Quoted from Tlamb:I think it will provide decent indirect light but you might want something to diffuse the light or create a channel around your wall and project the light up onto the ceiling. Kind of like a cove light, it just depends what kind of look you are going for. Will they work, yes.
I have them on my wall and they aren't too bright or distracting. My buddy did put them in his basement too on top of some trim and they look nice too.
