Hi Guys,

I am now getting ready to convert a spare room into a home cinema and was thinking of setting these lights in the floor.

Has anyone else used these and if they have are they alright or would you recommend some different ones?

Adrenochrome.

Are they meant to be used on a floor if not the only concerns that i would have is the strength of the glass and the temperature.
As they are leds then i imagine they will run quite cool, as you probably know halogens get very hot as in red hot.

They are meant for the floor so there shouldn't be any concerns re strength although i am a bit of a porker
