Nice lights...  I think you have some tidying up to do at the last pic or it will be covered with something..

Thanks audiojunkie, the open section will be covered with a black grille which is well overdue & the cables will be tidied up before the grille is fitted. Actually the lighting looks better in real life than in the photos I will have to decide whether it's the camera or my eyes telling lies   :-\ :)

LED rope lights now up & running, cabling still to be tidied up.

Front with soffit lights on. Apologies for the unsteady hand - flash off.

Your probably right Nelson, I have noticed that the shots I took with the flash do not show the LED lighting.

But the color combination on the soffit lights are superb! Are those multiple rope lights or single with changing hues?

I thought the colour was quite good as well, turned out better than I expected. There are 4 x 5 M rope lights each one has 6 colours, I have them set to blue at the moment. They can be set to rotate the colours, flash the same colour or steady. The colour combination is due to the reflection off the ceiling (black) & vertical section of soffit bulkhead (red).

Wow! I should get one of those in the near future! Was it a local purchase?

Hi Nelson, got the LED lights in Wilcon Depot. There must be a branch close to you, just checked 22 branches in Luzon.

Ok will do. Does it automatically change colors? I plan to use it as a mood light.

There is a supplied remote to step through different modes & one of them does automatically rotate the colours.

So there will be a new 5 seater cinema soon to open in Cebu exclusive for pinoydvd members. Woohoo!

"That's the way to do it!"

Maybe you should write a book "Home Theater Done Right"

Hi Doc, no 6 seater + the floor space. If I've got it right any book would be "How lucky was I"   :)

Ah ok a 6 seater. So at least you have a place to sit when I bring 4 of my friends there.

Have you done this setup before in UK? Or is it easier to do it here in PI because of the cheaper labor costs and materials? Either way dreams come true in the Philippines.

Have no fear Doc I will always have somewhere to sit  ;D ;D ;D

In the UK it's normal to buy a ready built house new or pre owned. To build as I am doing now would be cost prohibitive so as you say much cheaper labour costs & materials. Yes my dream has come true in more ways than one   ;D >:D ;D >:D ;D
