The DIY Guy
Useful installation guidance for customers planning a slat wall lighting project.
Designed for a clean, built-in finish.
BLAQ Aura has been created to sit neatly between the wooden slats of compatible acoustic and decorative wall panels, giving you a premium lighting effect without the visible white-strip look.
- Easy to fit: press into suitable 13mm panel gaps, or use mounting clips for wider openings.
- Secure by design: built-in ribs help keep the strip firmly in place without adhesive.
- Cleaner finish: true matte black with an anti-static surface to help reduce visible dust and fingerprints.
Choose your panel brand.
- Measure the clear opening between two adjacent wooden slats.
- 13mm: intended press-fit.
- 14mm and over: use mounting clips.

Measure. Fit. Connect.
BLAQ Aura is designed to keep installation clean and considered. Measure first, trim where needed, then connect and control.
Measure your panel gap
Check the clear gap between your wooden slats. 13mm is ideal. Wider gaps should use mounting clips.
Trim and fit the strip
Cut only at the marked 20mm cut points, then press-fit into the slot or secure using mounting clips.
Connect and control
Connect to the supplied controller and power supply, then use inline control, app, Alexa or Google Home.

- Poor fit can make the installation feel like an afterthought.

- Warm 3000K glow creates a softer interior-design effect.
- 13mm x 8mm profile is designed around slat wall installation.

Quick answers before you buy.
Will it fit all slat wall panels?
No. BLAQ Aura is designed for panel gaps measuring at least 13mm wide x 8mm deep. Always measure your panel gap before buying.
Do I need mounting clips?
For a 13mm gap, the strip is designed as a press-fit. For wider gaps, especially 14mm and above, mounting clips are recommended.
Can I control it with Alexa?
Yes. The starter kit includes smart control compatibility for smartphone app, Alexa and Google Home, alongside the included inline controller.
Can I dim the 3000K light?
Yes. BLAQ Aura is dimmable using the included inline smart controller, smartphone app, Alexa, Google Home or optional physical remote.
Can I cut it to length?
Yes. BLAQ Aura has cut points every 20mm, helping you trim the strip more neatly to suit your panel height.
Is it colour changing?
No. BLAQ Aura is a warm white 3000K product, designed for a premium interior glow rather than RGB colour effects.
Can I add extra strips?
Yes. The starter kit can be expanded with optional BLAQ Aura add-on strips, subject to the kit limits shown in the builder.
