television backlight

[admin_exported]

i was thinking of putting a dimmable light behind my TV to add a bit of ambience and make watcheing at night less of an i sore. and was wondering if anyone has done the same. and what they use to do so

Indeed I have (though not dimmable). This thread has the details of mine, plus suggestions from others.

I use these

Blu tack to the back of my TV, two along the top and one at each side (centre speaker directly underneath) pointing back at the white wall behind. Works great in reducing eye-strain and I think it draws you into the screen a lot more too. However My tv is wall mounted. not too sure they would work if you tv was too far away from the back wall. I also noticed Ikea are recommending them for this now. I'm convinced I invented using them for that purpose, where's my cut???

I use a very similar product as the ones from Ikea (although it does not change colour...)
