Ceiling coves
Review setback, illuminated surface and the visible result at corners.
BEXLIGHTING / APPLICATION SOLUTION
Cove LED strip lighting for interior joinery details.
Extend your interior detail with concealed cove lighting. Explore strip models and share the recess geometry, individual lengths and intended light effect for a project quotation.
THE LIGHTING GOAL
Plan an even indirect-light effect around the recess and illuminated surfaces.
THE KEY CONSTRAINT
Visible length is not the same as the permitted powered run.
START WITH THIS DRAWING
A reflected ceiling plan and recess section with finishes, individual runs and service points.
INSTALLATION POSITIONS
Place the light with a purpose.
Identify each position and its individual length. The mounting detail should follow how the space is viewed and used.
Use your furniture drawings to define the actual light positions.
Wall recesses
Show the recess section, surface finish and line of sight to the source.
Interior feature lines
Plan separate feeds and connections without assuming unlimited continuous runs.
Dry indoor accent details
Assess heat, dust and moisture for the exact concealed position.
INSTALLATION DETAIL / CONCEPT
Design the recess around the light.
Review recess geometry and the finish in a mock-up. Separate the overall illuminated length from each powered section, and leave a practical route to the supply and connections.
- Mark individual lengths and approved cut positions.
- Confirm profile clearance and cable exits.
- Keep drivers and service connections accessible.
Concept diagram only. Not to scale; connections, supply and feed limits require the exact component instructions.
COMPONENT SCOPE
Products and support for this application.
LED strip
Exact SKU, CCT, individual lengths and confirmed performance.
Profile & cover
Usable dimensions, mounting method, end caps and visual sample.
Feeds & controls
Connections, compatible supply and any sensor or dimming system.
Approval record
Drawings, sample reference and relevant product documents.
Planning checklist only; component availability and supply scope must be confirmed in the quotation.
SELECTION REQUIREMENTS
Light placement and installation checks
Recess geometry
Provide the section drawing, setbacks and surface finishes. Review the appearance using a mock-up or lighting design; the strip name does not determine uniformity.
Long runs and power feeds
Separate the visible length from the permitted powered runs. Review confirmed W/m, cable routes, driver locations and the manufacturer’s feed limits.
Output and installation conditions
Request measured output and operating requirements for the chosen SKU. Assess temperature, dust and moisture for the actual recess rather than assuming every indoor position is suitable.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Questions about cove & indirect light.
Can I specify a continuous run from total metres alone?
No. The feed arrangement and product-specific electrical limits must be reviewed.
Does 24V establish the maximum run?
No. Use the exact SKU’s documented run limits and the proposed cable layout.
Is a recess enough to protect an IP20 strip?
No. A concealed location does not by itself establish water protection or suitable operating conditions.

PRODUCT SELECTION
COB or SMD for cabinet lighting: what should you compare?
Compare the visible light line, physical fit, cut points and confirmed output before choosing a family for cabinetry.
Read the article →MODEL SELECTION
Choose output for the actual recess
Compare the recess dimensions, setback and desired light distribution. Plan power feeds using the confirmed model rating and permitted run length.
Evaluate the chosen BEXLIGHTING model in your own profile or assembly before finalising a larger installation.
Compare model specifications →Cove LED strip lighting for interior joinery details
For cove LED strip lighting, the recess and reflecting surface shape the visible result. Check the strip’s setback, concealment and access for maintenance before choosing a model. Confirm electrical feed positions and thermal conditions for each installed section; the appearance and usable run cannot be established from a roll photograph.
