LED light strip on the ceiling
Installing LED strips on the ceilings is a modern lighting design practice. Especially in the suspended ceiling, it can create a charming indirect lighting effect.
I think we usually install LED light strip in the ceiling living room. So it is recommended to use 2700K-3000K (warm white light) to create a warm atmosphere.
LED strips in grooves
For example, wall grooves and floor grooves can use a combination of LED strips and LED profiles. Adding aluminum profiles and milky white diffusers can obtain a more uniform light strip effect.
This installation is a typical practice of hidden light sources, which can create a clean, simple, and modern lighting effect.
LED strips on the base
At the bottom of the cabinet (such as kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and TV cabinets), LED strips can create a beautiful “floating” visual effect, which is very suitable for increasing the sense of space.
In addition, when installing, the strips are facing downward or 45° to the ground to avoid strong light directly hitting the human eye. Use soft light strips to avoid obvious circles of light on the ground.
LED strips on skirting boards
Installing light strips on skirting boards can provide safe ground lighting and enhance the interior refinement. There are two places to install them. The LED strips can be embedded in custom skirting boards or installed above/inside traditional skirting boards.
LED strips in corners
Installing LED tape in corners can strengthen the contours of the space and enhance the visual extension. Corner installation generally uses special V-shaped (90°) LED aluminium profiles to assist installation, making the light strips stable and beautiful.
