Have been looking at getting something like this coving to use at opposite ends of our 3m x 5m living room. Having it sit 6-8" or so down from the ceiling. However I don't know how how bright for the LED strip to be in order for us to have the light as useful ambient light rather than just decorative.
I have a cheap strip light that I bought for under our kitchen cabinets (2.4 WPM) and can see that clearly would be underpowered.
Would I be looking at 10+ Watts per meter or more. I know it's difficult to say for my specific situation but maybe someone else has done something similar?

Cheers
 
Thank you Havana, that is of great assistance!
I could do it a tad lower and get a style that does allow the light to flood the ceiling better. Hadn't even thought of the surface of the ceiling being picked up.
Plenty of food for thought there.

Cheers
