Crown Molding with Indirect Lighting Installation 

+peggyt1243 Do you like the low voltage strip light? waterproof one. maybe you can look here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z5OYSQ8?m=A373EGBA5EEVS4&qid=1456988723&ref_=sr_1_1&s=merchant-items&sr=1-1

How did you clean the lighting strip?

wow great job

I like using christmas lights, those 50/100 lights on a string. I just set them up in the crevice and, after 3 years, they still work. But then again I don't keep them on night & day. Just a few hours a night

How bad is the dust collecting?

@@daug1783 Probably rough but I wonder if you could put some kind of clear cover over top

+Denise Long Shiflett the moisture is gonna screw them up overtime..

+DS channel You shouldn't have a problem if you prime any bare wood (including back side) and seal any cut edges...this will keep the moisture from being absorbed by the wood.

+Armchair Builder yes we did do that :)

+DS channel I don't think it will, the guy who did it, builds houses & has this in his bathroom for 9 yrs. no problems :)

OMG I would love to see that I bet it's so pretty.

I made a mistake for the dislike! SORRY!

I found it in 2020..

Are there written dimensions or directions for this project??

Or adding a cove

+VanHustler Tape lights are nice...but they are typically much more expensive.

Got a nice 15 ft roll off ebay for only $13. It includes the adapter kit & remote changer with free shipping. Not the cheap chinese stuff either.

+VanHustler It sounds like you got a great deal. I will have to look for our next project. Thanks

No doubt. with the selectable multicolor LEDs, you would be set up for any occasion.

Be careful from Ebay. All my LED's for car, house, etc, are going bad in only 6 months. Now probably going to buy from Home Depot.

Thanks Debbie

4 years later and still no one gives a rat's ass

Hi Terry. For our project, the top edge of the electrical box was 2-1/4" from the ceiling.

Conrado Pioquinto Hi Conrado. I personally think 3-4" down from the ceiling is perfect. This allows the light from behind the crown to cascade up the wall and onto the ceiling. Of course this is all about personal opinion...so go with what works for you.

It would make a nice indirect light for a home theater for sure. You would need to check with the manufacturer of the light to see if it can be dimmed. Some types of LED lighting create a fire hazard when used on a dimmer. Otherwise, I think that's a great idea.

I'm guessing a hand held vac can take care of that. I'm still trying to see if it's worth the extra cleaning.

Wow.... Good food for thought... /mmm

2-3/4"

I think it's going to be tough to fit the crown into a space that is only 3-5" from ceiling to top of window. And yes, one way to handle a wall that slopes is to end the crown and return it to the wall with a small piece. That's if you don't want it to be installed on an angle (which can be done...but honestly, I'm not crazy about it). You could then restart the crown at the next level. You will most likely need several wall outlets to connect the switch to so that each section of lighting comes on at the same time. Hope this helps.

+mvit2000 The distance between the ceiling and the top of the crown depends on the height of the ceiling. If the ceiling is a standard 8', 3-4" should work.

+Armchair Builder I have 9'

We did cope some of them...depending on the wall angles. No, it didn't affect the light.

Hi Paul. Glue should work...but you can also shoot a nail through the corner at the top of the crown which will give additional stability.

Thanks Michael.

AgentAndroid LEDs don't produce heat. The dust wouldn't be any more of a fire hazard as a normal light

this rope light doesnt have LEDs.

you can run a notch in the back of the crown piece and put a lexan top on it for dust purposes.

Kadar Mohaideen check behind your sofa there's some in there as well lol

There's something you can do called cleaning regularly

Kadar Mohaideen if pests are gonna go up there and live then you better be careful cause they are gonna be in your underwear also!!!!

I usually use Raid for small pests. Including my wife and she never goes in areas she shouldn't live anymore.

Actually I'm thinking its 8.5 ft ceilings.. I can touch the ceiling without jumping.

Jake Pyrett Hi Jake. The room shown in this video has eight foot ceilings. My personal opinion is that it doesn't make the room look smaller. I would stay away from dark paint or stained crown...I do think those have a tendency to make the room feel smaller.

You should have made a video 20 years ago.
