Custom star lights in a theatre room 📽️⚡️
Have you ever wanted star lights in your theatre room but didn’t want to spend a fortune? Most home audio shops sell star light panels, but they come with a hefty price tag. Each panel adds up quickly, and multiple panels are usually needed for decent coverage, putting a simple ceiling feature out of reach for many people.
We recently came up with the idea to create our own panels. After proposing the idea to the owner, we purchased four star light kits from the internet, which were substantially cheaper and nowhere near the cost of a single panel from a shop.
Next, we went to a local hardware store and bought the largest MDF timber panel they had. After prepping each panel and drilling multiple holes for the fibre optic star lights, we battened out the ceiling to create a small drop ceiling so the fibre optics could move freely without getting damaged.
Fast forward a few steps — once the ceiling was spray painted black, we trimmed all the fibre optic strands to give it a seamless starry look. We couldn’t help ourselves and added some LED strip lighting to finish it off.
Love what you do, and the results always pay off
