Re: Fw: Inspiration required - 'cinema' lighting

[Rob Iles <rob.iles@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if it's entirely suitable / aesthetically pleasing - but have
you
considered "gaming PC being" - strip(s) of cold cathode (IIRC)
lighting
intended for highlighting pimped-out gaming PC's? (not my style, I must
add!
But possibly suitable if used sparingly.)

On a similar theme, Halfords (last time I visited) had a huge range of
lighting accessories from under-car to interior trim lights, all at
reasonable prices -- perhaps your BMW-esque requirements could be filled
here!

Both options are 12V, so easily manageable.

Just a thought,

R.
