Permatrack / Other Permanent led mounting ideas

[JohnsRdChristmas]

Looking for ideas for mounting leds permanently under the house eve's,
Iv seen the permatrack which looks ideal, but doesnt seem to be available in Aus??

And thought about pvc trunking, but not sure it will hold up long term,

Wondering if other have done it, and what ideas for a clean long lasting install (and to hide wires)

I have had seed pixels in pvc trunking using these 3d printed parts - going on 2 years no issues so far

ACL Seed Pixel Strip System by aussiephil

This is a system for mounting seed pixels into a 3D strip which is then snap fitted to Deta 16mm x 10mm electrical conduit available in Australia in Bunnings stores in 4M lengths.Each strip for the pixels is available in different unit numbers, a unit is a single pixel spacing. Most of the...

you can get permatrack from raywu or etop.

you would want to work out exactly how much you need then email them for a quote incl shipping. prices via aliexpress would be absurd.

tracks on raywu https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005644845808.html

also ray has these similar tracks but for bullet pixels https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005262767269.html

also I had these laser cut for my outlines, you could easily screw them to something. I can give you the dxf if you like.

Aluminium c channel can be used instead of the permatrack but will be pricey and you'll need to do a lot of drilling and cutting

I have used and top hat section used mainly used as a batten, and also pvc trunking conduit does well to conceal wires.
Hope this helps as I am getting older I am more about mounting these permanent. With the trunking conduit i used double sided tape for on the fascia and gutter. Seems to hold ok for 2 seasons (Years)

That's some smooth lines! @Bernie_H is the PVC trunking the 25mm x 25mm?

Yes it is but I used the square back pixels, or you could use the gum drop pixels. What I like is the ability to install long lengths but attach them in reverse top down.
The top hat section I used on the tile ridges and hips, yes it does give a straight line.
Pity you aren't in Sydney otherwise we could discuss in more depth.
Feel free to reach out to me.
