Looking for suggestion on what kind of strip to get to go around this ceiling that would be suitable for light sensitive eyes
So we just had a converted attic remodelled with plaster and new insulation and it will be used as a bedroom for myself. ( the room still needs to be thoroughly cleaned, painted and have a carpet put in )
The main light in the room sucks though, same as the one in my current room, so I have been using a string of Christmas lights as an alternative for it in there, as they honestly light the room up 100x better than the current lights, but I can't really do the same for the new room as the ceiling is quite low ( like 3/4inches from the top of my head, whereas in the current room theres at least 2-3ft )
So I would love to line the edges of the ceiling with some form of LED strips, but I have bought very short strips to try out and I have the same issue with them all, the glare effect from each LED affecting my eyes.
I have light sensitive eyes, usually it's worse with natural light but for some reason LEDs seem to have the same effect.
So I am wondering if there are LED strips that come with semi-transparent covers or a coating that might mitigate that effect?
Or even if anyone else had a similar issue and found a workaround or a DIY solution.
The only one I have found so far is the Govee COB Strip Light Pro ( will link at the end ), but from what I have read about the difference between LED and COB, the COBs are far brighter as they have more densely packed LEDs in them ( if I understood that correctly anyway ) so I would just worry that the coating on it wouldn't mitigate the glare effect as much.
