Collingwood End Cap for SM7 Surface Mount Profile

A Neat Finish for Every SM7 Run

Cut aluminium profile always leaves a raw edge, and this end cap is how Collingwood tidies it up. It clips onto the cut end of the SM7 surface mount profile once your LED strip is fitted, so the run finishes cleanly instead of trailing off into open metal and exposed diode.

Grey ABS, Two Ways to Finish the Run

The cap is moulded from ABS plastic in a soft grey that sits quietly against the profile rather than drawing attention to itself. It comes in two versions. One has a cable hole cut into it, for runs where the wiring needs to exit right at the end. The other is fully closed, for runs where the cable is routed elsewhere along the length and the end just needs sealing off.

How It Works

• Push fits onto the cut end of the SM7 surface mount profile.
• The cable hole version lets the LED strip's wiring pass straight out through the cap.
• The closed version has no opening, for a fully sealed end where cabling exits elsewhere.
• Fitted after the LED strip itself, as the last step in finishing a run.

Where It Works Best

This is a fit and forget part rather than a design feature to plan around, so it does its job wherever an SM7 profile run needs tidying up. Choose the cable hole version for the end nearest a driver or connection point, and the closed version for the far end of a run or anywhere the wiring is already routed away from the cap. Collingwood rates the profile system for indoor and outdoor use, so the same logic applies whether the run is under a kitchen cabinet, along a shelf, or outside under a canopy.

Collingwood Lighting

Collingwood has specialised in LED lighting technology since 2002, designing and manufacturing its products from Sywell in Northamptonshire. The brand says it was among the first to bring fire rated, fully sealed, and mains dimmable LED products to the UK electrical wholesale market, and parts like this end cap belong to the same SM profile system built to back that up with a properly finished install. Collingwood has also been awarded a Gold medal by EcoVadis, placing it among the top 5% of companies assessed globally for sustainability.

Questions People Ask

Do I need one end cap or two per run?
Most runs need one at each cut end, so two per run is typical unless one end feeds directly into a corner piece or connector that does not need capping.

Which version should I choose, with or without a cable hole?
Choose the cable hole version for the end where the LED strip's wiring needs to exit the profile, and the closed version for the other end or anywhere cabling is already routed away from the cap.

Will this fit a different Collingwood profile?
No. This cap is made specifically for the SM7 surface mount profile and is not interchangeable with Collingwood's other profile ranges.

Can it be used outdoors?
Yes, it is listed among Collingwood's outdoor lighting accessories, so it is suitable for outdoor SM7 profile runs as well as indoor ones.
