The bedroom can be a place we go to get inspired for the day - an oasis that promotes carefree relaxation and thought. Your bedroom can spark such imagination and thinking when the right mood is set. And, there is nothing that sets the mood better than good lighting. Lighting is an essential component of bedroom design as it sets the tone and purpose for your space.

Cove lighting, which is found around the ceiling, is a very stylish way of illuminating a bedroom and creating that atmosphere you are looking for. With warm light temperatures, which are easy on the eyes, you can realize a calming effect that is more in tune with your circadian rhythm. Or, perhaps a bright room to help you with your reading, writing or thoughts.

Additionally, cove lighting can be installed to operate independently of other lights in the room, and can make a very bold statement. From low lighting to high brightness, you can control what you need with or without the other lights in the room. It is also an excellent accompaniment to “headboard” and other bedroom lighting, and can create a beautiful balance between all the elements in the room.

LED strip lights are ideal for cove lighting as they produce lines of light that can easily follow the angles of any ceiling. LED strips range from 8mm to 12mm in width, which means they can be placed along with crown moldings or along the edge of a tray ceiling, a feat not easily achieved by rope lights or light bulbs.

Strip lighting is also fully dimmable which is great for bedroom lighting should you want a lower or brighter lighting experience. What’s more, the lights can also be installed without the need for an extrusion. This makes for a sleek and modern bedroom lighting system that’s both fashionable and will ignite the inspiration you desire in the bedroom each and every day.

Dimming Options:

Dimmer wall switch - The LutronⓇ LED dimmers are the perfect dimming option for a classic kitchen. The benefit of this wall switch is that it can fit into a regular wall receptacle.

Wireless Wall or Desktop Controller for Dynamic Tunable Series - Dynamic Tunable LED strip lights need specific controllers that enable turning the lights on and off, dimming and selecting a color temperature. The wireless wall dimmer has a sleek design and can be installed in a regular wall receptacle. On the other hand, the desktop dimmer can be placed on a nightstand or in a draw when not in use. These dimmers are wireless and work via radio frequency (RF) which allows the lights to be controlled from another room if needed (dimmer will work up to 100 ft/ from the receiver).
