Diode LED 45-Series Under Cabinet Channel — Black Finish & 45° Angled Profile

The Diode LED DI-CPCHB-45-48B is a 48 in. black 45-degree angled under cabinet channel designed for modern, high-contrast LED tape light installations. The matte black finish integrates seamlessly into dark cabinetry, shelving, and architectural millwork, while the 45° angled profile directs light precisely at a 120° beam angle. The included Classic Frosted Lens diffuses tape light output for a smooth, even glow. Built from industrial-grade aluminum that acts as a heat sink — cooling the tape light and extending its lifespan — this channel is engineered for installations that demand both performance and style. UL Listed and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Core Design & Profile

The 45° angled profile measures 0.94 in. in height and 0.67 in. in width, with an interior width of 0.67 in. and interior depth of 0.32 in. The matte black finish makes this channel the go-to choice for modern kitchens, hospitality bars, retail displays, and any installation where a bold, dark aesthetic is the design intent. The aluminum extrusion is field and in-house cuttable to work with individual project specifications, and functions as a passive heat sink to protect your tape light investment. The Classic Frosted Lens delivers a smooth, even output with a 20% light loss and -40K CCT shift.

LED Illumination & Performance

The DI-CPCHB-45-48B channel does not emit light on its own — it is engineered to house, protect, and optimize LED tape light performance. The 45° angled profile directs the beam at 120° for broad, even coverage. The Classic Frosted Lens reduces hot spots and provides a smooth light output. Compatible with Architectural Frosted, Classic Frosted, Premium Diffusion, and Black lens options (sold separately).

Power, Wiring & Linkability

The channel is compatible with 12mm terminal block, 8mm terminal block (clear and white), and Streamlite connector tape lights. Field-cuttable to fit custom installation lengths. Compatible with standard tape light power supplies, dimmers, and controllers.
