Led Strip lighting below crown molding

6 years ago

Really like the led strip light showing the ceiling and have bee looking for construction designs for several months now. Is there a second molding below the top molding hiding the led lighting?

Larry, that is correct. The great team at Prairie Woodworks essentially extended the crown with a flat 1x extension below, then a small piece of trim to hide the LED ribbon (left side of sketch). The right side shows a more typical installation that highlights the drywall ceiling instead of the beautiful crown.

Thank so much David. You have finally solved my problem with LED ceiling accent lighting. Will duplicate the sketch in our 1892 Eureka Ca Victorian dining room remodel. Considering using 24V DC LED Strip Light for the prooject.

Carpet sits below base board/crown molding

There may be dips in the floor itself and that may be why the bottom of the baseboard does not touch the carpet in some places. Baseboard in rooms where carpet is scheduled is usually installed first and then the carpet is fit up to that...at least that is how it is usually done in my neck of the woods.

Rope lighting for crown moulding?
Q
Comments (1)
That is another form of indirect lighting (sometimes also known as cove lighting). Using rope lighting will be sufficient for accent / decorative lighting. It will not suffice as general room lighting as the light output from rope lighting products is too low. If it is to provide general room lighting, higher output lighting (either LED or fluorescent tube) will be required. It could be a DIY project. Quite a bit of planning is required from the type of (led, fluorescent, simple incandescent rope lighting, low vs line voltage), control of the lighting (location of switch, dimming), location of connection point(s), size of crown molding , ...

LED strips, plugmold, light rails -- would you do it?
Q
Comments (3)
I have a combination, as Sophie explained. I have angled Plugmold on one side of the kitchen where I do not have anything plugged in all the time -- only when in use. The other side has in-wall outlets where the TV and coffeemaker are b/c they are always plugged in. This way, there are no dangling cords. LED Strips...Those I don't have. . "Is it annoying to have to fiddle around to plug in my blender vertically rather than straight into the wall? Is one option going to be significantly more expensive than the other?" Yes, the Plugmold will be more expensive. By angling the Plugmold, it's easy to plug things in. Mine was purchased "angled", but others have purchased the non-angled (flat) and then angled it themselves.

Hi David,

Do you know if the trim with a groove for LED strip they used was available for purchasing somewhere or they had to manufacture it?

Alex, the team made it themselves. I made some for my own bath (photo) with 1x2 placed sideways and a cove mold below. I just cut a 1/8" deep groove in the 1x2, about 1/2" wide to conceal the tape but not so deep that it blocks light. You can use a dado blade or router.
