I am putting a mountain feature wall in my son's new bedroom.

Starting on the right, I want to run LEDs along the topmost mountains, switch to unlit cord/wire to go around the window, and then run another set of LEDs along the topmost mountain on the left. This should give a nice sunrise effect.

Do you know of an LED kit that can do this?

Thank you!

I can work with this. Thank you!

I am only running the lights along a channel in the uppermost boards that will make the topmost mountains, so I will not need a complex path. My goal is to have a sunrise-behind-the-mountains effect.

No problem. After reading some of the other responses I should point out that the LED strips I listed are all addressable RGB or RGBW. If you don't want any color, then everything can be simplified (and cheaper) by using the 2-wire white LED strips, though I think using RGB/RGBW is way more fun and dynamic.

Just dropping this in here in case it inspires: translucent slate veneer. Real slate, in very thin sheets, designed to be lit from behind.
