Re: led moldings
First moldings. Here you can download 3D models of moldings. Other 3D model sites will most likely have some too. You can also create your own moldings using boxes and cylinders.

Fort a long time now walls support baseboards. See the modify wall dialog for the properties.

To show images here on the forum you upload them to an image host like imgur or mediafire and post the link in your forum post.

That was the easy stuff :)

Led molding makes it a lot more difficult since it includes lights. The easiest solution is to use light panels stuck to stretched boxes that you use as molding.

But working with lights is not really a beginners topic. Light doesn't show in the 3Dview, you can only see the lights when you render a photo at one of the two highest quality levels. That can take a lot of rendering before you have your lights right. You need to get some experience to closely predict the result before rendering.

First read about lights in this forum.
https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,12751 and follow the URL's in the second and third post.
Also read this: https://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,10388_offset,0

As said, it's not really a beginners topic since it requires both creating models and integrating light. Left unsaid that you might want led moldings IN the floor (flush with the surface) which is yet another problem to solve.
I suggest that you work in stages. Start with the moldings before trying to turn them into led strips.
