Uplighting vaulted ceiling

Featured Replies

Hi, Im struggling to think of the best way to uplight this ceiling. Which ever route we go down I would like the lights to not be visible. I was thinking of some LEDs recessed into some coving/ plaster in profile or some wall mounted  uplights. Not sure what would give the best results. There will be one central light.

This is what we did, didn't want anything in the roof as difficult to maintain.

Thanks for your advice, we are going to hopefully have a central hanging light as a focal point witch may cause some cleaning issues in the future. And some sort of separate led lighting to highlight the vaulted part. I hadn’t really looked at wall light as had it in my mind I wanted some sort of hidden lighting, maybe plastered in wall. Anyone done  something similar.

Regards. James

Which lights are those? Looks surprisingly very low profile.

They are Edit Diamond LED Plaster Up & Down Wall Fitting In White. But are they available any more, couldn't find them!

Hi, @James94, this is what we did -> 

 

You'll see from the photos, that we did our living space in 3 sections, so we could have sections on or off and dim them separately. 

 

There are no central lights in any of our vaulted spaces - you might find that a central light fights against the sort of lighting effect that you get from an upwards wash of light. Maybe, put the electrics in there but try things without first to see if you re OK with just the leds in the coving.

That is unfortunate. I've got a room with sloped ceilings I'm trying to figure out lighting for. I've got downlights in the flat sections because I use it as a task room as well, but trying to figure out accent lighting is proving a nightmare. The knee walls are too low to put wall lamps on, and floor space is limited for floor lamps. So been trying to tinker with the idea of putting flush wall lights on the slopes themselves, but finding anything that would work has been... difficult. Maybe I'm just wanting something totally unworkable in the first place?
