Traditional coffer detail with a warmer evening character.
IB-10 combines decorative modelling with indirect light for rooms that need architectural richness without relying on a single central fixture.
Design and lighting guide
Designing concealed LED light with IB-10
The profile, source position and reflecting surface must be planned together. That coordination is what turns a hidden linear source into an architectural ceiling effect.
Let the profile geometry lead
A warm reflected wash can pick up the moulded transitions gradually. The source should stay invisible so the eye reads plaster, shadow and glow rather than hardware.
Treat the strip, channel and diffuser as one system; confirm their setback and aiming with the selected components. The principle is related to architectural light coves, adapted here to the beams of a coffered or waffle ceiling.
Match the effect to the room
Consider it for dining rooms, custom homes and refined interiors with decorative pendants, woodwork or layered neutral finishes.
Control the ambient layer separately from recessed spotlights or decorative fixtures so the room can shift from everyday use to a quieter evening scene.
Plan the concealed components
Coordinate the colour temperature with the room finishes and decorative fixtures. Separate dimming for the concealed layer makes it easier to preserve the moulding detail at different light levels.
Also establish wiring routes, driver location and access, heat management and dimming compatibility before the beam details are closed and finished.
