RE: Inspiration required - 'cinema' lighting

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm ... not necessarily as if the local illumination above your
seating
position is too bright your eyes will adjust to that plus light will also
reflect around the room so even though you don't have a direct light path
to
the screen it can make a difference.

There's a good reason why BMW use red LEDs for their night lighting and
that
is that red doesn't screw with your night vision as much as other colours
so
I'm wondering whether you could replace a white LED in a gooseneck LED
light
with a red one would that work?
