I have also seen those rope lights that you can get. Not sure how
bright they are but the whole thing is only really for effect anyway.
Main lighting will be by dimmable halogen spots.


Lighting which changes colour temperature when dimmed - like tungsten -
really isn't a good idea in a TV viewing room for best results. Background
lighting should be the same colour temperature as the TV itself.
Otherwise, the eye tends to adapt to the overall 'colour' of the room.
This may not matter to you, of course. But you'd be better off arranging
the switching so you leave a few low wattage spots on full as background
lighting.
