Think twice before using cove light. Collect a lot of dust. Then when you decide the area want to brighten or have stronger light,also no use.

Cove light diffuses onto the ceiling and bounces across the room. As long as the perimeter of your L-box is larger than the blade-span of your ceiling fan(which is usually the case), you do not need to worry about flickering effect due to the fact that cove light is an indirect light source.

it is not advisable to separate the tubes into different switches. All tubes need to be switched on to offer coherent cove lighting effect.

If cleaning once a year is fine with you, cove light provides excellent lighting from both practical and aesthetic aspect.

You can choose either T5 warm white tube or LED for cove light.

Hi all,

I like the effect of cove light but is always hesitating for I know it will be a paradise for all insects and lizards. Owners who have installed cove lights at home, pls share on the maintainence. Thanks.
