What is everyone using to light up behind their AT screen?

I'm in the process of changing over some things behind my screen wall, so while I'm there I'd like to add some back lighting to show off the speakers.

Those of you with AT screens, what type of lighting are you using to give a good effect behind the screen?

Small gooseneck desk lamps from Ikea. Not perfect but worked in what little space I had.

Eventually going to try LED strip lights around the screen frame. Not sure how well it will work though. If I have to go a different route, what the other guys said.

I tried rope light around the back side of the screen frame but it wasn't bright enough.

That's what I was originally going to do, I'm just not 100% sure I like that effect. I was looking for maybe less of a spotlight look?

I like that idea, but yeah, that would seem to not be nearly bright enough.

Last time I did this we used blue LED lights on track, but again, not bright enough (there is some wedge shaped acoustical foam in a nice arrangement behind the screen that you can't really see). I think LEDs have come on somewhat in the last 18 months though!

Here's what was on the baffle wall:

From the CIH Theater I helped with in Dublin, CA (NorCal).

Also DLBeck is doing something similar on his theater I have been helping him with, the Savoy .
