So I'm thinking of mounting a LED strip as the primary light source for my living room and would like some advice if anyone happens to have done the same.
My plan is to mount the strip above my windows and curtains facing upwards toward the ceiling. The thing I quite can't decide on is if I should go for straight upward facing or diagonally 45 degree facing ones?
Straight upward facing:
45 degree angle:
I have a board like this above my windows except it stretches 3.20 meters above three french balconies. I want to mount the strip on (the red line). The light will illuminate inward to the living room. The 45 degree one would reach further I guess but I'm worried the light might catch too much in the eyes?
Anyone done this? If yes, pictures would be helpful to see just how far in the 45 degree one reaches. Any other tips regarding this?
