I absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing.
excellent and Very clear video, I am sure I will be calling in the near future once my renovation is more complete
Beautiful install lots of information as well 👍🏾👍🏾
Nicely explained. Thanks.
It's so funny how there are a million videos of a tacky setup with the strips facing directly outward. This is such an easy process that makes it look so much better.
Not me who actually think bare leds look cool
AWSOME timing !! For this video . I’m installing crown on my kitchen cabinets and want to put led lights on the crown & underneath the cabinets as well
Yes this may tilt the balance for not requiring another light source like recessed cans.
Thank you for the video, its very helpful.
Useful information. Thank you ❤
So talk regular crown molding, take 1 x 2 cut correct angle on 1 side glue and brad nail to back of crown so has correct angle so can be caulk to wall and then finish nails for rest . A little hvac joint sealing foil tape &
voila you ready to go.
Going to get this ASAP!
Good job I love this
🙏 nicely explained
Great video.
this is amazing. finally a straight forward easy way to have ceiling led lights. I will be ordering from you guys soon!
thank you for sharing!
Such a great video . Thank you so much
This is perfect to my small house!
good video...
Nice
Any reviews available for this light system? Seems like the best option. Haffele is super expensive.
Thank you for this awesome video. I want to install this type of lighting in our daughter's room which has the exact same slope at the top 12 1/2" of the walls as the room shown in your video. I was thinking that the crown should go at the top of the slope. I hadn't thought of placing it at the bottom. Is it a no-no to put it at the top? Our daughter's room is about 11ft 5" square. Would the strip lighting produce enough light to be used as the main lighting for the room or would we need to add can lights in the ceiling as well. (There is no overhead lighting in this room, just a ceiling fan with no light.) TIA
💯💯
I checked, but none of the hardware stores around me had any tuba 4s.
Great video! How do you clean the crown moulding when dust settles on it?
Feather duster or a blow dryer on cool.
Excellent overview but it left a few questions unanswered. How do you address voltage drop over long LED runs? Are RGB LED strips available? How are joints between lengths of crown handled? I HATE installing crown but this system is very tempting.
Voltage loss?? We use the heavy 6 oz copper strip custom made for us. The heaviest. I think you might find is 4 oz out there.
We do not sell the crown molding.

They can take good care of you. Their crown molding with the flat back design is perfect for a good look in a home and the prefect match for Crown Molding LED lighting.
For Color RGB strips? Keep watching on our website:

About the end of March 2021 we will have some heavy 6 oz strips that can run up to 84 feet with very low voltage and light loss. Send us your link to get on our mailing list from our contact page.
@@crownmoldingledlighting3674 Thanks much for the detailed reply. The circumference of my room is 65-feet so I will definitely get on your mailing list.
Please what is the importance othe reflective tape?
looks like a great idea but that crown moulding site doesn't work anymore!
Is it available in India pls let me know the details
Nice video. Are these LED's bright enough to light the room adequately as the primary source of light without any other lighting? I want to light my kitchen with indirect light like this as the only source of light for bright, glare free upward facing indirect light.
No, wouldn't be bright enough & even if extremely high output, you wouldn't get the right light spread or should I say directional light...
It all depends on the size of your room, color of your walls, your ceiling, your cabinets, your counters and your age.
The older you are the more light that is required. In most cases you might require another light source in the room.
This is indirect lighting, also known as ambient lighting. It is not a main lighting source like a lamp or ceiling light. It is intended for mood not for reading
Awesome I have a few questions.
1. Can you wire these directly in to light dimmable light switch?
2. Can you use a light diffuser track instead of crown molding?
3. If you use a light diffuser track the wago connector would not fit can you remove those and use a different connector or solder the wires together?
There are different dimmers for different power supplies and LED light types. So it all kind of varies.
Hi there, what’s it like connecting two pieces of moulding together as in side by side. Are there any gaps visible?. If so how can you get rid of them?
Go to www.austincrownmolding.com and watch there videos.
If you have a long section made of multiple pieces, you should saw both ends at an angle, super glue them together before install, some light sanding and painting for a invisible seam
Buongiorno, mi potrebbe dire per favore le misure della cornice grazie
Hi! Is the lightning enough to light up room or still need to have an extra lamp?
IT WILL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF LIGHT BY ITSELF.
How did the molding stick to the wall?
Just simple cheap painters caulk. Just press it to the wall and wait a few hours before installing light strips.
Just grab a tube of that 'Adhesive type Caulking"
This is nice. Do you guys also ship to foreign country's?
Sorry we are just selling in the USA.
You need to find a buyer because there is a market for home improvements here in UK since we are all stuck indoors and nothing else to spend our money on! I'm one of them!
@@oasiscat5828 what is the shop called?
may i know how is the wireless power pack work? Without battery or electricity?
It RF technology It creates a small pulse when you push the rocker switch. Kind of magical!
The switch will be powered by kinetic energy, far from magic 😆
@@bellas_switch_adapted_toys Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Arthur C Clarke
Caulk though? It shrinks and sounds like they will eventually popping off the wall after a few months
I have manufactured and sold this lighting for almost 23 years. I have not had one single customer or comment about crown molding coming off the wall because of painter caulk.
It bond so well that you would have to pry the crown molding off of the wall. So it all respect your comment is not legitimate. Thank you.
Do you have any shop in australia? you guys do shipping?? TIA
I am sorry pal. We are just in Texas, USA
The power pack converts 120 VAC to 24VDC. It must be plugged in. It is not a battery. The wireless switch requires no power not even a battery to operate.
Correct no wiring or battery
Can you please tell me how a wireless switch sends an (wireless) electrical signal to a receiver with no power?
David It seams magical almost. It is a patented technology. It uses Kinetic power.
When you push the dimmer it produces a small little snap. The snap generates a signal and power. It sends a RF signal to a module and it tells the power supply what level of light to deliver. I have walked in a straight line of 300 ft and tested it. It worked perfectly. I have tested it going through 3 sheetrock Walls about 50 + feet and still worked great.
@@crownmoldingledlighting3674 amazing
Very simple! Each wall is cut to length with wire soldered on the ends. They use snap on wire connectors. Just unsnap the wires pull the light strip out and send it back to us and we will repair or replace it.
We keep a print on file of your project.
Everything goes back 100% the same.
If you could give me color options, I'd say take my money and buy from you right now
We have 3000K warm white and 4000k natural white. I can be contacted from www.crownmoldingledlighting.com/index.html. Thanks
You could easily install your own RGB LED tape from any manufacturer, along with RGB driver and controller..!
Good idea but to expensive for styrofoam molding. Great video very detailed and to the point
Thanks for the comment. Its not like soft foam packing material. Its made much more dense.
About the same cost of wood. Huge labor saver!
No nailing, no holes to fill and no contraction, expanding or splitting like wood moldings. Only takes one coat of paint. The best you will find for LED lighting. You should try it.
@@crownmoldingledlighting3674 If it's made of foam, it must be flammable and thus inappropriate for using inside homes I guess???
@@mariejung4304 It has been sold in the USA for almost 20 years residential and commercial use. is is complete safe. It carries a very good class a fire rating. Heres is a link for the report:
styrofoamcrownmolding.com/class_a_fire_rated_foam_crown_moldings.html
14:29 how is it possible that it doesn't require any electricity? magic?
Do these have color?
Yes we will have long run hi power led strips in a few weeks. Will will run up to 85 feet on one power supply. With full power. visit this link to sign up for updates. crownmoldingledlighting.com/contact-us-crown-molding-LED.html
The first of May we will have our long run LED systems ready to build up for your project.
I think it is Leviton, not Lexington.
Why does the crown molding look like it’s made of styrofoam?
It looks that way because it's white. Styrofoam is a brand name of Dow chemical. Actually all white foams are not Styrofoam! Styrofoam is actually blue. We call it foam crown molding because that's what people relate to. It's actually polystyrene. Polystyrene is made several ways. It can be extruded, expanded and molded. Polystyrene can be made almost as light as a feather or 20% harder than Wood. In this case it is molded under high pressure and is a high density material. The surface is as smooth as a piece of copy paper. Thanks for your interest.
@@crownmoldingledlighting3674
Ya I couldn’t put Foam Crown molding up… LOL
does the reflective tape cause any problems with heating? sometimes leds can get hot without the diffusers, so im just curious
Thats a good question. Our strips are the heaviest copper strips on the market. Most strips come in a 2-3 OZ. There is no heat sink for heat to dissipate.
Ours are a heavy custom made 6 OZ! You should never use a metal aluminum tape. The tape should be on the back of the strip and never covering any chips.
We us sell a mylar reflective tape.
@@crownmoldingledlighting3674 oh awesome sauce! thank you
do you have LED strips that are hard wired in?
Each end of the LED strips have wires on them. They all snap together. Uses 120V - 24 VDC
Only worried if it may have fire safety issues
It might shock you but our foam crown moldings have a class A fire rating. They have been tested. Safe for you home! Here is a link from a certified testing lab: They have fire retention materials made in them. www.styrofoamcrownmolding.com/class_a_fire_rated_foam_crown_moldings.html
sounds like styrofoam
Its called High density molded polystyrene. The most dense foam product made in the world.
I really really loved your video. ☺️ you were so pleasant to listen to. This is a look I’ve been seeing in a lot of Korean home aesthetics when I’m watching tv ….. the rich homes they always have bank recessed walls and edges around every room that puts this type of indirect lighting in.
Would I be able to do this with a flat ceiling? Perhaps if I lower the crown moulding a little? Hmmm….. I really want to make this happen. I have no ceiling electrical options in my living and dining room! Gahhhh lol
