I tried both these ways...
Right, the reflection is too sharp in the 1st picture.
But you've lost a lot of illumination by turning the focus away from ceiling. There's another low-cost option, as LED channels/diffusers are bit difficult to find here:
- Try keeping strips of grounded glass/acrylic on top of LED strip. It'll work as diffuser and mask the reflections.
Or
- Tilt the strips toward opposite walls until harsh edges disappear (dark edges as seen in pic 2). It'll also take care of the strip reflection as you can see that it's almost gone when you tilted it inwards. But now, you'll tilt it outwards.
Hmm i ll try that too soon
N let u know the results
But i guess thats gonna reduce the intensity of light over cove area
But like u said .. That way light is going to spread more on ceiling
I have tried pasting the led on vertical wall facing sideways ... But didn't worked as the SILK paint is just amplifying everything
Even the diffused light is too bright
The 3rd pic with 4 squares on ceiling has matt finish, it doesn't show the strip reflection but i get low brightness compared to SILK paint.
Also that strip has more lumens per 5m ( 1850 lumens -- wipro garnet 24W Natural White in pic 3)
And those in 1st & 2nd pic is Philips Linea 25W ( 1800 Lumens -- Warm White )
And the dark edges are not too sharp
Its looking like that because of camera's limitation

A picture would help.
Get a led light strip with built in controller with remote control. You can then control the colors and intensity of colors from the remote itself.
