After taking considerable time off on my master bedroom ceiling project, I threw a shift of work into the cove lighting yesterday. Actually, a good stretch of the time off was consumed by my search for a proper lighting source. I desired something simple: an LED source, but not LEDs powered by a fancy driver offering multi-colors and requiring a proprietary controller. An unpretentious string of bright LEDs would do. I also wanted a 5000 Kelvin (cool white) light output. After considerable searching, I found a 70-foot, 120-volt, flexible string that met all my requirements, including a requirement that I could cut the string to a length matching my cove.
Yesterday,
I unfurled the string and fired it up to make sure the entire length functioned
properly. Satisfied with the results of that, I stuffed the string up inside
the cove and then tested it one more time. I am sharing two smartphone pictures
I captured while working on the lights.
