led strip, alu mounting strips

[Harry]

i am planing to use some ledstrip decorative lighting in our house.
i have some ledstrips,....but what to use to mount them.
i have seen some alluminum mount strip with an plastic cover.
who can tell me what best to use.

[Rene]

Where do you want to mount it?
How do you want to light an object, wall or ...?

[Harry]

i am thinking of licht line along the celing, where the wall meets the celing.
it has to be a little defuse light.
the celing we have in this part of the house is a
(systeem plavond)

You mean something like this?
Here I didn't have to use a plastic cover to make the light more diffuse:

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.

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.

looks great,
when we we give our bathroom a make over in the future,is this a good idea.

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