Q: Do I need a cover for this?
A polymer cover, available separately, conceals the LED strip and diffuses the light so you see an even glow instead of individual bright points.
LED Channels and Diffusers for Tape Lighting

It's easy to create a custom light fixture with these components and our LED strip lighting. The aluminum channels can be fitted with a polymer cover (sold separately) to conceal the LEDs and diffuse the light output. They are particularly useful where installed lighting will be visible, such as on the underside of a shelf or in a display cabinet, or to soften lighting to eliminate reflective hotspots on a nearby surface.
The surface-mount style is an easy retrofit to an existing construction and can be affixed to a surface using metal clips (available separately) or double-sided tape. The channel can also be friction fitted into an 11/16" wide dado.
They can be cut to length using a fine-tooth handsaw and run in sequence to create a longer fixture. To enclose the channels, end caps are available in pairs (one cap with a passage hole for wires).
A polymer cover, available separately, conceals the LED strip and diffuses the light so you see an even glow instead of individual bright points.
Attach it with metal clips or double-sided tape for a surface mount, or friction-fit it into an 11/16" dado if you want it flush with the surrounding surface.
Yes, channels connect end to end, so you can combine multiple lengths for runs longer than a single piece.
A fine-tooth handsaw cuts through the aluminum cleanly; measure your run first since the channel doesn't come pre-cut to custom sizes.
The 72" length covers longer runs with fewer joints between sections, while the 36" length is easier to handle and trim for shorter installations; pick based on the length of the run you're lighting.
