Valuable Information about Cove Lighting

Definition of Cove Lighting
Cove lighting is a form of indirect lighting that emanates from ledges, valances, cornices, or horizontal recesses on the upper wall or in the ceiling of a room. Cove lighting is occasional called cornice lighting.
The Function of Cove Lighting
Cove lighting may be quite functional by providing most or all of the general lighting in a space or it can be purely aesthetic in nature by providing only some of the needed light for a space – sometimes in color.
The Aesthetics of Cove Lighting
Cove lighting often provides a soft, warm feel to an architectural space. Light from the cove lighting fixtures is directed upward and is distributed over the ceiling and/or the upper wall of a room. The reflected light off the ceiling usually provides very even and pleasant light throughout the room. It creates comfortable ambient light that helps to balance the space. Most people have a very positive reaction to the indirect lighting provided by cove lighting. Sometimes cove lighting can offer opportunities to be a little creative and make an aesthetic statement. This can be especially true if the cove lighting fixtures provide colored light.
The Light Sources Used In Cove Lighting
The light fixtures used for cove lighting may use incandescent, low voltage xenon, or fluorescent. These light sources can provide a good deal of light, a modest amount of light, or sometimes just a hint of light depending on the needs of the space or the desires of the lighting designer.  Incandescent, low voltage xenon, and even SOME fluorescent light fixtures can be controlled by a dimmer switch. Incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps are both capable of providing colored light if that is desirable. Fluorescent lamps use electricity very efficiently in providing a given amount of light.
Where Can Cove Lighting Be Used?
Cove lighting can be used very successfully in a great many locations: art galleries, bathrooms, bedrooms, churches, conference rooms, dining rooms, game rooms, hallways, hotel rooms, kitchens, libraries, living rooms, museums, offices, restaurants, studies, and taverns.
Where Should Cove Lighting Be Placed?
The top of the cove should be located about 10-14 inches from the ceiling and designed in such a way as to allow the light coming from the cove to “wash” as much of the ceiling as possible with light.

Customer Comments about our Cove Lighting

Xenon Low Voltage Cove Lighting

“We received the order in record time and have installed the festoon lights throughout a high rise condo that could be on the cover of Architectural Digest.   They really have added a terrific touch and thanks for the great service."

Microfluorescent T4 Light Fixtures

"The fluorescent tubes I wanted (Fluorescent T4 Lamps) were not available on most sites.  I checked about a dozen before finding and ordering them on Pegasus.  The tubes were very well packed and delivery was fast (within two business days)."

 

"We love these lights (Microfluorescent T4 Fixtures), installed 6 of various sizes in our kitchen back in 2004. They work wonderfully; and your service is always so fine. Thanks"

 

"I have looked at Lowe's, Home Depot and several specialty lighting stores for under cabinet lighting for our kitchen. Your T-4 microfluorescent system is by far the best that I have found. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my order!!!"

 

"I received a package from you today containing a couple of T4 light fixtures which I bought for a large showcase. I was quite pleased with the light produced by this product plus the promptness and low cost of shipping, so I am ordering 7 more fixtures for some other showcases. You do have a lot more information readily available than most other sources for lighting."

 

"Your company is amazing. Not only did you have the perfect lighting I was looking for
(microfluorescent), but your shipping was incredible. I ordered my lighting before leaving for work on a Tuesday morning. When I got home from work on Wednesday (yes, the next day) the item was waiting for me at home. I didn't even request special overnight shipping. You even send an informative email as each step of ordering and shipping progresses. Absolutely fantastic service!!!! Thank you very much !!!!"

 

"These T4 fixtures are the best - extremely low profile, efficient and available in numerous lengths for maximum flexibility for a variety of applications. I had problems with fixtures I purchased OVER FOUR YEARS AGO, and you demonstrated unparalleled grace and resolve in handling the situation. There is no reason to purchase anywhere else - good prices, quality products, unsurpassed service that is both friendly and prompt. Thank you!"

 

“Thanks for a great product and prompt customer service.  The kitchen looks GREAT with the Microfluorescent T4 lamps under the cabinets.”

 

"I couldn't be more pleased with the T4 Fluorescent light I just received. It's exactly as described on your site and is the perfect answer for areas that need more light where hardwiring is not an option. The illumination from such a small light is amazing and installation is a breeze. The T4 is sleek, compact, easy to install and provides a generous amount of light in a very small footprint. Many thanks to Pegasus for filling a much needed niche for consumers. I could find nothing comparable in my area and finally gave up an turned to the internet. Even more surprising was the great customer service which I found to be highly responsive and quick to answer my questions. I am now considering T4 lighting for areas in my home I thought I'd never be able to light. Thanks so much for such a wonderful product and for your exceptional customer service. I'll be back and I'm recommending Pegasus to all my friends and family."

Fluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures

"I received a replacement light, PNULS-18, from you (Pegasus) and it works just fine. I wanted to thank you for your help in getting the replacement light. Hassle free and great customer service!! Thanks again."

 

"I really like the small compact fluorescent lighting (T5 Low-Profile Fixtures). Good service when I had a fixture fail in the first year. Have purchased them since 2001. A site you can trust."

 

“In my original order of the light fixture (Fluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixture) I was reluctant to order back up bulbs, but now I have. The light fixture is light in weight with a very strong lighting atmosphere. It  turns on as quick as a conventional bulb but is dead silent , no humming what so ever. The perfect finishing touch to my custom computer desk that I have been getting together. I priced a 24-inch light fixture similar to this but with a weaker bulb and that damn annoying humming at $39.99. The price I paid for this fixture is like the old saying 'you only get what you pay for'. Completely satisfied. Thank you.”

 

"(Your site) seems well put together. Did not browse site much. Got here via a Google search for 'indirect lighting' and found something that I bought right away (Fluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures)."

 

"The three slim-line lights (Fluorescent T5 Low-Profile Light Fixtures) arrived at our front door yesterday. We opened the box with some trepidation, but were very pleasantly surprised. The lights are light weight, plug together as easily as Legos, and emit a very bright light. And they had a plug, just like you promised me. So far, no hum. We knew what we needed but we thought the product may not exist on this planet. Excuse the exaggerations, but we've lived with a couple of out-of -date humming lights for several years. And these fluorescent lights are perfect!"

LED Rope Light

“Thanks for processing my order. I thought you might like to see how I used my previous order of LED rope lights. I built a cove light in my living room to conceal surround-sound speaker wires and placed the rope lights in the cove. They provide a beautiful, cool glow to our home and make the vaulted ceiling seem even higher. The indirect light is perfect for watching TV and one can even read by the light. I'm planning to add this new order above the kitchen cabinets and along the top of a beam which separates the living room and kitchen.” - Rob Q.

 

" . . . I have already installed the rope light under my 69“ long hutch.  It looks a little dimmer than I would like, but the light is pure, clear, soft, and has an appealing bluish color to it I like.  Overall, I love the LED rope light.  This is the first time the area under the hutch has been lit from end to end without obstruction since '94 when my dad bought it.  I also love the PDF generated invoice, I wish ALL internet stores would do the same."

 

“The 3-foot LED (warm white) rope light has been installed in a defunct bathroom window that was rendered obsolete by the expansion of my new kitchen shell of greater width than the previous one. I kept the internal window outline and trim within the bathroom. I installed your light behind the window sill in the window depression. I added a 2 inch wide sill extension to hide the wiring and placed a 12 inch vase of pussywillows on the sill. The light escapes up the back white filler and contrasts the vase beautifully. Thank you for your speedy delivery service. My house is one of 8 older homes open to the public in Tecumseh, MI’s Promenade Weekend.”
