Just added these 2 led signs to the entrance to my gr. They don't make long ones so I took them apart and screwed the aluminum tops, that hold leds and acrylic to a 1x2 board and screwed the board above the door. These from a seller from China work really good because the power cable plugs into the light so I could run it through a wall and then plug it into the light, completly hiding the wire. This company also diamond cuts the edges of the acrylic also which makes them look super. The picture does not do it justice.

Nice Paul. Could you hook us up with the outfit you bought them from?
Quoted from Ed_in_Texas:My game room is in what should be the formal dining room in most homes. When we built the house, we moved the main wall back 3' to make the room a little bigger (and our master closet on the opposite side a little smaller). We added additional outlets on all the walls and one plug on each outlet is wired to a single switch. We can turn everything on/off with a single switch. There is room for 8 pins or 7 pins with 2 vids or slots (which is the current configuration). The walls are decorated with pictures, signs, backglasses, etc. Here is a quick video I took last night.

Lol, that's pretty funny. I can imagine being so focused on the Multiball and then glancing up to Vader in your face.

Jaw-droppingly cool!
Quoted from MustangPaul:Very nice. 2X4ft? And I see that it's still clinging to the ceiling.
I think it's 48" x 33". Gravity and the vaulted ceiling were really working against me, so I mounted it to 1/8" thick pressboard, and then installed the whole board to the ceiling.
Is it reflective at all, I've got the game and that would look great hung over the whole game if it doesn't reflect the light from the game.

I have the same light bought from same place in China, I hate the wire to this thing and have to run an extension cord as the cord cant reach the standard outlet to plug in. My sign doesn't have the plug in in the sign, its just a wire into it, no quick disconnect, etc. Let me know how you did it. you can just pm me.

Sounds not quite the same then, he stated it plugs into his light...

I have one of those that plugs directly into the sign also but it's from a dif. seller and not nearly as nice, the light color is a washed out blue and the 3 edges of the acrylic are not polished which looks bad. The seller I listed has the nice ones that I show in the picture.

Hey den, could you give me insight on how you did your border around the room with the purple lighting? I'm working on my gameroom and like what you've done there.
Sure, Its just a color changing LED strip with the usual remote control. There are 3 lengths joined together. A black aluminium "L" guide is secured to the wood edge and LED placed in that. Stops you seeing the LED light directly, on the projected color. I'll take a photo of it more closely if you need one.
Sure! That'd be awesome of you. I'm sure there are others interested in seeing how it was done as well.

You can get these LED strips from Zitrades off Amazon.com. They run off a 12VDC power supply. About 32 bucks I believe for a 16.4ft section, has 3M double sided tape. Looks pretty badass at a small cost! They even have sound activated modules that you can interface with systems to pulse to the beat.
This is going to be an awesome project! As soon as I get back from my cruise, I will start the process. Currently, there is no molding around my gameroom, so I will kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I will post photos upon completion. Thank you for sharing, dendoc!
Well I have a LAH in my collection. So there's one more for ya. 
Quoted from davjoszie:is it just me or does almost every collection have a LAH or JP?
Or both! (Like me)
Quoted from Skypilot:Can't cram in another one.
Come on! Do you live in Cantfield, or Canfield? I see a couch in the way...
Quoted from Apollyon:I see a bunch of room beside the CV...
It's deceiving ,that's the bottom landing of the stairs. No worries ,I'm remodeling another section of my basement. 
Quoted from davjoszie:is it just me or does almost every collection have a LAH or JP?
I just got LAH, so now I'm covered on both. Will be putting Predator between them so I've got 2 Arnold pins and 2 jungle pins, all with the DE-style art.
I'm working on repainting my second pin room. So far I've got 2 coats of bright white primer/paint on the walls and you can still see the dark green. Ugh. Currently looking for the best way to hook up some black/UV lights and get some glow in the dark/UV paint that can't really be seen on the white but shows up 'Predator blood green' when the main lights are off. Does anyone else have UV paint on the walls and/or can recommend any brands?

Hahahahaha.

Isn't that a dream collection. Well done. Got to add WOZ into the mix now (no controversy please, just for contrast to all the Williams/Bally and Stern)
