i'm looking for some led backligting for my entertainment stand that houses my 52" JVC DILA. i found this company at www.illuminaire.com but was wondering if anyone knows of any other (cheaper) options out there. nothing fancy, just some soft white (directional?) backlighting.

i know we have a couple electronic geniuses here that may have some alternative suggestions?

 

Do you run your home theater off a PC?

 

no i do not, i actually don't currently have a home pc any longer.

 

I run mine off a pc. Why do you ask??

 

Computers have 12 volt outputs for different things that you can use to run and control the lighting... If you have it set up that way. But you can run some small amount of lighting off the computer. A good example are those Plexi glass cases you can get for computers. You can light them too.

 

Actually, I need to place an order for some white LEDs soon (making some walkway light upgrades for my parents' current incandescent system). See my company page for some rough pricing (look in the Accent LEDs section), then let me know what you want... figure about $20-30/ft, depending upon final length. Illuminaire uses one LED per 2" section, mine use three for the same length. I'll be a bit cheaper and much brighter.
