Cut the aluminum channels to the measured lengths using a hacksaw. When cutting, ensure the diffusion strip (the translucent cover) is inserted into the channel. This ensures the diffusion strip is cut to the exact same length as the channel and results in a neater overall cut. Leave a slight gap at the ends of the channels to allow for cable entry and tucking.
