Hi,
We have a (relatively) lot of wall space in some of our hallways. This would be excellent to capitalize on for hanging artwork.
But, lighting sucks -- the halls typically only need enough light to insure folks can safely navigate them, not the sort of lighting that you'd want to examine a piece of artwork.
I thought of mounting a low voltage LED strip along the "seams" where the ceiling meets the two opposing walls. Angle these down and *across* so the strip at the top of the left wall illuminates the *right* wall -- and vice versa.
But, a strip of bare LED's would be brutal on the eyes (even on a dimmer control). So, ideally, place them behind a "quarter round" made of diffused Lexan or similar. Like taking a tubular fluorescent lamp and cutting it in quarters along it's length.
When off, the light strip would just look like a grayish plastic molding along the top of each wall. When lit, it would be a bar of light illuminating the opposing wall.
Anything like this on the market? (note, it would need to be "custom" length as I don't want to be pasting X foot lengths together -- tacky!) Or, any materials that I could possibly use to achieve these results?
(I figure 2 in dia would be a minimum to start "quartering")
