Micro Blade 63 Plaster Integrated Linear Lighting System - provides wall washing and low-level lighting

Design and Style
The Micro Blade 63 system forms a recessed plaster channel that becomes part of the ceiling or wall structure. The angled aperture provides a controlled 36-degree throw which is suitable for washing down feature walls, lifting ceiling planes or providing a low level guide light. The profile sits within the plasterboard build-up so the finished light line appears as a clean architectural detail with no visible trim.

Usage
This system is chosen where integrated lighting is preferred over surface fittings. Designers use it to form long ceiling runs, outline routes through open plan areas or introduce feature lines across large surfaces. The profile can follow straight paths or change direction using the matching corner components, allowing continuous light lines to work around corners or across stepped surfaces.

Key Features
The high strength plaster profile measures 165 mm wide and 56 mm deep with a 63 mm aperture. Locating lugs at each end assist with alignment when joining multiple lengths. The profile is supplied in straight sections that can be cut on site using a sharp mitre saw. This makes it straightforward to produce precise lengths and customised angles when required. Ready formed end caps are available to maintain a consistent finish when closing the light channel.

The Lexan diffuser snaps into place and provides uniform optical control along the length. Diffusers are supplied in 1500 mm sections and should be fitted after decoration to keep them free from dust. The aluminium support channel for the LED tape is installed inside the profile and fixed before plastering begins.

Application Guidance
This system is suited to wall washing, ceiling lighting and low level guide lighting. The angled chamber ensures indirect illumination that softens the space rather than producing a direct beam. Long continuous runs can highlight the geometry of a room or define transitions between zones. Shorter sections work well in alcoves, stairwells and tall wall surfaces where a discreet architectural detail is required.

Selecting LED Tape
A COB or close spaced LED tape is recommended because it produces a smooth appearance when used with the diffuser. A light output between 1000 and 1500 lumens per metre suits most applications, while projects that need stronger wall washing may select a higher output. Warm white options at 2700 K or 3000 K create a comfortable visual environment and a high CRI tape will keep colours accurate across large illuminated surfaces. The tape is fitted into the aluminium support profile, which is included in the Micro Blade system.

Coordination Between Trades
Early coordination is essential. The electrician, dryliner and plasterer should agree the exact run of the channel and the location of the LED driver. The driver should be placed where it remains accessible for future maintenance, such as a cupboard or service void. Wiring and the aluminium support profile are installed before plastering begins. The plasterer then brings the skim coat up to the lowest point of the plaster profile, creating a clean, sharp opening. Once the plaster is dry, the surface can be primed and painted before the LED tape and diffuser are fitted. only paint up to the hard edge - the recess of the light looks better when not painted 

Installation Notes
The profile is fixed to the substrate using the integrated mounting points. Adjacent lengths are aligned using the locating lugs. Straight joints and corner sections should be checked for continuity before plastering. The profile can be cut with a sharp mitre saw to create custom lengths or angles. Care must be taken to keep the light chamber free from plaster. After finishing and decoration, the LED tape and diffuser are installed to complete the system.
