Question about Light Fittings

I have a question for all those with cinema setups in their living rooms.

We will (hopefully) be moving to a new house in a few months which has a living room perfect for my first home cinema setup. Ive never dealt with PJs screens or any of that malarckey before but I have one question thats been bugging me.

Theres a nice light fitting in the middle of the ceiling at the moment and I know its going to be a fight to get the wife to get rid of it. Ive never seen any light fittings in any of the pictures posted.

How do those of you with ceiling/shelf mounted PJs get around this problem? Is it even a problem, is it all down to the angle at which the PJ sits?

In my current house I had a ceiling rose from which dropped this rather ghastly light thingie.

When I installed the projector it was the perfect excuse to remove said ghastly item and replace it with something which hugged the ceiling a little better like...

Looks much better and never got in the way of the light coming out of the projector

Lots of HC enthusiasts have spotlights installed.

Yeah but you know what wives are like .. Im fortunate that the place we are moving into has already in the fireplace removed to wall mount an LCD. Its taking all my time convincing her not to put one back. I think if I told her the nice light fitting has to go, Id be in trouble.

Take her round a few show houses and convince her how good it looks having recessed downlighters everywhere!!!!!

We're building a new house which is pretty much downlighters throughout, we must have over 100 going in......
