Flexible Aluminium LED Profiles — NLP-1512 & NLP-305R | Nucleo
Nucleo LED Profiles — Flexible Series
Flexible Aluminium LED Profiles Bend Light Around Every Curve
Precision aluminium channels engineered to follow arches, staircase stringers, columns, and coved ceilings — without compromising heat dissipation or diffusion quality.
NLP-1512NLP-305R
Straight LED channels have their place — but real architectural spaces rarely follow straight lines. The sweeping arc of a reception counter, the gentle curve of a coved ceiling, the spiral of a staircase handrail: in each of these, LED lighting must follow the form rather than fight it. Nucleo's flexible aluminium LED profiles are engineered for exactly this — precision-formed aluminium channels that bend without kinking, maintain thermal contact with the LED strip PCB, and accept proper silicone or polycarbonate diffusers for a finished, professional output.
"Where the architecture curves, the light should too — not terminate into a corner. Flexible profiles are not a workaround; they are the specification."
Why Specify Flexible Over Rigid Profiles
🌀
Curves Without Compromise
Follows arches, columns, staircase stringers, and organic furniture edges that rigid aluminium extrusions simply cannot handle.
🌡️
Aluminium Heat Dissipation
Conducts heat away from the LED strip PCB — extending lifespan and maintaining lumen output. Far superior to plastic flex channels.
💡
Hotspot-Free Diffusion
Silicone or PC diffuser eliminates visible LED hotspots and delivers a smooth, uniform glow around the entire curve.
🔩
Specification-Ready
End caps, diffusers, and mounting hardware included in every box — no improvised fixes or exposed strip edges on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
The NLP-1512 has a 12.6 mm inner channel width and suits standard 8–12 mm LED strips. The NLP-305R with its 23.6 mm inner width can accommodate wider strips up to 20 mm, or a dual 10 mm strip side-by-side for higher output on wide curved coves.
Nucleo flexible aluminium profiles can typically achieve bend radii from approximately 100–200 mm depending on the model. This makes them suitable for staircases, arched ceilings, columns, and furniture edges. For very tight spirals or highly ornamental curved metalwork, please consult our technical team before specifying to confirm suitability.
Both NLP-1512 and NLP-305R use silicone diffusers that are themselves flexible — they bend with the profile around tight radii without cracking. They offer a smooth, premium frosted light output and handle the thermal cycling of continuous LED operation without degrading.
No. Nucleo flexible aluminium profiles are supplied as the housing channel with diffuser and end caps only. LED strips are specified and ordered separately from the Nucleo 24V LED strip range, giving you complete control over CCT, density, CRI, and lumen output for each project zone. This also means you can use the correct IP-rated strip (IP20, IP65, or IP68) inside the profile as your application demands.
Yes, significantly. The aluminium body conducts heat away from the LED strip PCB far more effectively than any plastic channel alternative. This extends LED lifespan, maintains lumen output over time, and reduces colour shift in tunable white strips. For any continuous-run architectural installation — curved or straight — aluminium is always the correct specification over plastic.
Yes. Aluminium profiles can be cut to your required length using a mitre saw or hacksaw with an aluminium-grade blade. Silicone diffusers trim cleanly with scissors. End caps should be fitted after cutting. NLP-1512 pieces are 1 m long; NLP-305R pieces are 2 m long — both are field-cuttable to any dimension.
