I did this in my living room 16 years ago. It looked great and was a real feature when I sold the house. Indirect lighting is awesome.
+peggyt1243 Do you like the low voltage strip light? waterproof one. maybe you can look here:

How did you clean the lighting strip?
Very nice! I had always wanted to know how to do this. My grandmother had this in her kitchen and I always thought it was very relaxing.
Great video, I have used a Trim-Tex 5" Glue On Crown Molding (with light channel) it basically is all three pieces you showed with a built in channel for 1/2" rope light.
my first impression was woow I know how to do that .... that's the beauty about trim finish carpentry is that it has no limits ... love the video
..keep it up
Thank you
This turned out awesome. Now it’s my favorite room in the house! Thanks!
The lighting gives the crown molding a very dramatic look, very nice!
Didn’t think about painting the inside of the trim. Great advice! Thanks.
Nice classes,Beautiful work! I like all of the work job's well done,it's great to see that is nothing turn in to something
Excellent indirect lighting. Excellent project. Watching here with full support from Canada 🇨🇦.
I'm remodeling a house that will be available for rent soon. ...I can't wait to do this on the master bedroom. ...my tenants are gonna luv it ;-) thanks for the video. ..great job. ..
Love this idea. Exactly what I was looking for.
all i can say is wonderful, i will try this. thank you Brian
this is so awesome and creates a cool effect to house for a low budget thanks a lot for sharing
looks awesome. I may have to do this. thanks for sharing
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! Great video!
excellent work.. nice detail and perfect finish..
Amazing works. It looks simple for DIY
One word, actually two words: that's beautiful!
Love it! Great job and wonderful idea!
That's a fantastic setup, thanks for sharing it
My only complaint about this video is that I didn't see it before remodeling my house. The concept is fantastic which makes me even more depressed I've already completed crown molding throughout the house. Great video!
I wish I saw this video before I installed crown molding in my living room. I love the lighting option.
very classy 3 layer design!
Nice job, I think the build up looked pretty good even before you put the crown up.
Better late than never! Just found this june 2016. what a great idea!
I found it in 2020..
4/2021!

Very impressive work.
wow that looks amazing!
Cool idea, doing this project this weekend. Thanks!
Excellent job... I love it .
Amazing!!!! Thx for the demo. I'm all in!
Great instruction and tutorial....
What a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
Looks great. great explanation on installing....will try
I love what you are doing
this is awesome ! great idea, many possibilities!
this is amazing!!!!! thank you so much for sharing.
muy bonito y facil y economico trabajo thanks bro
excellent instructional video.
So cool! I am going to do this to my house.
I like the accent lighting. Makes the interior of the home look more expensive, high end. I found that after about 2-1/2 years, incandescent rope lights will show signs of overheating and blackening if left on for long periods of time such as a night light. It was mounted in a similar fashion as this video shows. So, don't use it as a night light. I wouldn't leave them on for more than about 2-3 hrs at a time. I would go with LEDs from my experience.
wow great job
I like using christmas lights, those 50/100 lights on a string. I just set them up in the crevice and, after 3 years, they still work. But then again I don't keep them on night & day. Just a few hours a night
How bad is the dust collecting?
@@daug1783 Probably rough but I wonder if you could put some kind of clear cover over top
Thank you for the great info!
excellent video..thank you.
I had this put in my bathroom, it looks amazing! I love to keep it on the lowest & use it as a night light. I love how the light, lights up the bathroom so evenly.. And just love the look of how you can get a different feel with it being bright or dim..
+Denise Long Shiflett the moisture is gonna screw them up overtime..
+DS channel You shouldn't have a problem if you prime any bare wood (including back side) and seal any cut edges...this will keep the moisture from being absorbed by the wood.
+Armchair Builder yes we did do that :)
+DS channel I don't think it will, the guy who did it, builds houses & has this in his bathroom for 9 yrs. no problems :)
OMG I would love to see that I bet it's so pretty.
good job, very impressive!
Hi, great video! Could you tell me the space between the top of the crown and the ceiling?
Very nice work
Great design vid
Thankyou so much! This is helps me a lot ^^
Definitely cool. I need to do this!!!
that is AWESOME! Great Share!
This video is so underrated! I'm planning on doing something similar since I bought a house and realized I didn't have any recessed lighting in my living room / no attic space since there is a room sitting on the top.
Thanks for the nice comment.
Nice video! Thank you.
Really nice!
I like this video and glad I watched now to know better about the rope lights :)
Really nice
Great video, exactly what I’m looking to do myself. May I ask what the spacing is between the top of the crown and the ceiling?
I had this in mind but with leds, their brighter and are only 12 volts, and their pretty nice too
great video...thanks
Love it! I will have to add this somewhere in my house lol
Well done. Thanks.
If I am using a one piece crown molding (5 1/4 inches), what is the best way to fasten this to the wall. Not sure nails at the bottom only will be enough.
awesome job, super nice.
'
I did this exact same process after I watched this video and mine still looks and works great no sagging no swelling I've repainted it once in 4 years just because I have OCD but great video and thanks for sharing...
I made a mistake for the dislike! SORRY!
HOLA, ERA LO QUE ESTABA BUSCANDO,HABIA VISTO OTROS MAS COMPLICADOS Y ESTE SE ME HACE MUY FACIL, LE DIRE A MI HIJO, PUES ES MUY BUENO PARA HACER TRABAJOS DE RENOVACION, GRACIAS.
Nice ..I like that. Thank you.
2-3/4" from the ceiling to the top edge of the crown.
Are there written dimensions or directions for this project??
You could actually have it setup with Alexa, if you used the Phillips Hue light strips with extensions along with the Phillips hub. You’d of course need a Echo Dot to operate via voice, but that’s how I have my smart home setup and I love it.
Hi. Excellent posting. I am right in the middle trying to figure out the lighting arrangements in my basement. I have a question - how do you manage potential excess lighting tube once reaching back to the end of the room?
Many thanks
Jonas
superb i thank you very much
thank you
Eventually i would like to do that to my entire first floor lol I already have the outlet added within my tray ceiling in my foyer when i built my house. But i did not think about doing it to the whole first floor. It's gonna look amazing, i cant wait lol It's all about the resale value at the end of the day lol I also have a tv about the tub in my master bathroom.
Fantastic video. After all is said and done, about how tall is the gap between the ceiling and the top of the crown molding?
Hi, that is very impressive. But can you tell me how far down from the ceiling to the edge of the first layer,(not the crown) please?
mounted my 4.5'' crown about a half inch from the ceiling and used incandescent (the cheap ones) christmas lights on a remote control dimmer switch. I didnt install an outlet. my closet doors use to go to the ceiling so when i framed them down i left the backside open and poked a hole in the drywall to fish the wires through to where the outlet was installed in the closet. i bet your outlet idea is more up to code than mine.
Brilliant
Hi Jc. The bottom edge of the lowest piece of molding is about 7.5 inches from the ceiling
Awesome! Thinking of doing this except to hide speaker and data cables instead of lighting. Might just throw in some LED strips while I’m at it too. Might as well. Right?
fantastic!!
Bingo! Really cool would you advise neon or RGBW and led strip or rope ?
You may want to include the materials list in the description.
Extraordinary
i like your system
Awesome. How did you attach the moulding to the back peice? The contact area is very small, so was a nail enough?
Any ideas for a return to go back to the crown at the wall/ceiling? I can't seem to wrap my head around it!
Awesome
I love the idea, I have a little confuse with the measures can you explained in inches, sorry I’m not a carpenter
Thanks 👏👏👏
شكرا شكرا كثير
This is so awesome and creates a cool effect to house for a low budget thanks a lot for sharing.
What is a distance would you recommend to keep between ceiling and grown molding...ceiling and receptacle?
+mvit2000 The distance between the ceiling and the top of the crown depends on the height of the ceiling. If the ceiling is a standard 8', 3-4" should work.
+Armchair Builder I have 9'
Looks nice. Is it a dust trap?
Great job! Just want to ask the ideal distance between the tip of the crown molding and the ceiling? Thank you.
Conrado Pioquinto Hi Conrado. I personally think 3-4" down from the ceiling is perfect. This allows the light from behind the crown to cascade up the wall and onto the ceiling. Of course this is all about personal opinion...so go with what works for you.
Great idea! I'd love to do this in my kitchen and dinning area, but I wouldn't want it in the hall. How would you suggest transitioning from crown moulding against the ceiling in the halls to the crown moulding with the space between the crown and the ceiling?
I love your videos! so glad I found your channel ;)
I am building my first house, it will be complete in February. It is my goal to do things like this myself...but i doubt it cuz i am too lazy for all that lol I have the house built with outlets in the tray ceilings in the family room and the master bedroom, just for this.
How much distance did you leave between the bottom of the first strip (the one against the wall) and the bottom of the second strip?
I.e how tall is the reveal?
Great Job! I want to do similar for a Theater Room I am building. One question: Did you include any support for the top half of the crown or is is only supported by the nails in the trim piece. I am just wondering about so much upper crown being unsupported. Should I install some backing block every so often? Thanks again.
+rebadaddy We didn't use any support for the top half of the crown...although it's not a bad idea. If you do, make sure you keep it out of the way of the lighting, you don't want to cause the light to be of differing intensities along the length of the molding. If you nail and glue the bottom half of the crown, you should be OK.
Thanks for the video. I will be doing this with LED in the bathroom. Additionally, I will be able to run wire for a fan that blows from my living room with the heat pump to my bedroom. Two birds with one stone
How far down should the recessed outlet be installed?
GREAT
Hi Ian. The light came from Lowes...but I know HD has a similar product.
Hey Mr.builder what is the exact name for this light at lowes? thanks

Buy wentop RGB5050 from Amazon. I prefer the weather proof version. It's not actually weather proof but more durable. Wentop customer service is also great. I own two 8ft strips and 1 16ft strip
