Mud-in Channel - ALC1157

The Fusion Optix ALC-1157 Mud-in Channel is a specialized architectural mounting system designed for high-end, "invisible" LED installations.

A compact, 90° angled aluminum channel designed for clean, directional linear lighting. This profile is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Fusion Optix FlexTape™ up 0.5" (12mm) wide, delivering consistent performance with enhanced optical control when paired with optics by Fusion Optix lenses.

This product is ideal for new construction or major renovations. Because it requires cutting into drywall and applying joint compound (mudding), it is not a "simple DIY" project for an existing finished wall unless you are prepared for significant drywall repair and repainting.

It is ideal for minimalist, modern interiors where the goal is to see the light, but not the light fixture itself. Because "mud-in" channels are designed to be plastered directly into the drywall, they create a perfectly flush, trimless finish.
