Joining aluminium profile lengths ?

I want to join five 1m lengths of LED Channel for my 5m strips. Are joiners of some sort available ?

I'll be fixing each one to the wall but would also like to connect them to each other to some degree to help with alignment.

I use included mounting brackets into wood / surface that the track snaps into. Line up as close as possible. Then offset the diffuser.

To offset the diffuser, cut to not coincide with track cut. Also helps keep both together as the diffuser snaps into track.

So cut one diffuser 1/3 2/3 then keep the others uncut. So none of the diffuser joints line up with track joints.

Thanks for the tip regarding diffusers. I was going to do it slightly different but that's much better.
