1. An extrusion kit for LED lighting, comprising:

  • at least two extrusions adapted to carry linear LED lighting, each of the at least two extrusions havinga first, open channel defined by a first pair of opposed, generally parallel sidewalls spaced from one another with a first channel floor between and connecting the first pair of sidewalls, the first channel floor being generally flat,a linear, flat-bottomed guide channel recessed into a central portion of the first channel floor and extending along at least substantially the entirety of the first channel, the linear guide channel having a width and depth sufficient to accommodate and seat an LED strip flat against the bottom of the linear guide channel,a second channel adapted to seat connecting structures, the second channel being spaced or offset from and connected to the first channel such that the first and second channels run an entire length of the extrusion, the second channel having a second pair of opposed, generally parallel sidewalls spaced from one another with a second channel floor between and connecting the second pair of sidewalls, anda pair of ledges connected to respective outermost portions of the second pair of sidewalls and extending perpendicularly inwardly therefrom without meeting to define an opening for the second channel, the opening for the second channel being smaller than a width of the second channel; and

    an insert with first and second ends that tapers from a maximum width between the first and second ends to minimum widths proximate to the first and second ends, the minimum widths being less than the widths of the second channels and the maximum width being equal to or greater than the widths of the second channels such that the insert can be slid into the adjacent second channels of the at least two extrusions to join the extrusions in an abutted, press-fit connection.
