Re: led strip, alu mounting strips
You mean something like this?
Here I didn't have to use a plastic cover to make the light more diffuse: But here I did: It's a matter of distance and the surface on which the light is shining.
You can always apply the aluminum strip with diffuser afterwards, if the result is not satisfactory; or try a small length before you decide what to do.

Re: led strip, alu mounting strips
I have Ledstrip embedded in a plastered ceiling which is done with Alu U-shaped strip that comes with a diffusion cover.
I did that in the bathroom as shown here: As you can see this works out pretty well, I think the type of solution you are looking for is gonna require a similar solution.

Hi Maarten,
Where did you buy the alu strips?
Are they made for it, or is it your own design?
