Ambient Light source

I never used the DVE disc, but one night when I was using the computer in the dark my eyes were straining, and i got an idea. I put a small desk lamp atop the case and what do ya know...no more eye strain.

I think it's a matter of you're eyes trying to adjust to a bright light and total dark at the same time...obviously it can't be done.

A couple 25 watt lights on the front wall will do, I think...plus it looks cool.

6500k fluorescent light is correct. I think mine is something like 18 watts, which is actually pretty bright.

When I first installed the light, it seemed too bright, because it was bouncing off the wall which was white. After a while I got a crazy idea to try, which turned out awsome. I got a long drape rod and 2 sections of 84" long, light blue drapes. I hung it all up behind my widescreen tv so it looked like a movie theater curtain, even with the curves in the curtain, or pleats I think they're called. Now, at night when I turn on the 6500k fluorescent backlight, the curtain absorbs some of the light and reflects some as background light. My background drape invention looks kind of creepy / cool too.

I got my fluorescent light strip at Home Depot also, but they didn't have the 6500k bulbs either. I found the bulb at a Menards (like Home Depot, but I think they're only in Wisconsin). The bulbs are out there, you'll just have to look around. Use the phone book and call all the store you can find, maybe a lighting store will have it. Or, order one off the net, but be sure it's the same size as the one that came in your light strip.
