My study is being redecorated after the need to dig under the floor to replace the incoming water main. I am refitting the fitted bookcases across one wall and I have a wire in place to add some lighting. I want lights behind the cornice of the bookcases shining onto the ceiling for a nice gentle dffused effect.
In the few years since I last looked everything has gone LED and I have no idea what kind of fitting I need. An LED cord? A batten? or battens? In the olden days you might have used fluorescent tubes, but not now. The bookcase is all of one wall, 2.5m wide and the cornice is about
300mm below the ceiling. I have some foil tape to make it all reflective.
What sort of light is needed in this situation?
