- How to make a tile lighted LED Niche in a shower. These LED lights can be used as accent lights or night lights. I like to pair them with a Lutron DIVA low voltage dimmer in order to get a wide range of lighting capabilities. Join us as the TILEcoach Team installs a Schluter DECO-SG Profile with a LED strip light, converted to lowcolatage using a magnetic dimmable driver/transformer. Kerdi waterproofing system using the Kerdi-Niche. An entertaining, detailed, instructional and educational video.

*VERY CREATIVE!* This idea is great, I will definitely try it out on my next shower build.
Absolutely....I have another shower coming up in 2 weeks, I know she'll love this added feature.
StarrTile that would look great on one of your 2 ft niches!
@@TileCoach.. I am about to start on a project as well. would you be able to provide me with your supplier's info for the LED lights???
Can you send me the exact parts as well?
@Isaac Ostrom good stuff . what your email ? Could i have the parts numbers too.
I was looking to see if anyone had done this in just this type of application and your video was exactly what I was looking for!! That is a really great application done in an easy and aesthetically pleasing way. Great vid production as well! No filler all killer advice!
Amazing. Thanks for taking spending your time and money on the materials to do these mock ups.
The video was great but it would have been AWESOME if you would have linked all of the materials.
Great idea and awesome trick with the profile encapsulating the LED light strip 👍
I won’t lie. I am damn impressed! Love the videos dude!👍🏼
Great Video. Thank you for instructions for all us Installers, Designers, and DIYers!
As a bathroom remodeled Ive been considering making this my new norm, or at least on the high dollar jobs. No excuse to why I haven't yet; simple, cost effective, and stunning results. Beautiful job man!
Where'd you pick up the driver?
Brilliant idea. I'm definitely going to use this idea in my bathroom remodels. Thank you for sharing.
YES, KICK IT UP A NOTCH! Perfect, classy addition to one of our bathrooms, thanks!
That’s an awesome way of doing it. My wife and I own a bathroom remodel business in NH, she does the design and I do the work. We always look for ways to separate ourselves from everyone else. Seeing you have a successful bathroom remodel business gives us hope for growth. The light in the niche is popular in Europe but not so much here. I would love to know about how to price something like this out for my clits. Does not seam like the components are too expensive, but the work works sick!
You've grown.. I get all your vids on my feeds, most are great.
Great idea, product, and even better instructions. I can't wait to start doing these for my customers!
This honestly an awesome idea. I’m thanks for this I’m going to do it in my next shower build
I know it seems simple and easy to do when you explain thoroughly but you probably had to experienced some hits and misses before you perfected it. I really really appreciated your video and your willingness to share your knowledge. Keep up the good work and God bless.
That's awesome I never done it that way. Very clever!!! I do this same thing with crown molding in bedrooms and spaces people want an Ambien lighting.
Just a side note, make sure the wire you use is CL rated for the in-wall installations.
Very cool! I'm going to try this in our latest spec home. Thanks for the great ideas!
Loved Issac's idea about LED in shower niche. Next week begins my remodeling our shower from plastic/fiberglass to 600mm x 600mm Calcutta porcelain, just unloaded 24 tiles over 350 lbs from wood skid in front of garage and moved to bathroom area.
I purchased from Creative Lighting Solutions an LED flex strip using IP68 LEDSs-RGB . IP68 are completely water proof and RGB means lights can be controlled to be red, green or blue. This strip will go into notch as you did in the video, also I purchased WiFi switch and inverter AC 120 to 12 volt dc. I am now trying to find a 12 volt LED RGB IP68 shower ceiling light 3-4 inch diameter. any readers have suggestions.
Brilliant idea!! I love custom ideas. Thank you for that!!
I like how if the strip fails in the future you can pull it out and re-solder a new piece.
Thank you.
Just seeing your Video now thanks for showing us how you installed the lights I'm adding this to my Mom's bathroom when I remodel it soon...
Thank you from Colorado
Amazing work. Really thankful for what you are doing for our industry! Blessing and Favor over you and you company.
absolutely next level . i love it.
Genius bro on using the Schlüter to house the lighting!!
Most DIY lighting stuff that I have seen for permanent fixture applications such as this use blocks of polished acrylic glued/sealed in place, with the led strip hidden on the other side. The acrylic diffuses the light so it all looks smooth, and also makes it so that the structure can stay in-tact while the led’s can later be replaced if needed. So, in this example, instead of running the led strip through the side of the niche, you would instead put like a 1”x1”x8” polished acrylic block up into the top back of the niche so that the top of the block is sticking up through the niche. You’d then glue/seal it in place. Then you would would stick the led strip to the top of the block so that it is shining down through the block and into the niche. Preferably, there would be an access panel on the other side of the wall to change out the led’s if the ever burn out. Then you would have a permanent and sealed structure in the shower itself, with no electrical components tied to it, while also having it both lighted and accessible for maintenance. The same methodology could be use for other cases as well, such as an acrylic shelf within the niche with the acrylic sticking through the sides of the niche into the wall and the led’s being on both sides shining into the shelf so it has a soft lighted glow, in a lighted acrylic chair rail, etc. Try RUclips’ing “led acrylic” or something like that for ideas. There’s also fiber optics that some very high end contractors use, with thick fiber optic cords that split into like a hundred that they then place into concrete work, with a thing in the attic that shines light into it through rotating diffuser lenses, so that it looks like stars are twinkling in the concrete when it’s turned on. I watch too much RUclips lol
So the acylic block pentrate through the shower niche and you just caulk all around it to make it waterproof?
Exactly what I was looking for. I was going to buy the waterproof LED light bars but getting the correct size was an issue. This install is clean looking and you don't lose any height.
This video is awesome! Such a simple system for something i have been wanting to do for a long time!
Hello. Thank you for the video. It looks so good. My wife and I have a bathroom remodel business in NH and love to try different things with our builds. Can you show me how to trimmed out your niche? I hate the bullnose, and Schluter is pain in the a$$ to get right. Appreciate it. Misha.
That my friend is really cool, I bet I know a good handful of folks that would love this. Starting with my daughter.
Bright idea 😎 (pun intended) . Looks very nice. I’m gonna do it on the next job! Thanks man!
This is great! I will show to my contractor. He was very reluctant to do this, so I believe this will help.
Been looking for this! Great creativity with the Schluter profile.
That's AWESOME!!!
This looks great only thing you could add is a Lexan diffuser, so you don’t see see the LED dots.
Beautiful idea!
Thanks for taking the time and showings us new instalar cool tips like this
Great install - thanks!
Thank you very much ,as I was going to drill three small holes and install three single 5mm leds in a 26” long niche top, but luckily I seen your idea in time .
So instead , now I’m going with a tri coloured led strip with an rf remote so I can change the brightness and colour . And yes the electronics are in the basement under the bathroom , not located in an area I can’t get access too.
Using that profile is a fantastic idea imo
Amazing idea. Thanks so much, have exact same setup
Good idea Isaac! I'm gonna do this in my bath!
Awesome vid. Im going to try that technique. been watching some of your vids lately and think its time to subscribe. Also, those lutron diva mag dimmers are awesome, i have like 10 in my home.
I retro fitted a kitchen fluorescent light with schlutter backed led strips as a heat sink. Good stuff. Get a good supply to feed it.
Great job. Nice instruction and sweet idea. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing wonderful stuff.
So helpful!! Thank you!
Thanks for such a great detailed video!!
Great video, answers a lot of questions. Thanks.
This is perfect what i'm looking for
Man what a great awesome thing feature to add that will definitely put you aside from the competition great video !
Looks awesome man! Great job. God bless.
I recognize the strip LED from Ecolocity in Vegas. Great product. Great idea
That particular niche would need a shelf and a clear glass shelf so the light shines thru.
It’s a generic strip made by hundreds of companies
Thanks for all your hard work it's paying of we love it I do tile and I've gotten much better because of what you do on this chanel
Gracias por la ayuda!! Estoy haciendo uno en mi baño y tu video es de gran ayuda. Saludos desde Buenos Aires!
Very cool. Well done!
Awesome thanks for sharing!
That's a great idea. 👍👍👍
I love it, thanks for sharing.
Dude your awesome. I’m an electrician and am remodeling our bathrooms now. I’ve come across the lighted niche only on pintrest from my wife getting ideas and I didn’t really know how i was going to do it. My first thought was to get a track with a lense from WAC lighting and use the led strip in that but the whole WEDI thing is pretty awesome and I will do that
Hi Andrew . From where are you planning to buy the parts ? Thanks
That's really cool.
Intriguing stuff, never seen some of the stuff I’ve seen on your channel before
Awesome Idea. Although I never needed a light to find my soap in the shower before. I am going to do this in the linen closet behind the door jam trim to find my soap in on the closet shelving.
Nice idea... I adore LED lights, but hadn't considered them in showers before.... until now : )
Awesome video, I just bought all of the parts to do this.
I'm hoping to do this too, can you share links to the materials you bought?
I never thought of using the shluter profile , great idea . In my case I was going to install 3 separate - 5mm leds , mainly as a night light , but this idea is tempting also.
Seeing as I could use RBG and a controller to choose the colour and brightness , I think I’m going with your idea .
The problem with using RBG is that you need more wires inside the wall, and more soldering on the strip itself. The solder points and the strip are the weakest point so when they fail, it will be difficult to replace teh LED strip. Using non coloured LEDs simplifies this as there are only two solder points and less likely to fail.
@@YannisFyssas For rgb you only need a 4 pack of tiny gauge wire. Its not like you are installing another full run of 12-2 romex.
@@YannisFyssas you also dont need to solder. They make water tight connectors for this purpose, they snap into place like some other connectors used for romex. just smaller. Then its not a permanent connection, and if you need to change it out its easy peasy.
Amazon sells a channel that is the same as the Schluter but without the tile/grout part. They also sell diffusers so you dont see the hot spots on the wall or whatever you are installing them with. RUclips "DIY RGB diffuser" and youll find what im talking about. The tile stuff s great for this purpose but If you wanted to do something you arent using grout with, say a ceiling line accent, the amazon channels can be fixed with a screw under the rgb strip and diffuser so as not to be see.
Nice touch.
Good stuff.
awesome idea great job i'am a newbie with all thing s tile, i have built a 48 x 60 box using 2 x 6's, then a plywood bottom made a center drain i just have to try floating a mock up shower pan you have helped tremendously, also i have chosen to use laticrete hydroban membrane ect.....
you da man Isaac
Nice work!
Thanks for sharing
Very cool brother!!!!!!!! Keep up with the videos.
Awesome!
Love it
Very unique idea man!
For anyone who has done this, do you have an opinion on whether it is better to mount the LEDs on the back of the niche or the middle. Just wondering about shadows when the light hits objects like shampoo bottles and such.
Very cool
Is there any reason why you didn’t use LED light connectors? Also, the width of the deco profile is what? It looks like a 1/2 inch but the led lights are usually 8mm so I think maybe you can use 3/8 which is 9.5 mm, do you need the extra space or does it work better with a snug fit? Thanks
Nice detail. I would also add a heat shrink tube over the connection for extra peace of mind. Easy way to add a little more profit.
Dope!
Is that SG 110 a 1/2" or 9/16" width on the channel?
Thanx for this video its really helpful
Hey appreciate the share
Thanks for the video I want a blue led light in mine
GENIUS
You are the best
Where did you find that led light in your video and where did you get the zurik thank you
Nice job ostrom 👍
Thank You.
Thanks for your ideal.
Awesome video.
Thanks brother very helpfull
Hey! What's the wattage on the LED strip? I have an option of a 4W or 11W LED strip for a 30x60x21 niche, not sure what wattage is enough to get a decent ambient lightning.
this loooks great, im building a shower in my house right now and im doing the same thing, 6 foot niche, can you send me the link for the parts you used? ideally i would like an rgbw strip thats dimmable since it would be powered from a dimmer switch for the shower. thanks
Thanks for all the videos!! I’m definitely going to step my game up with doing this for my next customer when I do their shower. Keep up the great work!! -Brian, owner of Fixed By Firemen
Great video
I used fiber optic setup in a solid slab shower. It has zero power at the light source. The light box is located in a closet. Added touch plates using antique brass struncion embedded in wall. It’s pretty trick. You can use different lighting modes, one syncs to any music via dmx technology. It just “ hears” any musical beat and pulses and changes colors. Or it can just be warm light, or any color.
I would like to see you to do a video with one of those cool grout machines.
Thank you
It's called Tinning the connections. 👍
i've got a dark shower to tile, but this will punch it up! i'll put the transformer in the furnace space.
