Lighting Help

[jeegnesh]

I am getting some work done in a loft room, this is a TV room with a home cinema setup, I want to create some ambient lighting, I don't think I can do aything on the TV wall, as its a stud wall and I am having to use a cantilever arm for the TV so it will be moved around.

Around the side and behind me however there is the eaves space which is created with a shelf on the top which overhangs a little, I was thinking of putting lighting under the overhang and ensure it concealed so you just see the glow when its on.

1 - Any ideas on lighting, don't have to do the above, its the only thing I came up with, open to ideas, but don't want to spend too much and mains powered is preferred right now.

2 - Where can I buy this kind of lighting to go underneath at a good price? LED strips seems kind of expensive, but considering I plan to hid the lighting I figure it doesn't matter what I get, but must be small so I can conceal it.

Any help mos appreciated

Ok so I say rope lights is pretty cheap, would they give off enough ambient light? Is that what people use?

I would look at cabinet lights. Normally they house a halogen lamp, but it is possible to buy ones with compact fluorescent or LED lamps inside.

Went for the Apollo lighting kit from neon lights seems the busiess plus it will work with the harmony.
