Cove lighting involves installing the lighting fixtures in a recessed cavity along the false ceiling’s perimeter. It is generally used as an indirect lighting source along with ambient lighting. While the latter provides uniform illumination in the room, the cove lights offer a soft and diffused glow, which adds depth and warmth to the space.

You can use this type of light to highlight any artwork, painting or other decorative item in your room. Also, since these lights work well to illuminate a small area of the room, you can combine them with ambient lighting used for general illumination. 

 LED strip lights
