Abstract: A curving recessed lighting system having a plurality of pivoting, connectable channel sections, an LED strip (or more), and a flexible diffuser. Each housing section includes a base having connectable first and second ends, first and second flange members extending upward and outward therefrom and cut to both allow and limit pivoting between adjacent sections, and a U-shaped channel spaced from the flange members to create parallel channels. Flexible bands are secured within the parallel channels to isolate the LED strips within the U-shaped channel, as required. The flange members form two curved surfaces and the U-shaped channel in consecutive sections align to form a curved channel between the two curved surfaces. Preferably, the base portion of each of the plurality of housing sections has a depth not greater than ? inches (0.625 inches). This allows flush placement in standard drywall without the need for notching studs.
