Uplight coving
Discussion
I bought LED uplighting coving from a shop in Germany (found on ebay).
Here is a link to what I bought:

Make sure you buy the appropriate sized mitre box at the same time, I didn't, then couldn't find the right size from here so had to place another order and wait for delivery. It isn't plaster, but does look good.
No affiliation to the company, just a happy customer.

some decent stuff there.
I'm looking for something similar, but wide and can take spots, so it will have hidden LED, and spots for down lights.

Actually this company is pretty cool. Doubt its cheap though... http://vcut.co.uk/how-to-create-led-light-coves/

A friend has a ceiling like this, he just made a frame attached to the beams and then covered it in plasterboard. Something vaguely like:I'm looking for something similar, but wide and can take spots, so it will have hidden LED, and spots for down lights.

If I was going to do it I think I'd put a hidden lip on the inner edge and use an LED strip, like this:

That second one is pretty much exactly what I want to do, though with the spots in the frame not the ceiling (which I don't want to drop)If I was going to do it I think I'd put a hidden lip on the inner edge and use an LED strip, like this:

I am just going to use ordinary coving and run the led tape on a batton around the inside to keep it all evenly spaced.

Similar to what i am planning. But rather than in the coving (as wouldn't look right in an old house), I will be putting up a picture rail down from the coving with either batton or chamfered batton (to direct light to walls).V.

Thanks guys, they look awesome. I'm in the middle of doing this to the hall way in my flat. Iv got quite low ceilings to start with so my main issue is finding a coving that looks just right as there is only 6-1/2 inches(165mm) between the ceiling and the top of my architraves.
Trying to find a suitable coving for now And decide what the gap at the top should be.(25mm ish )

Not sure what you mean by coving as the ones pictured are all simply made from timber or MF then plastered.
Word of advice is to plaster the ceiling and 6" down the walls before you build any coffer detail especially if you are gonna be close to the ceiling
It's the same principle. Word of advice is to plaster the ceiling and 6" down the walls before you build any coffer detail especially if you are gonna be close to the ceiling
Why do you feel I need to plaster 6" down the wall?
My installation is domestic and on a much smaller scale, this looks like it might suit my needs given my low ceilings .http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282358665169?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=581478773393&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.
Iv seen a few other smaller profiles I could make work around 65mm-70mm, although 2x1 baton with a 1" upstand might be just as effective

Have a look at Orca Decor, a brand Ive seen sold in decorators merchants so assume it is decent quality https://www.oracdecor.com/en/indirect-lighting-2/i...Why do you feel I need to plaster 6" down the wall?
