Light Fixtures Designed for Use in Cove Lighting Applications
View All Cove Lighting ProductsCove lighting is a type of indirect lighting that is installed in a recessed manner, usually in the upper parts of walls, ceilings, or ledges.
The light is directed upwards or towards the ceiling, creating a soft, diffused glow that enhances the architectural features of a space without the harshness of direct lighting. Cove lighting is widely used in both residential and commercial interiors for its aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
Character and ambience with cove lighting fixtures
Because the light source is hidden from view, this prevents glare and creates a smooth, ambient light. Cove lighting fixtures are often dimmable and come in various color temperatures, which allows for flexibility in setting the mood. Cove lighting emphasizes architectural details like tray ceilings, crown molding, or curved ceilings, giving depth and character to spaces and is often used in combination with other types of lighting (e.g., task lighting, accent lighting) to create a layered lighting effect that adds depth and interest to a room.
