Lighting a cinema room

[grahamboyd]

Hi,

Process of designing a cinema room. Going to have a projector screen and below it two cubes with all the electonics such as amp blu ray player stored in them. For effect when not using I was thinking in installing blue Led rights in the skirting boards behind to create an effect? Was thinking on 10 LED lights at 1.2W each - thats 12W in total don't know how bright that would be - anyone attemped this and websites which have lighting - ideally would like lights that change colour but thats not been easy to find.

Thanks

Check out Philips Hue. They also have an LED strip which you can cut to your required size.

If you have any slides you could hang something like this on the wall for decoration.

You could get a rope light for10 or 20 quid.

You can then build a pelmet (facing down) that sits a couple of inches off the floor.

Fit the rope light first then fit the pelmet to give you a good diffused light that bounces off the floor.

I find rope lights look ugly if you can see them, as long as they're not visible they give off uniform light.

You could be really posh and get a remote controlled socket and control it from your setee.
