gold ABS end caps are 12-1769-00 (with a cable hole) and 12-1769-01 (without): in the system diagram one closes the end where power enters and the other the opposite end.
