How to build the molding.
Rope lights are an excellent choice for crown molding lighting in rooms where you desire a soft gentle glow of accent lighting such as home theaters and media rooms.
Coped corners require a special technique so that the rope lighting can make the turn.
To provide sufficient space behind and conceal the lights a 1x2 board is added to the back and the crown is hung upside down.
Chair rail moulding is applied on the wall about 1 3 of the way up from the floor.
The crown is installed in reverse so the thicker ceiling edge can hold the weight of the floating molding.
Follow along to learn how to install lighted crown moulding to your rooms.
Panel moulding is a purely decorative moulding used to trim raised panel wall construction.
With the crown molding close to the ceiling the light from the rope light bounces off the wall and spreads onto the ceiling a short ways.
