How to Achieve a Clean Line of Light with the Right Cover
Creating a clean line of light with no pixelation from the diodes is essential for achieving sophisticated, modern lighting designs. KLUS offers a wide variety of cover options—each engineered to deliver specific visual effects while enhancing performance and aesthetics. From glare-reducing black lenses to ultra-diffused satin finishes, these covers help transform any space with seamless and uninterrupted illumination.
Cover Options for a Clean Line of Light:
Black Cover
The Black Cover offers a sleek, modern appearance and is perfect for dark-themed designs. It helps minimize glare and blends seamlessly with black or dark-toned surroundings. While it doesn’t alter the color temperature (CCT), it does reduce lumen output by nearly half. For optimal performance, it should be paired with higher-lumen LED tape to maintain specified brightness.
Satin Cover
The Satin Cover is ideal for achieving the cleanest line of light. Known for its high diffusion properties, it softens light output to eliminate visible LED dots, creating a smooth and even glow. KLUS Satin Covers feature a uniform cross-section and are highly flexible—perfect for architectural applications where uninterrupted illumination is critical.
Frosted Cover
A Frosted Cover provides a soft, ambient glow, diffusing the light evenly to eliminate hot spots. It’s a great option for residential and commercial spaces that call for gentle, inviting illumination without harsh brightness.
Cover Options to Achieve a Different Purpose:
Focusing Cover
Provides a precise beam angle ideal for accent lighting—perfect for wall washing to highlight artwork or wall grazing to emphasize textured surfaces.
Microprism Cover
Reduces glare while maintaining high light output, utilizing advanced diffusion technology similar to industry-standard low-glare solutions.
Clear Cover
Delivers maximum light output with minimal obstruction, while protecting LEDs from dust, debris.
Technical Cover
Technical Covers serve a more functional purpose. They help protect the interior of the extrusion during construction or wet works and prevent deformation during installation. They are easy to install and remove, making them a practical choice during the build-out phase.

Pairing the Right Cover with the Right Components
For the best results, each cover should be paired with the appropriate KLUS LED tape and extrusion profile to achieve a clean line of light. For example:
- Satin Covers + high-density LED tape = flawless diffusion without visible diodes.
- Black Covers + double-bright LED tape = matching design aesthetic without compromising brightness.
- Focusing Covers + task lighting extrusions = directional lighting with precision.
Whether you’re backlighting a feature wall, illuminating under cabinets, or designing architectural accents, KLUS covers offer tailored lighting solutions to elevate your project.
