I completely agree with OMEGA. You'll want to get within that range of temp. to make sure your bedroom stays warm and welcoming. The best thing about using LEDs for cove lighting is they last for years (because, let's be honest, who wants to climb back up to the cove area to replace those lights??) and are very energy efficient so you can leave them on for long periods of time. You'll also want to try to stay away from rope lighting. We've had quite a few customers who have had issues with even light distribution when using rope lights and have been quite happy switching to LED strips!
