I have 2 24 inch bars one each side & 2 15 inch bars on top ! This is the back of the tv & how they are put on !

This is what they look like when on from the front

Your going to need two pack's of 4 if you want to do the towers. I have a the Sony 55" SXRD and I needed 6 total so that it gave it a nice glow that looks uniform. 9 out 10 pic's I see on TV's posted here look like the light is coming from exactly the spot the lights are located, where as mine looks like it was built into the TV. Also running the wire's from the TV to the towers will get messy aesthetically. I happened to buy one pack only and was able to grab a couple of the demo strip's that were lying on the floor and nobody seam to have any need for

. I can post a pic of mine tonight if you like both front and back and you can see for yourself. If you want to put a light under the sub I recommend the round one's ikea sells, that can also be used for behind bookshelf speaker's.

This is exactly my point. Although it looks very nice have he used one more strip across the top it would have taken the light basically all the way to the edge of each top L/R corner and the glow would have made a nice turn around the top corner edge's but in the case it look like the light took a shortcut underneath if you will. Now I do realize that it looks better in person than on the picture's but trust me an extra strip makes it look better. I do have a Sony SXRD that is not as close to the wall as an LCD and Plasma so that helps be out a ton.

Nice to hear your focus is on finishing your education! Things with me are good, although I'm a litte peeved about the crappy summer we're having. We normally get a good month's heatwave up here, but this year it barely lasted a week! Still..it's all good!
