LUMINES Y LED Profile Basic End Cap with hole inox ABS

A Basic end cap with a hole for the LUMINES Y LED profile, in inox, moulded in ABS. It closes the end of the profile and lets the supply lead out.

Why a cap with a hole

In the Y system the driver sits outside the profile. The lead from the LED strip therefore has to leave the profile – and that is exactly what the hole in this cap is for. A typical installation puts the holed cap at one end (the lead to the driver exits here) and the solid cap at the other.

Without a cap the end of the profile stays open: strip, cover and aluminium edges are exposed, and dust falls in. The cap closes the profile at the face so the line of light ends cleanly.

Fit: profile Y only

This is a system part, not a universal one. It fits the LUMINES Y profile and its BASIC cover and nothing else – the cap's cross-section reproduces that particular profile. A cap from another LUMINES system will not enter, or will not hold.

It is push-fit – no screws, no adhesive. The cap can be pulled off and refitted when the strip needs servicing.

Inox – which profile finish

Profile Y comes in five finishes: white painted, black anodised, inox anodised, silver anodised and raw. This cap matches the inox version – a cool steel tone that under bright light can read almost like polished stainless steel.

Worth checking before ordering: silver anodised and inox are two different shades in the same catalogue, and at the end of a profile the difference is visible close up.

ABS, not aluminium

The cap is moulded in ABS. Within this family some colours (black, silver) are also available in aluminium – this is not that version. ABS is lighter, does not scratch the anodised surface as it is pushed in, and costs less; aluminium is chosen where the cap must match the profile exactly in feel and in the way it catches light.

A word about the Y profile itself

Y is a rectangular surface-mounted profile, designed chiefly for installation in furniture, but also used in suspended installations as a decorative element. Light leaves it perpendicularly. With the Y M1 mounting profile the height of the LED strip can be adjusted, and with it the beam spread.
