How to achieve ceiling recess LED strip

[freka859]

I would love to get tips on how you would solve this. Making a bathroom. The ceiling should be flat. Boards are attached to 45x70 (sparse would work but tight given the spot) that sit on the old tensioned paper ceiling with regular boards underneath. Part of the ceiling is sloped.

We want a recessed LED strip around the ceiling along the wall-ceiling angle. How do I construct this recess in the simplest/best way? Use 28x70 closest to achieve the level difference. Or add an extra board that doesn't go all the way out?

Thoughts and tips are welcome.

Do you want an LED strip recessed in the ceiling along the walls?

Have you considered the type of LED strip?
Should the LED strip shine directly down, or should it shine upwards so that the light reflects down?

Should the LED strip be visible or hidden?

What type of ceiling tiles should it be?


Here are some examples,

Can be plastered into the ceiling.
Alternatively, you can build a box of type MDF and plaster around the edges if you want more reflective light and not straight down.

Can be embedded in the ceiling.
Alternatively, you can build a box out of MDF and plaster around the edges if you want more reflective light and not straight down.

Building a box sounds like a possible solution. Good tip. That rail seems a bit too far from the wall, I think.

It's a bit of this feeling we want to achieve. Haven't decided on the strip, thanks for the input on that too

This is the kind of feeling we are aiming for. Haven't decided which mold, thanks for the inputs there too

This is probably built with a drywall mounted on a steel frame? I've seen many videos where this is done anyway.

If you look at the shadow, the list is probably about 40-50 mm in.

Yes, you can place it wherever you want; the frame doesn't need to be mounted exactly at the edge of the board.

Can be stylish and provide a pleasant light, but is somewhat problematic with grazing light. Whether against the ceiling or the wall. Be prepared for all imperfections such as puttying/joints to stand out strongly. The smallest detail can appear sharply and may not be very pleasing to the eye.

Can be nice and provide pleasant lighting, but it can be a bit troublesome with grazing light. Whether against the ceiling or the wall. Be prepared for all imperfections like spackling/seams to stand out strongly. Even the smallest detail can stand out sharply and may not be so nice for the eyes to see.

It looks really nice if you have one of those acoustic walls or whatever it's called. It looks like a fence with a black background.

I believe it is such lighting that Hide-a-lite describes like this:

That actually looks interesting. But it's in the bathroom ceiling. I'm thinking about moisture and such. How would you make it "tight" where the stud is?

Yes, of course. Now it will mainly be the wall. Ceramic on the wall. Haven't decided on the size of the tiles yet. But they will be installed without grout lines.

Yes, of course. It will mainly be the wall now. Ceramic on the wall. Haven't decided on the size of the tiles yet. But they will be set without grout joints.

Then it might work if it's not painted/spackled, and as you asked, above the shower it should have low voltage and not 230 V, wrong zone for that. So maybe around the edges or in the ceiling above the sink and another regular one in the ceiling.

Then it can be done if it isn't painted/spackled. As for above the shower, as you asked, it should be low voltage and not 230 V, wrong zone for that. So maybe around the edges or in the ceiling above the sink and another regular one in the ceiling.

Exactly. It will probably be a 24 V strip from hidealight. Not certain around the entire ceiling yet. In the middle of the ceiling, there will be a grouping with three Quick Level ISO. The strip is mostly for appearance and to compensate for the lack of light from the spotlights where there is a slanted ceiling. It is a relatively large area with a slanted ceiling and the risk that it could get a little dark there.
