Back lighting - Coves

Dear Reader,

In this blog we talk about the placement/positioning of the of the light source. Its important to conduct a mock up. Mock up is like a rehearsal before one takes up full scale installation. Its important to note the following:
1) Depth of the niche / cavity -  this gives the idea on how to place the light source and the angle.
2) Texture or the type of surfaces - to know how likely one can see the hotspots / dots on the surface.

Below picture shows the positioning of the profiles / channels on which the led strips (in this case) is to be angled for the best results. However its important to note depending on the surface and the visual impact the decision has to be taken. Sometimes the brightness is the concern, the distance to which the light travels and sometimes just a faint glow is the intent. It all depends on how the finished project is going to look like.




 Its always important to make sure that the surface is smooth so that the undulations of the surface do not impact the appearance of the finished project. In my next blog I'll try to explain the how to obtain the best results from the flexible strip lights.

  1. Great job for publishing such a beneficial web site. Your web log isn’t only useful but it is additionally really creative too. There tend to be not many people who can certainly write not so simple posts that artistically. Continue the nice writing led strip manufacturers
