Re: LCD back Lighting

An old thread but I was in Asda today and spotted in the section that sells plugs bulbs and general leccy things something called a Multi Purpose LED Light.

It takes 3 AA batteries and the light being LED they should last for ages.

I bought one and was intending to put it on the wall behind the TV with bluetack, but the light has small magnets and the back panel of my plasma is metal so even better.

It throws out a blue/white light and looks the business.

You can't go wrong for £2.90, the batteries will probably cost more.
