LED strip lighting.

You can find a product for just about any application.

I had a darkish stained wood ceiling 30 feet up in a room that really needed more light at night.

The existing track lighting with small spots just wasn't working and the halogen bulbs did not last very long and changing them out was a pain - not something the homeowner wanted to tackle.

I believed that LED strip lighting would work well. Fortunately there was a timber frame which provided beams which gave a hidden surface on which to install the strip lighting.

I used an earlier version of this product:

I installed one strip of LEDs on each side of the room (the long side - appx 30ft) and powered them with dimmable LED drivers.

They provide enough light to overcome the darkness of the wood ceiling and the height to provide decent light at night in the otherwise dark room

The homeowner was very pleased with the result.
