An aluminium LED profile takes the form of a pendant here: a rigid ring 60 cm in diameter, in black aluminium, with a 31 W LED source and IP20 protection. The cable adjusts from 45.7 to 325.7 cm, low enough to hang above a table, high enough to stay in a stairwell. The collection contains 2 products.

What is an aluminium LED profile and what light does it give?
An aluminium LED profile here means a pendant whose ring is a luminous aluminium profile: a circle 60 cm in diameter, black finish, fitted with a 31 W LED source and rated IP20. Suspended, it lights through its luminous face and structures the room as much as it illuminates it.
Aluminium LED profile: a ring to hang, not an adhesive strip
It is not stuck under a cabinet and cannot be cut: it is a finished fixture, held to the ceiling by a cable. The 60 cm ring closes a luminous circle, the 31 W LED source is built into the structure. For a flexible adhesive strip, look at the cuttable light strips.
What black aluminium changes in the room
Black-tinted aluminium gives a matte, dark structure in a modern style. The ring stands out against a white ceiling and draws a line above eye level once you are seated. The luminous face sits underneath: light goes down to the table, not up to the ceiling. The fixture stays readable even when switched off.
Where to install an aluminium LED profile in the home?
The luminous profile pendant goes in the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, stairwell or hallway. Above a table or an island it drops into the room; in a stairwell or a high space, the cable extends up to 325.7 cm and the ring stays visible.
Above a dining table or a kitchen island
The 60 cm ring frames the dining area and the light falls on the tabletop or worktop. In a kitchen, raise the cable to keep the way clear; the pendant lights the island without getting in the way. It can be paired with another light point for the room's general light.
In the stairwell and hallway, using the full drop
In a vertical space, use the full cable length: the black ring reads from a distance and carries light down the stairwell. The same fixture can also equip the bedroom, hung to the side in place of a bedside lamp, or match our full range of light fixtures if you are lighting several rooms in a row.
| Room | Role of the pendant | Cable setting |
|---|---|---|
| Living room | Luminous ring above the coffee table or reading corner | Short drop, ring within seated sightline |
| Dining room | Light falls on the tabletop from the 60 cm ring | Cable lowered above the table |
| Kitchen | Lighting for the island or worktop | Cable raised to keep the way clear |
| Bedroom | Side light point, in place of a bedside lamp | Short drop, ring low |
| Stairwell and hallway | High space, black ring visible from afar | Long drop, up to 325.7 cm |
What diameter and height for a luminous profile pendant?
The ring diameter is 60 cm and the height adjusts from 45.7 cm to 325.7 cm thanks to the cable. The setting depends on the area to light: low above a table, high in a stairwell. Allow clearance around the ring so it does not obstruct movement.
The ring diameter: 60 cm, a guide for choosing the room
Sixty centimetres is wide: the ring takes real space in the volume and suits a table, an island or a stair opening. In a narrow hallway or in front of a door, it would be visually bulky. The trade rule stays simple: the ring should remain shorter than the furniture it hangs over.
Adjusting the cable between 45.7 cm and 325.7 cm
The short drop is used above a table, the long drop in a vertical space. Switch off the power before any adjustment, adjust the cable length, then connect. The model concerned is the Rubana pendant in black aluminium.
| Feature | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | 60 cm | A wide ring, best for rooms with space |
| Material and colour | Aluminium, black | Rigid structure, dark finish, modern style |
| Source | LED, 31 W | Built-in source, no bulb to screw into a classic socket |
| Protection rating | IP20 | Indoor use, away from moisture |
| Height | 45.7 cm to 325.7 cm | Adjusts above a table as well as in a stairwell |
| Warranty | 5 years | Manufacturer cover on the selection |
Only one model in the selection has this format, in black aluminium: you can discover the Rubana pendant and check how the ring looks before choosing the room.
Cuttable LED strip: how does it work?
A cuttable LED strip has evenly spaced cut marks: cut only on these marks, with the power off, then re-power each section. The aluminium profile pendant, however, is a finished fixture: it cannot be cut. For a strip to adjust, see the 24V LED strips to adjust.
Cut only on the strip marks
Cutting is done with the power off, on a mark intended for it, never between two marks. Each section must then receive its own power, otherwise the following portion stays dark. The cut pitch varies from one strip to another: it is printed on the strip and on the product sheet, so read it before reaching for the scissors.
The aluminium pendant is not a strip to cut
The ring is a complete fixture, with its source and its connection: shortening it is not intended. If your project requires custom lengths, a corner or a pass through furniture, you need a strip on a reel. The comparison is made in the LED strip range, where lengths and wattages are detailed strip by strip.
Can an aluminium LED profile be installed outdoors?
No: the Rubana pendant is rated IP20, a rating that corresponds to indoor use, away from moisture and splashes. For a terrace, a canopy or a poolside, you need a waterproof strip or fixture with a higher protection rating. The waterproof LED strips for outdoor use cover this need, and pool LED lighting covers submerged or very damp areas.
Profile pendant or ceiling LED lighting: what to choose for the living room?
A LED ceiling light illuminates a room with general light, flush with the ceiling. A LED chandelier brings a central motif, often decorative. The luminous profile pendant, for its part, drops into the volume and lights a specific area: table, island, stairwell. All three can coexist if their roles are divided.
Replacing a recessed ceiling LED spot with a profile pendant
The spot is removed from below and leaves an opening in the plasterboard. The pendant is then fixed to the ceiling and connected to the existing light point, after switching off the power. The opening must be filled or covered, and the connection entrusted to an electrician. The job is prepared with a fixture compatible with the existing point.
Living room LED chandelier or modern LED ceiling light: different roles
The LED ceiling light carries the general light of a kitchen or hallway, without dropping. The LED chandelier occupies the centre of a room with a high ceiling. The profile pendant lights the area placed beneath it: it complements a ceiling light rather than replacing it. To vary the sources, also compare 220V LED strips and a 3000K LED strip if you want a whiter light as a second point.
How to install and care for a luminous profile pendant?
The pendant is fixed to the ceiling then connected to the light point, with the power off. The cable is adjusted before final power-up to set the height between 45.7 and 325.7 cm. The black aluminium ring and the luminous face are cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
Fixing and adjusting the height before connecting
Mark the position on the ceiling, fix, adjust the cable length, then connect. Adjustment is done with the fixture still unpowered: it is safer and quicker than a correction after connection. For coloured ambience elsewhere in the home, RGB LED strips and RGBW versions open other options, with a warm 2700K light if you stay with a soft white.
Cleaning the black aluminium and the luminous face
A soft, dry cloth is enough on the ring as well as on the luminous face. Avoid abrasive products and sponges that scratch the finish, and never spray directly onto the source. Regular dusting keeps the light crisp: dust on the luminous face shows more than you would think.
Secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service: questions about installation or adjustment are handled with customer service before climbing the stepladder. The model in the selection remains the Rubana pendant in black aluminium, 5-year warranty, to be found with the rest of the LED strip range.
Frequently asked questions
Aluminium LED profile: what is the difference from a stick-on LED strip?
A stick-on LED strip is a flexible adhesive tape, placed on a cabinet or under a worktop. The aluminium LED profile in this collection is a rigid ring 60 cm in diameter, suspended by a cable, with a 31 W LED source: it is visible, height-adjustable and lights an area from the ceiling.
Can this model be used as an outdoor LED strip?
No. The Rubana pendant is IP20, so it is reserved for indoor use, away from moisture and splashes. Outdoors, on a terrace or near a pool, you need a waterproof product with a higher protection rating, otherwise the LED and the connection will not last.
At what height should the pendant be set above a table?
The cable adjusts from 45.7 cm to 325.7 cm. Above a table, use the short drop so that the 60 cm ring lights the tabletop; raise the cable to keep the way clear or gain height in a stairwell.
Is a 31 W LED profile enough for a dining room?
The Rubana pendant carries a 31 W LED source directed towards the area beneath the ring. It lights the table and its immediate surroundings; in a large room, it is complemented by other light points rather than carrying everything alone.
Powerful LED wall light or profile pendant: what complements the living room?
A LED wall light illuminates a wall, a reading corner or a hallway, without dropping into the volume. The profile pendant occupies the centre of the room and lights a specific area. The two coexist: the wall light complements, the pendant structures.
