    Quoted from MT45:

    Baseboard works great if you either don’t mind seeing the LEDs or provide shielding (can get pricey). Baseboard install gives a nice, indirect, color wash to the walls
    Top of wall works great because it removes the LED light from direct view and also allows the entire “band” to be visible if you so desire.
    I chose top of wall. I’m about 5” down from ceiling. LEDs sit in a 3” MDF molding I routed using a 1/2” rabbet bit. Dirt cheap mounting method as I just ripped 4x8’ sheets of MDF down to 3” and made nearly 200’ of molding for under $100.
