ᐅ Creating Indirect Lighting in a New Construction Yourself

Not all remain cool.

Very few stay reliably cool. Good point!

So, it can be concluded that indirect light with LED strips is only possible using baseboards under the ceiling or when the entire inner ceiling is suspended with a gap on the outside for the LED strips.

There are certainly more ideas to get creative. Try taking inspiration from interior design.

Otherwise, floor lamps, uplighters, etc., would have to be used?

Look at lighting manufacturers that focus heavily on innovation and design. There are many more options. Behind a sofa, for example, we create either indirect or direct light using a "Stereo" from less-n-more (our favorite lighting manufacturer), elsewhere a "Jules" or a "YLUX," the latter two battery-powered and therefore very versatile. More inspirations: Tobias Grau Flying pendant light (50/50 direct and indirect), Artemide Surf (indirect lighting suspended from the ceiling), Occhio Sento (switchable light direction up, down, or both), or Lumencenter Foliage (diffuser and indirect light combined)...

And keep in mind that indirect lighting requires significantly more lumens than direct lighting (at the light source).

Therefore, it’s better to slightly oversize the lighting and use an adjustable driver. As non-experts, we often lack the ability to visualize lumens in terms of room lighting.

Living height of 2.35 meters (7 ft 8 in) in a new build?! Are you sure the ceilings are not dropped? Or is this about a basement room?
