Light Without Source

Indirect lighting transforms spaces by hiding the light source itself. LED strips concealed in coves, under cabinets, or behind mirrors create effects where light appears to emanate from nowhere.

This approach emphasizes the result—the atmosphere, the mood, the visual impact—rather than the hardware. The light becomes part of the architecture itself.

Installation Techniques

Cove Lighting

LED strips installed in architectural coves create soft, diffused light that washes walls or ceilings. This technique eliminates glare and creates ambient illumination that feels natural and unobtrusive.

Cove lighting is particularly effective in spaces where you want general illumination without visible fixtures, creating a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Under-Cabinet and Task Lighting

LED strips mounted under cabinets or shelves provide focused task lighting while remaining completely hidden from view. This creates clean lines and eliminates shadows in work areas.

The low profile of modern LED strips makes them ideal for these applications, allowing for precise placement without compromising aesthetics.

Design Philosophy

Emphasis on Effect

By hiding the light source, attention shifts to how light transforms space rather than the fixtures themselves. This creates more immersive, atmospheric environments.

Architectural Integration

Indirect lighting becomes part of the architecture, working with rather than against the design. Light and structure become inseparable.

Minimalist Aesthetic

Clean lines and hidden sources create spaces that feel uncluttered and sophisticated, where light serves the design without competing for attention.

Creating Floating Effects

One of the most striking applications of indirect lighting is the creation of floating effects. When LED strips are placed under furniture or along the bottom edges of structures, they create the illusion that objects are suspended in space.

This technique adds visual interest and depth to interiors, making spaces feel more dynamic and modern while maintaining a clean, minimalist appearance.
