Indirect lighting in new construction, build it yourself

Hello,

we have bought a newly built semi-detached house and want to install indirect lighting in certain rooms.

Can someone help us how we can build the indirect lighting ourselves, for example under the ceiling?

What is the easiest way to build indirect lighting in a new building?

We want to combine indirect lighting and direct lighting depending on what is desired.

Ideas: 1. Wall-ceiling transition with a decorative molding and a concealed LED strip behind it, which illuminates the ceiling and is not directly visible. Visually effective only in fairly high rooms. 2. Work with partial suspensions and illuminated recesses. I have not seen this implemented beautifully in small rooms yet. 3. Ceiling uplighters with wall or ceiling mounting as half- or full-shell. 4. Track or cable system with luminaires tiltable towards the ceiling. 5. Use diffuse light instead of indirect light, e.g., with a backlit stretch ceiling or a daylight panel.

thank you for your ideas

ceiling height is approx. 2.35m and the individual rooms or areas where I want the indirect light are rather small.

we had already imagined that the light sources (as the only sensible option I would say LED strips) are hidden

At 2.35, I advise against a continuous edge on the wall with LEDs behind it for indirect ceiling lighting - it makes the room look visually deeper when the light is off.

Better to work with diffusers than installed indirect technology in small rooms. The light of an uplighter is simple and very cozy - they are quite easy to find as a floor lamp.

ok thanks

so it can be stated that indirect light with LED strips is only possible with skirting boards under the ceiling or if the entire inner ceiling is suspended and a gap for the LED strips is left on the outside

otherwise, you'd have to use floor lamps, uplighters, etc.?

For LED strips, pay attention to the temperature development and, if necessary, its dissipation. Not all remain cool. For half shells, I would like to point out the material plaster. Equally affordable as it is good.
