A new challenge for all you “Mad Hatters” out there. “March Hares” are also welcome to help confuse.
About to start the wiring on our new house. Have planned all along for cove lighting in main rooms (LR, DR, K). Now must put money where mouth is. Electrician friend who is helping/advising has never installed same, and couldn’t give me much help on how, etc. to do it. Ceiling height is 9 ft. We will be putting a wide cove moulding around rooms to hide the lights, etc. Once lived in a house w/ cove lighting, and loved the brightness it gave w/ few shadows and dark areas. Have seen nothing in “How To” books about it. Have lots of capacity – 200 Amp service w/ 40 circuit service panel.
Any suggestions?

Have need to bump up this year 2000 thread which had no replies; yet now applicable for me. Soon to begin electrical for new home with 9 ft ceilings & need to be able to advise electrician & framer what was sought in initial thread as well as for our new home with Cove Lighting; especially for family room having Cathedral ceiling height @ 12 ft.
Appreciate any input you can provide!
