- How to Install Crown Molding and Light Strips Step by Step
1. Select Your Crown Molding and LEDs
Make a selection of crown molding that matches your interior style. The modern look is achieved using crown moulding with LED lighting, which is especially designed for LED strip accommodation. Make sure the LED lights you selected are flush-fit within the molding channel and brightened up to the level as well as color options you require.
2. Measure and Cut the Molding
Measure the length of your walls and cut the molding pieces according to the measured length, cutting at a precise angle with the help of a miter saw. Check your measurements twice for a snug fit. Use a level or laser guide to mark the molding placement on your walls.
3. Installation of Crown Molding
Mount the molding to the wall using mounting brackets or nails. Mount it slightly off the ceiling to allow for LED projection upward, and, as a precautionary measure for an uncomplicated look, tape off the walls and ceiling with painter’s tape to protect from adhesive or paint drips.
4. Install the LED Strips
Remove the adhesive backing from the LED strip, and stick it into the inner molding’s channel starting from one corner and moving around the perimeter with significant pressure to fix it perfectly. Leave some extra wire at the ends for the power adapter’s connection.
5: Connect the Power Supply
Connect the LED strips through the wire connectors to the power adapter. Connect the adapter to one of the outlets nearby or wire it into your home’s electrical system for a neater installation. Turn on the lights to test them, ensuring that they are in good working condition, before tucking loose wires away.
6. Tweak and Enjoy
Fine-tune your lighting with adjustable brightness and colours where possible. All should have a remote control or via use of smart home app.
