I'm going to install cove lighting in my living/dining room. I was going to use a backboard behind the moulding, but wanted to know if it's okay to use rope-lights. If so, what kind are better and do they give off too much heat?
hard situation. browse onto a search engine. that can help!
Rope lighting is a common install for cove lights. All you need is an outlet on a switch to turn them on. Most rope light assemblies use 5watt bulbs, so the heat really isn't a factor. As long as the cove molding is open to dissipate the heat.
