Quick sparky tip I'd swear by! try not point the led strip strait up, the light catches the edge of nearby material and creates a slightly harsh uneven edge. If you point the strip back towards the wall, the light will tend to feather (as appose to more of a line) which creates a far better look in my opinion 👌
That looks so beautiful compared to the popular led setup where people just literally show the led strips around the room. When I see that, I just think, "That's so bad, don't people have any creativity nowadays?" Indirect lighting is a must.
Thanks for this video. I've been toying with the idea of a cove lighting remodel for my home and this one looks great while being simple to tackle. I'm experienced with electronics but not so much with a saw and home DIY.
I'm very impressed by the work you're doing, I'm about to start my son's bedroom and I'm going to install the l.e.d lighting. Your video has given me great inspiration, and I always take my hat off to a man who admits his mistakes. Good luck with the rest of your project 👍
The truth is that I didn't even consider it. The led was far enough away from the ceiling that it shows a fairly even reflection. So while a diffuser probably won't hurt, I don't think it was critical in this application (not visible directly and facing up to the ceiling)
I didn't see the dimensions of the mounding you used. It looks about three inches wide and perhaps 1/2 inch thick. Is that right? Do you remember where you got it and the brand?
So the low power cables that I ran from the ceiling to below, is connected directly to the LED power supply that came with the strip and is plugged into the wall
Seems like a lot for mood lighting , dont understand why you would want the colored lights seems disco-like. The gap above the cove should be painted white along with using white light to maximize the lighting in the room, right? But I see this alot in young couples homes the colored lights. good job otherwise.

Thank you, that makes sense.
Looks very good, only thing I'd do is paint the gap between the ceiling and cove white, so it doesn't match the wall.
Thanks for that tip.

100% agree
this was exactly what i was looking for to conceal my LED lights. premanufactured crown is crazy expensive. thanks brother
Glad I can help

If I can do it, you can too

Thank you...mistakes are a great way to learn!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!
Glad it helped.
I did it following your video and it came out great!
Thank you 🎉
Excellent. Very happy to hear that.
How come you didn't utilize a diffuser track?
The truth is that I didn't even consider it. The led was far enough away from the ceiling that it shows a fairly even reflection. So while a diffuser probably won't hurt, I don't think it was critical in this application (not visible directly and facing up to the ceiling)
Trim Looks great! I would like to use WLED and a compatible controller/leds/power supply. :)
I have been watching some UA-cam videos on this. It looks very interesting to me and I will certainly look into this for whatever the next project is.
Nice. What is the size of your ceiling ?
A typical normal ceiling height...8 feet
I didn't see the dimensions of the mounding you used. It looks about three inches wide and perhaps 1/2 inch thick. Is that right? Do you remember where you got it and the brand?
It's 1x3 pine boards and I got them from Home Depot.
@@MakingHomeBetter Thank you. I like our project.
What is the offset measurement on the piece that you used to put the 2nd piece of wood on the one that was already on the wall? THANKS
It's roughly a inch and a half. More than the measurement, I just tried to get an offset that gave the best look in my eyes.
@@MakingHomeBetter thanks for the prompt reply!!!
Looks good on the lighting… but what does your solution look like down below with the power?
So the low power cables that I ran from the ceiling to below, is connected directly to the LED power supply that came with the strip and is plugged into the wall
Great video
Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestions. Figured the multicolored gives us some options but like you said, most of the time it's on a single color.
How did u get the govee to go over 5m
I purchased the long version of the LED strip...it comes in 2 pieces and connects at the middle. I hope I understood the question correctly.
Always wanted that Nailer. It keeps coming down in price but I'm still not sold.
I have certainly had good luck with it.
was this expensive to install
No, the materials are not very expensive. You can do it for even cheaper by not doing the cove molding.
Hi,what is a size of the gap between ceiling and moulding?
It is roughly 3 inches. I really just tried out different heights with a template and the light to see what looks best.
