Cove lighting using pearl white rope light with a remote splice box for the wires.

Hi, I am planning on installing rope lighting behind crown molding and want it attach it to a standard dimmer. I am concerned about one of the wiring details, specifically how to make the connection from the rope light to the wiring for the dimmer. Any wire splicing needs to be in a box, but I'm not sure how to best transition the external wiring to the hard wiring in the wall. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hiding the junction box or receptacle is always a challenge when using ROPE LIGHTS for cove lighting. If you have attic space above or adjacent to the room, you can use a 1/2" conduit from the cove to a remote junction box to make the splices for the rope lights. You will have to cut off the male cap and splice the wires on the light rope with wire nuts. If you don''t have an attic, you can use the same conduit method to a junction box in the wall. Hide the box behind a picture or mirror. Of course, you can always splice the rope light wires in the cove provided you have the room. FYI - The pearl white rope light is the best product for cove lighting. Hope that helps!
