Cut to length, by us
You measure. We cut. It arrives ready.
Send each run to the ⅛ inch. Every piece comes back finished, labeled with its run, so there is nothing to cut, solder or fit on site.
Cut to your number
Any length from your cut list, to the ⅛ inch, a single section up to 9.8 ft a run.
Capped at both ends
End caps fitted at our bench, shaped to the profile.
Lead and plug on
The feed end leaves with its lead and low-voltage plug fitted.
Labeled by run
Each piece carries its run name, so it goes where it belongs.
No reel to cut. No caps to glue. No wires to solder.
Two whites in every channel
Flip the plug. Change the white.
Every Xaact channel carries 2700K and 4000K. Turn the connector around and the run switches between warm and neutral: no controller, no second channel, no rewiring.
2700K warm
Kitchens and living spaces: the warm white of an evening lamp.
4000K neutral
Closets, pantries and displays, where colors should read true.
Change it later
Reverse the connector, or fit the CCT reversal cable. Plug and play.
The range
Nine profiles. One family.
Every name is the mount, then the shape. Six mount on a surface, three set flush into a groove; the same LED, caps and plug in all nine. Tap a profile to see where its light goes.

Where to start
Choose the profile by the place.
| Where it goes | Start with | What the light does |
|---|---|---|
| Under a wall cabinet, behind the light rail | Surface Mod | Straight down: an even line on the counter |
| No light rail: the channel sits at the back | Surface Angular | Face at 45°, throws the light to the front of the counter |
| The corner where cabinet meets backsplash | Surface Arched | Arc lens washes the wall |
| Shelf undersides, display cases, wardrobes | Surface Broad | Wide diffuser, soft spread |
| Upright panels and tight spots | Surface Slim | Narrow face, straight down |
| Low clearance, where the channel must stay quiet | Surface Flat | Low and flat on the elevation |
| Flush millwork, set into a routed groove | Recessed Mod | Only the lens shows |
| Shelf edges, glazed frames, narrow reveals | Recessed Ultra-slim | About a quarter inch wide |
| Back panels of display shelving | Recessed Tilt | Lens leans 22°, washes to one side |

The whole system
Eight parts. No soldering.
A single section goes up to 9.8 ft a run, fed from one end; lengths join with a bridge connector. Every length arrives cut, capped and wired; every connection after that is a plug or a spring contact. Power Core and the leads sit inside the cabinet, so all you see is the light.

Power and control
Plug in. Wave. Open the door.
The channel ends in a standard low-voltage plug, so any 24V Class 2 supply runs it. Power Core is the driver we recommend: the sensors plug into it.
Splits one 24V lead into six, for runs on different shelves or doors from one driver.
Sits flush in a 12 mm hole, a screw through its ear. Open the door, the light comes on; close it, off.
A wave switches the run on and off without a touch. Same head and hole, same control port.
Joins two lengths end to end with a slim flange between them. Spring contacts carry 24V across: no soldering, one lit line.
Size the driver
Surface Mod at 3.66 W per foot, the driver loaded to 80%. Other profiles are in the catalog. A run still stops at 9.8 ft: a bigger driver feeds more runs, not a longer one.
| Power Core 36 W | Up to 7.9 ft (2.4 m) of Surface Mod |
| Power Core 60 W | Up to 13.1 ft (4.0 m) of Surface Mod |
| Power Core 96 W | Up to 21.0 ft (6.4 m) of Surface Mod |
Every Power Core is UL listed and CSA certified, with overload, over-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protection. Drivers link in parallel, power cord and signal wire.
The rest of the parts box
Zone control converter
One Power Core, separately switched zones: a sensor for each cabinet.
PIR motion sensor
Comes on when someone walks up. Same 12 mm hole and control port as the others.
CCT reversal cable
Switches a run between 2700K and 4000K. Plug and play, nothing rewired.
L-corner connector
Joins two lengths at a right angle for L-shaped runs.
Jumper cable
Carries 24V across a gap, a range hood or a window, between two lengths.
Connection cable
Channel to driver; the 6.5 ft extension reaches a driver further away.
Parallel cable
Links drivers when a layout needs more than one.
Mounting clip kit
Clips screw under the cabinet; the channel snaps in.
End cap kit
Spare caps, shaped to each profile.
For the casework trades
Seven shop steps become three.
Cabinet shops, closet installers, display fixture builders, millwork. A kit moves assembly to your bench; Xaact arrives finished.

What you do
Send the measurements. We send the light.
Measure each run
The cabinet widths and where the outlet or switch is. A sketch or a photo is fine.
We cut, cap and label
Every length cut to your list, capped, fitted with its lead and plug and labeled by run, with the driver and sensors you need.
Clip in, plug in
Clips go under the cabinet, the lengths click together, the plug goes into Power Core.
Warranty and support
Three years. Field-replaceable. A real person on the phone.
Three-year warranty
On the channel, the driver and every accessory.
One part, not the run
Every joint is a plug or a spring contact, so a service call swaps one length.
Layout with every quote
Send a drawing: runs, driver and sensors come back planned. Wiring question on site? Our US team picks up.

Questions
Before you order.
Can LED channel be cut to length?
Yes, and we do the cutting. Send each run to the ⅛ inch; every piece comes back cut, capped at both ends, fitted with its lead and plug, and labeled, so nothing is cut on site. A single section goes up to 9.8 ft a run, fed from one end.
Hardwired or plug-in under-cabinet lighting?
Same channel either way. Power Core plugs into an outlet inside the cabinet or wires to a switch leg. Plug-in for retrofits; hardwired when the kitchen is being wired anyway.
LED channel or puck lights under cabinets?
A continuous channel puts an even line of light on the counter; pucks make pools and shadows. Xaact is a channel: 150 LEDs per meter behind a diffuser, no dots.
Where does under-cabinet lighting go: front or back?
Front third of the cabinet underside, behind the light rail, so the counter is lit and the backsplash does not glare. When the channel has to sit at the back, Surface Angular throws the light forward.
Warm white or cool white for a kitchen?
Both are in every channel: 2700K warm and 4000K neutral. Reverse the connector to switch, or fit the CCT reversal cable. No controller, nothing rewired, and you can change it again later.
Can Xaact dim?
Yes. The hand-wave sensor switches the run with a wave and dims it 10–100% when you hold your hand under it. A dimmable 24V driver works too.
Is there a sensor option for closets and pantries?
Yes. A door sensor or a hand-wave sensor sits flush in a 12 mm hole and plugs into Power Core, so a closet, wardrobe or pantry run switches itself.
Does the same channel work for toe kick, cove and shelf lighting?
Yes. Surface Mod under toe kicks and in coves, Recessed Tilt in display shelving, Recessed Ultra-slim in a narrow reveal. One connector family, one driver.
Do I need a driver? Can I use my own?
Yes, a 24V DC driver. Power Core 36, 60 or 96 W is recommended because the sensors plug into it. Any 24V DC Class 2 supply works on the standard low-voltage plug.
Can I add under-cabinet lighting after the backsplash is in?
Yes. Surface profiles clip to the cabinet underside and Power Core plugs into an existing outlet; nothing opens up in the wall.
How long do the lights last?
Rated 50,000 hours. Every part can be replaced on its own, and the warranty is three years.
Is Xaact waterproof?
No. IP4X keeps dust out of the LED cavity. Indoor, dry locations.
How long can one run be?
A single section goes up to 9.8 ft a run, on one feed. Longer layouts split into several runs from the same driver: Power Core has five outputs, and the 6-way distributor adds more.
Are end caps interchangeable between profiles?
No. Each profile has its own caps and connectors, shaped to its section. Your quote lists the right ones.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One length or a production run, cut to your list.
