Is it supposed to make your screen like this?:I was just in Costco a few days ago, and they've got LED bar kits -- six or them, I think, about 9 inches long. They're RGB multi-colored and intended to be attached to your AV equipment --backlight your flatscreen or something like that. They're like this item, but cheaper and more sticks included.

Backlighting for Home Theater applications is to reduce eye strain from bright screens:

Yeah, but not automatic. You pick a color and stick with it. Or I suppose you could have it cycle. Wouldn't that just make you want to blow chunks...Originally Posted by Ascinder
As for the utility of TV lighting? Naw. I don't buy it. It was silly in the 50s, and it's still silly now.

One of those light bars would actually be quite cool in the cargo area of the VX....hmmmm.

I get the impression that you won't really be interested until they come out with black LEDs...

Scientifically, I do not think it is possible, as darkness is the lack of all light, and what our eyes perceive as light and color, is nothing more than refracted light.has anyone ever wondered about a dark light?... a light that emits dark..... do i sound like a fool lol

That said, I think a black hole could be considered a "dark light".

I thought I saw a 'dark light' once. It ended up just being Bart driving by in his uber-ebony VX.
Piers Anthony used a dark light in one of his Xanth books (can't remember which one).

bart check out the led bar section of www.autolumination.com
they have some 48" led bars i was looking at.. my dome light does a good job with the cargo area at this point with 36(-3 that are out) LEDs.. but i measured it should wrap from the top seam between the two rear panels, around the back and just to the other first seam on the other side

"Yup. Still, I didn't mean to start ragging on you. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. "
No worry. I don't get 'bent' too easy.
I put the LED bulbs in the post light (3) on the back porch. My wife asked me to turn it on & I replied it IS on.

Apropos to this discussion, I just saw a video on CNet about a new light bulb called Luxim. These little bulbs about the size of a Tic-Tac are very efficient, and amazingly bright.
The video is here: http://www.news.com/1606-2-6234653.html

I just picked up some LED bulbs at WalMart for only $5 each. They are replacement bulbs for the outdoor lantern or indoor chandelier type. They only use 1.5W, while they claim to be equivalent to 40W in light output, though they appear dimmer to me (there is no lumens rating on the package). They are also much bluer than incandescent bulbs. Still for the price, they should pay for themselves very quickly in energy savings. The life rating of the LEDs is 30,000 hours.
