Commercial indirect wifi-controlled lighting system that I know are very expensive, and at the same time limited: If you want to to use it as the main light source - and not just a deco-effect, you need to direct the light into the room and mount our high-power LED strips at the right angle for your ceiling structure “voute". 

I built my own system and mounted the LED strip on construction grade aluminium profiles for cooling and positioning. But all angles I could find for profile or LED mounting applications were at 45 degree - and I wanted a steeper angle, sending the light more along the ceiling and into the room, therefore distributing the light better. So I designed these little corner clippers that can simply be glued into your structure with fill-paste or silicone. Here the design features:

  • It snaps 20x2mm correction aluminium profiles into place, and by pushing the bottom leaver manually, they can be released again.
  • By holding an aluminium profile first, it is very easy to apply the LED light strip, and the high power LEDs get cooled effectively by the profile, ensuring a long lifetime.
  • You can print 84+ holders easily on one print bed and obtain good adhesion due to the built-in brim only at easy to remove places of the model. (War of the clones?)
  • The far corner is cut - so if the edge of your structure is not 100% perfect, the edges can still be glued into their correct place.
  • You can modify the light emission angles and adjust it to your own light voute dimensions using my open source Onshape design: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f605d5d03272e684636e7805/w/de4a7f2da25455fabda86e56/e/5d16109ac7dff64611340643?renderMode=0&uiState=64b6b9633e7da02f586c1f22
