Publication number: 20180209601Abstract: A lighting assembly provides cove lighting without requiring construction of a cove to support or conceal the assembly. A housing can be disposed at a gap in a ceiling or wall and supported by structural framing at the ceiling or wall. The front of the housing can be mudded and painted to blend in with the ceiling or wall at which it is disposed so that it conceals itself. An assembly can comprise a housing and an illumination component removably coupled thereto. Wiring for the illumination component can be accommodated at a wireway of the channel. A mounting trough at the housing enables mounting of the housing at the framing without penetration of the channel. A molding base can be attached to the housing at the trough, and crown molding attached to the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2017Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: David E.
