Cove lighting can bright up you room and used as main light without supporting lights and can be functioning as decorative light for evenings. Either way it is contemporary and very efficient.
Our LED Lighting coving has been specifically designed for LED Strip indirect lighting with extra high reflective arc.
Both for decorative light or for main light (task light) applications using Aluminium bar or L profile is recommended for dissipating the heat and preventing the transillumination through the XPS cove. Dissipating the heat ensures long life for the LED light strip if applied.
We offer quick connectors if it is suitable for your installation.
Decorative light applications:
- Aluminium bar (12mm wide - available from out stock) is recommended
- Single color LED strip (warm white or natural white) and RGB strip can be used.
- Cold white is not recommended.
Main light applications:
- You can generally read and work using this type of coving application without support tights.
- L Aluminium profile (12x12x2 mm -10mm inside- available from out stock) is recommended
- Single color LED ultra high bright LED strip or CCT (color temperature changing) LED strip can be used
- The strength of the LED strip has to be between 1800-2300 Lumen/m (available from our stock).
- If the wall is longer than 4m the LED strip has should be supplied from both sides.
- Can be used as decorative light if you use dimming for the night.
Power supply considerations
- When you supply LED light strips from one side only the power consumption of the LED light strip is far less than the nominal power given in the specification of the LED strip. The nominal power is a laboratory measured (or sometimes) calculated date for 1m LED strips supplied from both sides.
- Our LED Light strips recommended for main light are 100% enough for main light application. However according to our experience LED light strips bought from other suppliers, particularly from far east do offer a fraction of luminosity of the specification.
- Calculating the size of the power supply needed please contact us if you use our LED Light strips. We will need the length of led strip segments and the mode of supply (one side or both sides).
Switching and controlling consideration
- You can control your light simultaneously using our wall switch, remote controllers and even your mobile phone with our system.
- If you contact us we will help you to plan your controlling/switching options.
L Aluminium profile used for Main light LED coving application Aluminium bar is used for decorative light application.
Using L Aluminium profile by slight tilting different lighting effect can be achieved. See below.
