My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

LED cove lighting question

5 years ago

I'm doing a new 400sf addition and want to use LED cove lighting in the ceiling. Since I want to hardwire it to a switch, is there anything wrong with using the cheap tape-backed LED strip lights sold for kids rooms, or is there a better quality option?
