Customer project 16 - Bathroom Coving Lighting (Continued)



As each section of coving (11 in all, including short corner pieces) was glued to the wall-ceiling junction, its harness was passed through into the attic. These were all then gathered up to meet as a single thick harness terminated in a "common end" ferrule to plug into the optical port of the light source.

The optical fibres meet at the common end.
The fibres from each section of coving all converge to meet at the common end ferrule.


Unseen dramatic lighting in the attic.
Making life exciting for the mice - glowing strands run off to the various sections of coving.


Once the sections of coving were set in place, the protruding fibres could be trimmed back to length. The fibres can be trimmed back flush with the surface, but in this case a better effect was achieved by having each fibre protrude by about 3mm. This creates a halo of reflected light on the coving behind each fibre and increases the overall lighting effect.

These lights are now permanently installed with no worries about failed bulbs or LEDs.

Speeded up for demonstration purposes, this shows the colour change effect.
The colour of the coving light changes as the colour wheel rotates.

This project uses a 100 watt halogen light source fitted with a colour wheel which rotates to change the colours over the course of a minute. It also has the option of stopping the colour wheel on a single colour to suit the mood of the evening.
