Backlighting

Does anyone know where I can get some 'mood' backlighting that reacts to whats on the pannell??

Or if not just some funky backlights.

The only things i can think of are led lights that are designed to change colour. These can be fitted into the floor or ceiling or as uplighters. Use google images(mood lighting led lights)

Get some Philips with ambilight. That's exactly what you are asking.

Ill give the phillips one a look in. where would they be situated? uplight or behind panel?

reson being, my pw7 is situated on a wall the same width between two windows, therefore sides would not really make much difference.

Where can I get the phillips ones from? any links?

The lights aren't seen when you are facing the set: they're behind, one on each side, disposed vertically (i.e. the long edge of the lamp is on vertical).

If you don't want lights on sides, then forget the ambiligth. Link to this ambilight thing: http://www.flattv.philips.com/index...._id=2&page=pg3

could I put them horizontal?

No... the ambilight lamps are not movable.

So, you will need some devices that connects to an in/out scart, process the video, and drives multicolor lamps which you'll place below and above your set... difficult but not impossible.

Thanx guys appreciate it.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll send some pics when Im done

i had probs at first but worked it out in the end you click on manage attachments and browse ie. "my pictures" and upload a pic you might have to resize them.

[pioneerman]

what have you used for this and can you tell me where to get them from and how much, looks cool.

[w3dal]

Looks cool doesnt it.

There from Habitat and there called "Lighting Chain" "Pill" type.

Supposed to last for 20,000 hours.

They do them in a few other colours aswell. I have to admit though my Girlfriend bought them for me.
